OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 1 DECEMBER 2018 – EMPLOYING FILTERS
MEMORISE: A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. Proverbs 1:5
Please read: Romans 10:16-18
MESSAGE:
One of the ways by which you can identify the wise is by what he hears. God has given everyone the right to determine what to hear and what not to hear.
What you hear doesn’t stop at your ear gate but goes into your heart, affects your actions and reactions and can determine your destiny.
If your ears are open to unwholesome words such as gossips, backbiting, erotic talk, then you are not wise. If you listen to and enjoy worldly songs, you are not acting wise. Also Read – Open Heaven 2 December 2018
A wise fellow deliberately selects what he hears. He listens to what edifies him. You will know the wise fellow by the length of time he gives to the Word of God; reading the Bible, listening to messages and healthy music.
The wise only listen to things that will stir up the fire of consecration in them. Are you wise? Do the things you listen to build you up or tear you down?
KEY POINT:
Wise people have filters at their ear gate to sieve what they hear.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Ezekiel 45-46
2 Peter 3
Hymn 16
1. Christian, seek not yet repose
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.
2. Principalities and power
Mustering their unseen array
Wait for the unguarded hours:
Watch and pray
3. Gird the heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.
4. Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.
5. Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou loves to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.
6. Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
Happy new month
