TOPIC: Greatness Is Costly [Open Heaven for Teens 4 September 2023]

MEMORISE: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38

BIBLE TEXT: Judges 13:2-5

2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.

3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.

4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:

5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 33-35

MESSAGE:

God is in the business of making champions out of young people and He is already making some champions. However, there are some people who don’t want to become champions due to the enormous responsibilities that come with it, therefore, they maintain their status quo.

The cost of being a champion is very high. When I was a boxer, it was required of me to shadow punch the air for hours during my jogging exercise at 5:00 am daily. Anytime a tournament was approaching. I would discipline myself on the kind of food to eat and what to discard. It’s a whole lot of work to become a champion and remain one.

I want you to crave a champion’s position that only God can give because He will definitely coach and lead you on the right path; He will call the shots while you obey. For example, if He asks you to go out and preach, give to your difficult neighbour, follow up on a new Convert, pray for the sick, et cetera, you must obey.

HYMN 15 – Onward, Christian Soldiers

  1. Onward, Christian soldiers!
    Marching as to war,
    Looking unto Jesus,
    Who is gone before;
    Christ, the Royal Master,
    Leads against the foe;
    Forward into battle,
    See His banners go.

CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before.

  1. At the name of Jesus
    Satan’s host doth Ilee;
    On then, Christian soldiers
    On to victory!
    Hell’s foundations quiver
    At the shout of praise:
    Brothers, lift your voices,
    Loud your anthems raise.
  2. Like a mighty army
    Moves the Church of God:
    Brothers, we are treading
    Where the saints have trod.
    We are not divided,
    All one body we
    One in hope and doctrine,
    One in charity.
  3. Crowns and thrones may perish
    Kingdoms rise and wane;
    But the Church of Jesus
    Constant will remain:
    Gates of hell can never
    ‘Gainst that church prevail;
    We have Christ’s own promise-
    And that cannot fail.
  4. Onward then, ye people,
    Join our happy throng;
    Blend with ours your voices
    In the triumph song:
    “Glory, praise and honour,
    Unto Christ the King”,
    This, through countless ages,
    Men and angels sing.
