OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 MARCH 2023 WEDNESDAY: PARABLE OF THE SOWER II

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 MARCH 2023 MEMORIZE: Study to show thy self approved unto to God. 2 Timothy 2:15

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 MARCH 2023 BIBLE READING MATTHEW 13:3-4

[3]And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

[4]And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 MARCH 2023 MESSAGE

Today, we will focus on the seeds that fell along the path. Remember that the sower was on the way to his farmland to sow when they fell. This invariably shows that there are people on the path to Heaven who won’t eventually get to the final destination to blossom with the “Lily of the Valley” in eternity.

These are the people who catch “Rhema” based on what someone said without fully understanding or digging into the word of God by themselves to become fully grounded. They are excited when the pastor preaches, and they quickly base their convictions on the message without checking to do further study. They like to show off and quote what someone else has said about God.

They have no personal encounter with Him so, when fowls come to devour them through challenges, trials, and disappointments, they fall because they lack roots!

Beloved, if you fall into this category, you need to wake up and start studying the Bible. You also need to ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen your convictions in the word.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 MARCH 2023 ACTION POINT

Attending Bible study with other believers is good, but it is your personal Bible study that will deepen your roots

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 MARCH 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.
