OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS DATE: FRIDAY 2ND FEBRUARY 2018: LIARS: THE DEVIL’S CHILDREN
MEMORISE: And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
Please read: John 8:32-44
MESSAGE:
There are two sides to every coin, and in life, there are always two sides to everything. It is
either you are greedy or generous; hardworking or lazy; truthful or a liar; a child of God or a child of the devil. Read: Open Heaven 2 February 2018
There is no sitting on the fence. A
lie can be defined as anything other than the truth. What is the truth? Several passages of the
Bible use Jesus as a synonym for the truth.
For example, John 8:32 says:
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Jesus (The Truth) sets free, but the devil (father
of all liars according to John 8:44) puts in bondage. Read: Open Heaven 3 February 2018
Every time you speak the truth, it is
proof that Jesus lives in you, and He will make you free. Whereas whenever you lie, you are
giving the devil an invitation to put you in bondage.
Remember, in life there is no sitting on
the fence, you are either for the truth (Jesus) or for the lie (Satan).
KEY POINT:
Choose your side wisely.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Exodus 29-30
Matthew 22:1-22
Hymn 7.
1. I am Thine 0 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.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.
