OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 15 JULY 2023 BIBLE READING Acts 17:10-12

[10]And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
[11]These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
[12]Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 15 JULY 2023 MESSAGE

The concluding part of today’s Bible text presents to us the perfect attitude of a child of God to every word he/she hears, The Berean Christians checked the scriptures to confirm what Paul and other preachers said about the gospel of Christ before believing it.

Clearly, we are in the last days where diverse preachers have risen to preach false messages, and those who are not spiritually inclined are falling prey to their gimmicks.

It’s so rampant that the Bible says that if those whose salvation is founded on the rock of ages don’t exercise caution, they may fall for the deception too. Unfortunately, on the last day, ignorance will not be an excuse.

My dear, God’s word is very clear about everything: take your time to read and know it for yourself, then allow the Holy Spirit to interpret it to you.

Don’t just listen and follow every preacher, be like the Berean Christians.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 15 JULY 2023 HYMN

HYMN 18 – WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD

1. When we walk with the Lord,
In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS
DATE: MONDAY, JULY 17TH OF JUNE, 2023
THEME: LOVE IS A VIRTUE

MEMORISE: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:39b

READ: Galatians 5:22-26
[22]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23]Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
[24]And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
[25]If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
[26]Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

MESSAGE
Love is the first fruit of the Spirit listed in our text for today. I believe it’s because love enables child of God to develop the other fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit has its root in the Holy Spirit, this invariably means that anyone who doesn’t have the Holy Spirit may not find it easy to love others genuinely.
When we reflect on the different ways God expresses His love to us daily, we will be grateful and reciprocate His love by loving Him and the people around us. Christ, as our perfect example, has shown us that the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of a child of God will make him/her express love even when he/she is not loved back. The Bible says that while we were yet sinners, Christ loved us and died for us (Romans 5:8). This means that love is unconditional; there is no condition attached to loving others. You may say that love is reciprocal, so you will only love those who love you and hate those who hate you; well, this is not the perfect kind of love endorsed by God.

HYMN 19: JESUS LOVES ME! THIS I KNOW
1. Jesus loves me! this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

CHORUS
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.

2. Jesus loves me He who died,
Heaven’s gate to open wide,
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.

3. Jesus loves me, loves me still,
Tho’ I’m very weak and ill
From His shining throne on high
He will watch me where I lie.

4. Jesus loves me He will stay
Close beside me all the way,
If I love Him when I die
He will take me home on high.
