OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 

DATE: FRIDAY 18TH OF AUGUST, 2023

THEME: CREATED FOR A PURPOSE

MEMORISE: "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: Ephesians 1:11

READ: Proverbs 3:5-7

[5]Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

[6]In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

[7]Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

MESSAGE:

God is a God of purpose. He created everyone for a purpose which He declared in Jeremiah 1:5:

*"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations"*

Therefore, know that you were born for/with a purpose; you were not born by mistake. You may have been born through an unwanted pregnancy, or it could even be that you're a child that was born out of wedlock. Perhaps, you even have parents, but you don't feel loved at all,I want to tell you that you're a winner. You survived despite all the forces against you. 

Don't be discouraged if the feeling of emptiness overwhelms you; that's the best moment to begin to recount and confess all of God's promises to you from His word. Stay close to His heart in the place of meditation so that He will reveal why He sent you to the earth and once you discover it, start making plans to fulfill it.

ACTION POINT:

Praise God for who He has made you to be.

HYMN 5: TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

1. Take my life and let it be

Consecrated Lord to Thee

Take my moment and my days

Let them flow ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for thee 

3. Take my voice and let me sing

Always only for my king;

Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my sliver and my gold

Not a mite would I withhold

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall no longer mine:

Take my heart, it is Thine own; 

It shall be Thy royal throne, 

6 Take my love, my Lord, I pour 

At Thy feet its treasure store;

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for thee  

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 

Jeremiah 47-48
