OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 9 OCTOBER 2024 MESSAGE
Teenagers face different challenges that may make them doubt the existence of God or His response to their needs.
However, I will emphasize that God is faithful, and He never fails His children who put their trust in Him.
I remember when God told me to leave my job as a senior lecturer at the university to go into full-time ministry.
At that time, pastoring was unpopular because the few pastors that we knew then were poor and uneducated.
It was a new terrain that I never envisaged for myself at all, but my Commander-inChief told me to dive in!
At that time, my salary was more than the entire income of the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
After I realized that there would be no more income to sustain myself and my family, I cried bitterly, but God told me to trust Him because He was my new Employer, and He would not let me suffer.
All He expected of me was to place my complete trust in Him. By His special grace, I have trusted Him, I am still trusting Him, and He has never failed me.
My dear child, no matter what you are going through, please don’t shift your gaze from God.
Commit your ways to Him and trust Him to make all things beautiful for you in His time.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 9 OCTOBER 2024 HYMN 35
‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
1. ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3. Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
4. I’m so glad I learn’d to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
