17. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 SEPTEMBER 2020 MESSAGE
It is unfortunate that proper home training, especially on how to treat elders is lacking these days amongst the children of God.
God expects us to treat elders with great humility.
For instance, when you see an elder carrying some load, it is expected of you to assist in carrying them.
But these days, you would see children who would walk past and pretend that they saw nothing.
Similarly, if you are sitting down in Church or in a bus, and there are no more seats, and you see an elder standing, you should immediately rise and offer your seat.
You shouldn’t allow an elder to greet you first, always greet them first.
If you are walking on the stairs or a narrow path, and an elder is coming, you should stop and give the elder the way rather than push him aside or squeeze your way through.
1 Timothy 5:1-2 tells us not to rebuke an elder.
Even if an elder does wrong, it is wrong of you to rebuke him/her like you would rebuke your mate.
When dealing with elders, you can either receive blessings or curses from them, so mind how you treat them.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 SEPTEMBER 2020 KEY POINT
Your attitude to elders will determine if you will be blessed or cursed.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 SEPTEMBER 2020 HYMN
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 or a fear,
Not a sigh or 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.
