OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 18 FEBRUARY 2023 MESSAGE

An idol is anything that a fellow worships. It takes the place of God in the life of its worshipper. Examples are phones, fashion, accessories, worldly music, lust, humans, et cetera. Don’t be quick to dismiss today’s topic because many Christians have idols without knowing. If there’s something you cannot do without for a day or more, it is an idol.

I remember when one of my children fell ill many years ago. I took him to God in prayers and said, “Father, this is my child, please heal him.” I realized he didn’t get better. Then I prayed to Him again, and this time, He said, “Since he is your child, heal him.” So, I quickly said, “God, he is Your child, please heal him.”

Since then, when I pray for the children, I refer to them as His children in my care. I want you to realize early that nothing belongs to you, so nothing or no one should take the place of God in your life because our God is a jealous God. If you truly see Him as the only Lord of your life, then do away with idols.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 18 FEBRUARY 2023 HYMN

O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED

1. O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou for ever near me,
My Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.

2. O let me feel Thee near me;
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.

3. O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.

4. O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee,
That where Thou art in Glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend.
