OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 AUGUST 2021 MESSAGE

Elijah had just won a great victory over 450 prophets of Baal and in the process, turned Israels heart back to God.

As he was about to rest, he heard that Jezebel had sworn to kill him, so, he took to his heels.

I would like you to note that the devil usually strikes after a major victory; for this reason, children of God must never rest on their oars.

The more victories you achieve, the more vigilant you should be.

Some years ago, I had the opportunity to speak at the valedictory service of one of our secondary schools.

As the graduating students sang a popular song The Storm is Over, the Holy Spirit instructed me to tell them to calm down.

Many of them thought they were now free from the monitoring and discipline of their parents and teachers; you could see the excitement in them.

As a mother, I rebuked their folly and encouraged them to gird their loins to face the storms in their new higher institutions, churches and future marriages.

My dear, don’t overly celebrate any victory, rather, do it within limits in faith that God will sustain it and give you consistent victories throughout your lifetime.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 AUGUST 2021 KEY POINT

Though you are fighting from victory because Jesus already won your battles, don’t turn your victory to a trap.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 22 AUGUST 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.
