TOPIC: Telling Lies? [Open Heaven for Teens 29 March 2023]

MEMORISE: Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. Proverbs 12:22

READ: Revelation 21:8

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 22-24

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.

ACTION POINT

Repent and restitute all the lies you have told today.

HYMN 5 – Take My Life And Let It Be

1. Take my life and let it
   Consecrated Lord to Thee
   Take my moment and my days
   Let them flow ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands and let them move
   At the impulse of Thy love
   Take my feet and let them be
   Swift and beautiful for thee
3. Take my voice and let me sing
   Always only for my king;
   Take my lips and let them be
   Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my sliver and my gold
   Not a mite would I withhold
   Take my intellect, and use
   Every power as thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will and make it Thine,
   It shall no longer mine:
   Take my heart, it is Thine own;
   It shall be Thy royal throne,
6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
   At Thy feet its treasure store;
   Take myself, and I will be
   Ever, only, all for thee
