OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE

I heard about a young lady who always complains anytime there’s work to do; her usual chant is I’m tired. Why would someone complain of tiredness as early as 9:00 a.m.?

Any fellow who sleeps more than eight hours daily on average is a sluggard. He/she will be pegged at the same spot because tasks he/she would have done to contribute to his or her growth would be left undone at the end of the day.

Sleep is meant to revive the hardworking so that he can return to work renewed but to a sluggard, sleep is an end to everything. He loves and lives to sleep.

So, if you have the habit of sleeping for long hours, it is time to change. You can do this by disciplining yourself; define your sleeping hours and have a daily plan of the activities you need to do.

Thereafter, stick to the plan. However, whenever you feel tired or stressed as a result of many activities which can put a strain on your health, please take enough rest so that you don’t break down.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 OCTOBER 2021 KEY POINT

Sleep is not an end, rather a means to get strength.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 14 OCTOBER 2021 HYMN

I AM THINE O LORD

1. I am Thine O Lord
I have heard Thy voice
And it told Thy love to me
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

CHORUS:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord
By the pow’r of grace divine
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope
And my will be lost in Thine.

3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend.

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
