OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 SEPTEMBER 2021 MESSAGE

We will be considering this topic in light of its commonest synonym which is laziness or idleness. A sluggard is a lazy fellow who knows what to be done but willingly dodges it even if that endeavour will give him a measure of progress; he just doesn’t like to work.

A Christian teenager who has this trait should check himself because he or she didn’t inherit such from Jesus. Jesus said in John 9:4: “I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”

Do you know that a successful man does daily what a failure will do once in a while? The most successful man and the poorest man in the world have equal time and have the power to choose what they do with it which will later show in their results/achievements.

The reality of today is that not every hardworking person becomes successful but I can tell you that every successful person is definitely hardworking. My child, if you’re lazy, you’d better change now.

Do whatever it takes to work hard so that when your mates are flourishing tomorrow, you won’t count regrets wishing you had done better.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 SEPTEMBER 2021 KEY POINT

Success is a cumulative effect of diligence.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 17 SEPTEMBER 2021 HYMN

I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground”.

CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table-land;
Where love and joy and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay,
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these
abound, my constant aim is higher ground.

3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground.

4. I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song while climbing shall resound
Lord lead me on to higher ground.

5. Lord lead me up the mountain side,
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And Heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
