OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS DATE: SUNDAY 24TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2023 THEME: BE DEVOTED

MEMORISE: Not slothful in business: fervent in spirit: serving the Lord: Romans 12:11

BIBLE TEXT: Hebrews 10:25

[25]Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

MESSAGE: 

Did you accept Christ at a young age, and now you feel unmotivated about your walk with God. or perhaps, you think you've outgrown your Christian walk and it's time to find something new? Well, the truth is that Christianity is a relationship with Jesus. You may sometimes feel really dedicated to Christ by doing certain Church activities when you're at home but the moment you get back to school, you may be tempted to go cold on God and spiritual activities that will help you grow.

Below are some tips to help you stay devoted to Christ and grow no matter where you find yourself:

1. Read and study your Bible for at least twenty minutes a day. You can do more but not less.

2. Thirst for the in-filling of the Holy Spirit and build up your faith by praying in tongues. This experience is always amazing.

3. Fellowship with others by praying together and sharing testimonies about what God is doing in your life. Iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17).

KEY POINT:

No one stands alone and succeeds: you need to be constantly in touch with fellow believers.

HYMN 9 - O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED 

1. O Jesus, I have promised 

To serve Thee to the end; 

Be Thou for ever near me, 

My Master and my Friend:

I shall not fear the battle 

If Thou art by my side,

Nor wander from the pathway 

If Thou wilt be my Guide. 

2. O let me feel Thee near me; 

The world is ever near;

I see the sights that dazzle,

The tempting sounds I hear;

My foes are ever near me,

Around me and within;

But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,

And shield my soul from sin. 

3. O let me hear Thee speaking

In accents clear and still,

Above the storms of passion,

The murmurs of self-will;

O speak to reassure me,

To hasten or control;

O speak and make me listen,

Thou Guardian of my soul. 

4. O Jesus, Thou hast promised 

To all who follow Thee,

That where Thou art in Glory

There shall Thy servant be;

And, Jesus, I have promised

To serve Thee to the end;

O give me grace to follow

My Master and my Friend.
