OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 15 NOVEMBER 2024 MEMORISE: Thou shalt not steal. Exodus 20:15
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 15 NOVEMBER 2024 READ: Genesis 31:30-34
30. And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
31. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
32. With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
33. And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’. tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
34. Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel’s furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 15 NOVEMBER 2024 MESSAGE:
To steal is to take another person’s property without their approval, particularly with the intention of not returning it.
If a growing child or teenager takes his or her parent’s money without their consent, such a fellow has stolen.
Some children say, “Whatever belongs to my father belongs to me. I should be free to take any of his things whenever I like.”
No! Your parents have plans for all that they have. Taking their things without permission can disrupt some of those plans.
An example of someone who took from her father without his consent was Rachel from our Bible reading today.
She stole her father’s gods and even denied taking them, and the repercussion was premature death (Genesis 35:17-19) because her husband, while trying to defend himself from her father’s accusation, pronounced a curse on anyone who stole the images.
Beloved, there is a curse on children who steal from their parents. If you are guilty of this, restitute your ways and desist from stealing henceforth.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 15 NOVEMBER 2024 ACTION POINT:
If you have stolen anything from your parents, return it today and ask for their forgiveness.
