OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 28 OCTOBER 2021 MESSAGE
Following the Lord correctly in one youth prepares a good foundation for running the Christian race till the end.
In today’s Bible reading, Jesus talked about the seeds that fell in stony places. Due to the unfavourable soil condition, they withered at the rising of the sun.
Unfortunately, there are many teenagers whose hearts are like these stony places; they have no root at all in Christ. For example, if you are a Christian only because you were born into a Christian home, you have no root.
Such Christians are the ones who would say they can’t be caught stealing N20,000 because the amount is small. They would rather steal a large amount of money since it’s the same punishment that will be meted out to both the person who stole small amounts of money and large.
Anyone who does not have a personal encounter with Christ will easily succumb to any pressure to steal or engage in fraudulent practices.
I pray that you will have a personal encounter with God today and He will solidify your root in Jesus name.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 28 OCTOBER 2021 PRAYER POINT
Father, please let Your love be rooted in my heart more than anything else.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 28 OCTOBER 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.
