TOPIC: Grow Spiritually [Open Heaven for Teens 27 February 2024]
MEMORISE: But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Ephesians 4:15
READ: Luke 2:52
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
MESSAGE
By the special grace of God, we B are all joint heirs with Christ. Once you receive Jesus into your heart, you become cleansed by the blood He shed on Calvary. However, your spiritual growth won’t happen automatically. You must desire to grow and discipline yourself to do all that is required to strengthen your relationship with God.
Sadly, some young people say, “Life is not hard, even God doesn’t stress anyone,” but this is far from the truth. For a Christian to grow, you must put in the work. 1 Peter 2:2 says:
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
Just like a baby grows in stages as a result of the nutrition he takes, so also does a Christian, spiritually. When I became born again, I learnt how to live by faith, study my Bible, thirst for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, fast and pray, go on prayer walks, et cetera. Be committed to your spiritual growth so that you won’t drift away when the storm blows.
KEY POINT
The commitments and priorities that rule your life today will show where you belong tomorrow.
HYMN 9 – Deeper, Deeper In The Love Of Jesus
1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.
CHORUS
O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev’ry day,
And wiser, blessed, Lord,
In Thy precious, holy word.
2. Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus
And His perfect will.
3. Deeper, deeper! tho’ it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.
4. Deeper, higher ev’ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 20:22-22:16; Mark 9:1-29
