TOPIC: Shutting Up Mockers [Open Heaven for Teens 28 April 2023]

MEMORISE: The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Proverbs 10:28

READ: Psalms 35:15-19

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 1-2

MESSAGE

One major reason people submit to telling lies is the fear of being punished. It was this fear that made Adam and Eve lie to God as soon as they heard Him call. One thing we have to remember is that fear is not from God, it’s from the devil. So, each time you lie, you are confessing that you are a child of the devil. Some other people lie to show they are clever or smart, like Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5.

A lie is anything other than the absolute truth. Flattery, falsehood, truth mixed with lies and hypocritical statements are all nothing but lies. You should know that telling lies is a problem because all you will feel is guilt: you will not have a clear conscience. For example, collecting more money than you are asked to pay in school from your parents is a lie. My beloved child, lying will only delay your punishment. In order to escape God’s punishment, do away with all lies.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, turn the expectation if my mockers to disappointment today, in Jesus’name.

HYMN 14 – Standing On The Promises Of God

  1. Standing on the promises of Christ our King,
    Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring:
    Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
    Standing on the promises of God.

Chorus
Standing, Standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour
Standing, Standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

  1. Standing on the promises that can-not fail,
    When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
    By the living word of Go I shall prevail,
    Standing on the promises of God.
  2. Standing on the promises I now can see
    Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
    Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
    Standing on the promises of God.
  3. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
    Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
    Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
    Standing on the promises of God.
