Topic: Earmarked For Promotion [Open Heavens for Teens 7 July 2019]

Memorise: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. – Psalms 75:6”

Read: 1 Samuel 16:1

And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

Bible In One Year: Job 35-37, Acts 14

MESSAGE:

To be earmarked means to be distinguish. God often demonstrates thus unique attribute by singling out the underserving and bombarding them with unexpected miracles. It is quite easy to conclude that a particular situation is impossible, but when God steps in the impossible becomes possible.

As young boys and girls, it is very important to desire to be singled out by God. You should yearn to be earmarked by God for promotion. When you are singled out by God, things begin to work for you in unimaginable ways. You will start experiencing success in everything that you do; success in your studies, in your daily life and all round. In other to be earmarked for prosperity, you need to have a close relationship with God. As a teenager, you have the opportunity to seek God early and enjoy the benefits. When you walk in this light, you will get on the road to promotion.

Prayer Point:
O Lord, please give me the grace to be distinguished for your glory.

Hymn 1:

1. My faith looks up to Thee,
   Thou Lamb of Calvary, 
   Savior divine!
   Now hear me while I pray, 
   Take all my guilt away, 
   Oh, let me from this day 
   Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impart 
   Strength to my fainting heart, 
   My zeal inspire!
   As Thou hast died for me,
   Oh, may my love to Thee
   Pure, warm and changeless be,
   A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread, 
   And griefs around me spread, 
   Be Thou my guide; 
   Bid darkness turn to day,
   Wipe sorrow’s tears away, 
   Nor let me ever stray 
   From Thee aside.
4. When ends life’s transient dream, 
   When death’s cold sullen stream 
   Shall o’er me roll; 
   Blest Savior, then, in love, 
   Fear and distrust remove; 
   Oh, bear me safe above, 
   A ransomed soul.
