OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 MAY 2020 MESSAGE

There is a lot of danger in being fake.

As written in todays Bible reading, it was
not the season for the fig tree to bear fruit,
but it presented itself otherwise.

Jesus cursed it not for being without fruit, but for pretending to be with fruit.

Many teenagers can be likened to this fig tree today.

There are things you desire to have (e.g. latest computer game) and you feel ashamed not having them yet you decide to deceive people into thinking you already have them.

The day you are discovered, you will be
greatly disgraced.

Just like that fig tree, all the blossoming you were doing around will stop and you will suddenly become extra gentle, practically dry like the tree.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 MAY

Stop being fake. Let everyone know you for who you are.

If they dont like who you are, then they are not meant to be your friends.

Won’t you rather have friends who like the real you than friends you have to pretend to so that they can remain your friends?.

The devil is the father of liars (John 8:44 ).
Don’t be one of his children.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 MAY 2020 PRAYER POINT

Do friends and classmates know the real
you?

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 11 MAY 2020 HYMN

IS YOUR LIFE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING?

1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God
flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Saviour?
Are you ready His service to do?

CHORUS

Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for
those that are lost?
Have you urged upon
those who are straying,
The Saviour who died on the cross?

3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from all sins;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.
