OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 15 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

The nature of responses given by the Lord Jesus Christ to counter Satan’s temptations in today’s Bible reading shows that He wasn’t in haste. Jesus had just finished a 40-day fast and when He was to break, the devil suggested that He should change stones to loaves of bread.

If Jesus had done it, it would have been harmful to His physical health. The next time you want to break a fast, do so with light homemade food and fruits, not junk or heavy meals.

Many believers today are impatient and the devil is exploiting them, particularly the young ones. This he does subtly by suggesting different ungodly things to them when they are in unpleasant situations.

Unfortunately, the ones who are not spiritually sensitive or discerning succumb to his will and become his prey. You must be like those who obtained the promise through patience in the Bible.

For instance, Joseph’s expectation of being released from the prison didn’t come through until Pharaoh had a dream and he was sent for to interpret it. This took about two years after he interpreted the Butler’s dream (Genesis 40:1-6).

Whatever has a beginning, has an end. Your trying time will not last forever; be patient.

BE GLAD IN THE LORD AND REJOICE

1. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
All ye that are upright in heart;
And ye that have made
Him your choice,
Bid sadness and sorrow depart.

CHORUS
Rejoice, rejoice!
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!
Rejoice, rejoice!

On earth and in Heaven supreme;
He fashions and rules by His word;
The “Mighty” and “Strong” to redeem.

3. What though in the conflict for right
Your enemies almost prevail,
God’s armies, just hid from your sight,
Are more than the foes which assail.
