OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2024 MEMORISE; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2024 READ Matthew 3:5-12
5. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6. And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Beloved, be a vessel of evangelism and share these life-changing messages, prayers, and declarations with the precious people around you.
Today’s Powerful Confession: I confess today that I receive the full blessings of my spiritual inheritance as I faithfully serve, honour, and obey the spiritual father God has placed over my life, in the mighty name of Jesus. Somebody Shout Hallelujah!

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 17 OCTOBER 2024 MESSAGE
I had a friend at the university who continued in sin while I chose to give my life to Christ.
One of his worst habits was smoking; he used to smoke about ten cigarette sticks every day, not minding the health risks.
One day, while having a conversation with him, he asked me to show him where God said, “Thou shall not smoke” in the Bible.
Instead of getting into an argument with him, I asked the Holy Spirit to give me the right Scripture, and I was led to the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17.
I explained that the type of stone that was capable of bringing down the enemy was a smooth stone and not any other kind.
Therefore, as long as he remained in his bad habits, he would remain rough, and he would be unfit for God’s use to achieve great things for the kingdom.
To the glory of God, within that same week, my friend stopped smoking, womanising, and doing other bad things.
He remained on the path of righteousness for over 40 years before he passed on to glory.
My dear child, if you’re still toying with sin, God wants you to turn a new leaf so that you can become an arrow in His hand.
In this way, when He launches you against the enemy, you will hit the target and bring victory to His name.

Are you a smooth stone or a rough stone

HYMN 40: CHRIST IS OUR CORNER-STONE
1. Christ Is Our Corner-Stone;
On Him Alone We Build;
With His True Saints Alone
The Courts Of Heaven Are Filled;
On His Great Love
Our Hopes We Place
Of Present Grace,
And Joys Above.
2. Oh, Then, With Hymns Of Praise
These Hallow’d Courts Shall Ring:
Our Voices We Will Raise,
The Three In One To Sin;
And Thus Proclaim
In Joyful Song,
Both Loud And Long,
That Glorious Name.
3. Here, Gracious God, Do Thou
For Evermore Draw Nigh;
Accept Each Faithful Vow,
And Mark Each Suppliant Sigh;
In Copious Shower
On All Who Pray,
Each Holy Day,
Thy Blessings Pour.
4. Here May We Gain From Heaven
The Grace Which We Implore,
And May That Grace, Once Given
Be With Us Evermore;
Until That Day,
When All The Blest,
To Endless Rest
Are Called Away.
