Being a Christian teenager is not very easy. This is because you are faced with different battles everyday. But the biggest battle is the one that can take you away from God.

This type of battle has to be fought and one spiritually. The Bible makes it clear that the race is not to the swift. This means your strength cannot help you win this battle.

Only the Lord of Hosts can fight your battle for you.

What battles are you secretly fighting? Is it lust? Probably fornication, pornography and masturbation? Is it lies? Is it covetousness? Is it anger?

Is it jealousy and strife? Are your parents going through a hard time financially? Perhaps, things seen not to be working in your favour for now.

I have good news for you; you can never be defeated. But your victory is only guaranteed if you make God your Ally. Then you can take the battles to Him.

He will either fight for you (Exodus 14:14) or teach you how to win. Whichever method He chooses, the Almighty God will help you win. He is your winning secret.

KEY POINT:

If you want to win every battle, make God your Ally.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GENESIS 46-48 ; MATTHEW 14:22-36

Hymn 9

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a Friend so faithful?
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield You;
You wilt find a solace there.
