OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS
DATE: SATURDAY, 29TH OF JULY, 2023
THEME: NOT ALLOWED
MEMORISE: I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14
[29]Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
MESSAGE
The use of derogatory words to qualify a fellow human being is a bane in the world today. Some parents consistently use these words on their children, teachers use it on their students, et cetera. Unfortunately, this has led to depression and low self-esteem in many victims. When I was a teacher addressed every act of physical verbal and emotional bullying that came to my notice because, as a mother and educationist, I know that name-calling is not healthy for the psychological development of a child.
Many children who were raised with insults and were emotionally abused or violently brought up are now parents who have turned on their children, and the cycle continues. However, I believe that the cycle can be broken by you if you let the Holy Spirit take hold of you from today. If you are truly born again, you can’t be given to name-calling and emotional/verbal abuse. Actually, name-calling is an insult to God because you’re indirectly saying that He didn’t do a good job on that person. So, desist from such acts and ask for a change of heart, words, and actions from now on.
KEY POINT
Every human is wonderfully and fearfully made by God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 50-52
HYMN 9 – O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED
1. O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou for ever near me,
My Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
2. O let me feel Thee near me;
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
3. O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.
4. O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee,
That where Thou art in Glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend.
