OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 28 SEPTEMBER 2019

THEME: LAZINESS

MEMORISE:

He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. Proverbs 10:4

Read: Proverbs 24:30-34

30. I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

31. And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

32. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

34. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

No genuine child of God should ever be lazy. Jesus said His Father works and He works; like Father like Son.

If you are lazy, I wonder if you are really a child of God. In my house, no child can be be lazy.

There was a time one of my sons who was, as of then, very young wanted a new shoe for the first convention on Redemption Camp and he approached my wife.

My wife asked him to go to the arena which was under construction and work for the money to buy the shoe.

The young man took it as a challenge and went to carry cement, got paid and when he had saved enough money, he got the shoe.

Laziness is a worm that would eat into every aspect of your life; your academics, your walk with God, et cetera and make you a failure in all these areas.

If you are not lazy, you I’ll do what you ought to do at the right time, you won’t just sit at home watching movies or catching up with gist on social media. Hard work pays.

It doesn’t matter how rich a person’s parents are, if he is lazy, serious poverty is waiting for him because it takes hard work to maintain wealth.

KEY POINT:

Laziness has many consequences while hard work has many benefits, choose wisely.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 13-15, Galatians 6

Hymn 5
1. Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go!

Chorus
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!

2. At the Sign of triumph
Satan’s host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!

3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.

4. Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King;
This, through countless ages
Men and angels sing.
