Open Heaven for Teens – 7th December 2022 | This is My Story

Open Heaven for Teens – 7th December 2022 | Wednesday Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye

TOPIC: This is My Story

MEMORISE: This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15

READ: 1 Timothy 1:11-17

When the creation story began in Genesis 1, it was a pleasant story. Genesis 1:1-3 says:
“1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.”

Beautiful story! Then man fell from grace to grass and the story changed. Man began to wallow in pain, sorrow, hardship and worst of all, separation from the Creator. Genesis 3:23 says:

“Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.”

However, the story took a positive turn when Jesus came into the scene. He died, resurrected and bought us pardon. Through Him, we are reconciled to God. If your story is still ugly, it can change today; just allow Jesus to come into your life and He will turn it around for good.

PRAYER POINT: Father, please turn my story around for good.

HYMN: In Christ Alone

1. In Christ alone my hope is found
   He is my light, my strength, my song
   This Cornerstone, this solid ground
   Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
   What heights of love, what depths of peace
   When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
   My Comforter, my All in All
2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
   Fullness of God in helpless babe
   This gift of love and righteousness
   Scorned by the ones He came to save
   ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
   The wrath of God was satisfied
   For every sin on Him was laid
3. There in the ground His body lay
   Light of the world by darkness slain
   Then bursting forth in glorious Day
   Up from the grave He rose again
   And as He stands in victory
   Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
   For I am His and He is mine
   Bought with the precious blood of
4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
   This is the power of Christ in me
   From life’s first cry to final breath
   Jesus commands my destiny
   No power of hell, no scheme of man
   Can ever pluck me from His hand
   Till He returns or calls me home
