OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2020 BIBLE READING 2 THESSALONIANS 3:6-12

6. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

7. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

8. Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

9. Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.

10. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

12. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2020 MESSAGE

Luke 15:11-32 narrates the story of the prodigal son from which there are a lot of lessons to be learnt.

After he wasted his wealth in a strange land, he became poor and began to starve.

The citizens of that country who had attached themselves to him deserted him when he had nothing left.

He became poorer than the servants in his fathers house.

At that point, he had many options, he could decide to remain in that country and starve to death, he could roam about the streets begging for food, he could as well become a thief.

Rather, he searched for a decent job and found none.

The job he found was a menial job feeding pigs in a farm, which he took.

Today, there are many young fellows into cyber-crime, prostitution, armed robbery et cetera.

Whatever name the crime is called, a crime is a crime and the action of this prodigal son stands to condemn all those who go into crimes for whatever reason.

As a child of God, have zero tolerance for crimes and those involved in it.

If you are in the higher institution, you can volunteer in companies when you are on holiday and gain some experience rather than sit at home idle.

If you are in secondary school, you can learn a skill during your holiday. Never stay idle.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2020 KEY POINT

Anyone who has the ability to work and doesn’t, deserves not to eat.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 OCTOBER 2020 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.
