OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 MAY 2022 MESSAGE

It is a horrible feeling to be defenceless or helpless in this hostile world filled with bullies both in the physical and spiritual.

Some threaten to make life unbearable for others, even though they didn’t create that life. This may be your case if you’re being maltreated by your employer/guardian.

You may be a young apprentice being maltreated by an overbearing boss or an orphan who is unjustly treated by relatives.

Have you been asking God for intervention and it seems He isn’t forthcoming? God can defend you on time if He so desires but He sometimes waits until you’re completely helpless so that you will not interfere in any way and take all the glory.

Moreover, when you are helpless, you will pray wholeheartedly, knowing that only He can help you.God is a defender of the defenceless. When the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians, He rose on their behalf and defended them.

Whenever the Israelites were under the mighty hand of their oppressors, God showed up. He is still God and He will deliver you as promised in Isaiah 49:26. Cry unto Him today.

Father, please arise and defend me.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 12 MAY 2022 HYMN

O WORSHIP THE KING

1. O worship the King all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love:
our Shield and Defender, the
Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendour and girded
with praise.

2. O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
whose robe is the light, whose
canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep
thunderclouds form,
and dark is His path on the wings of
the storm.

3. Thy bountiful care, what tongue can
recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the
light;
It streams from the hills, it descends
to the plain,
and sweetly distils in the dew and
the rain.

4. Frail children of dust, and feeble as
frail,
in Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to
fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm
to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer,
and Friend!

5. O measureless Might, ineffable Love,
While angels delight to hymn Thee above!
The humbler creation, though
feeble their lays,
with true adoration shall lisp to Thy praise!
