OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 16 MARCH 2025 BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 4:9 -12

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 16 MARCH 2025 MESSAGE:

Let me tell you what I believe to be the origin of clapping. One day, the fingers woke up, heard the birds singing, and said, “O God, we also want to praise you.” They tried to make a sound individually, but no sound came.

Suddenly, they said, “If two of us should cooperate, maybe we can produce some sounds.” So, one finger cooperated with another finger, and they discovered that there was a little snapping sound.

They took it further; one finger cooperated with the other palm, and they made a better sound. Thereafter, another finger decided to join in.

The sound improved, and before long, all the fingers were jamming together in praise, making a joyful noise to the Lord.

The lesson in this story is that when we are many and are in cooperation with one another, we can achieve more.

This also applies to evangelism. The more Christians we have around the world, the greater our impact will be.

If God is truly your Father, you will be committed to the expansion of His kingdom.

My dear child, preach the gospel anywhere you find yourself and set a personal target to win at least one soul to Christ every day.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 16 MARCH 2025 HYMN 4 –

BE GLAD IN THE LORD AND REJOICE

1 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
All ye that are upright in heart;
And ye that have made him your choice,
Bid sadness and sorrow depart.

Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice!
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!

2 Be joyful, for He is the Lord,
On earth and in heaven supreme;
He fashions and rules by His word;
The Mighty and strong to redeem

3 What though in the conffict for right
Your enemies almost prevail,
God’s armies, just hid from your sight,
Are more than the foes which assail.

4 Though darkness surround you by day,
Your sky by the night be o’ercast,
Let nothing your spirit dismay,
But trust till the danger is past.

5 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
His praises proclaiming in song;
With harp, and with organ and voice
The loud hallelujahs prolong!
