Open Heaven For Teens 30th November 2023 Thursday Daily Devotional Message by Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: Upgrade Your Tolerance Level
MEMORISE: Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Colossians 3:13
BIBLE TEXT: Colossians 3:13-14
[13]Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
[14]And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
MESSAGE:
Tolerance is the ability to co-exist with people in peace and harmony. As a teenager there will be situations that will make you want to retreat or not relate with a classmate, sibling, or even you parents due to different opinions cultures, religions, rules, et cetera. You should know these situations are a test of your level of tolerance.
At such times, you are expected to understand and choose peace above your values and beliefs. You need to subject your mind to the Holy Spirit and be like Jesus, who accommodated everyone that came around Him. Several times, the pharisees tested him, yet He didn’t sin against God. He lived among there and answered their many queries with wisdom.
Also, Jesus knew Judas would betray Him, yet He lived with him peacefully and kept sharing the word of God with him and other disciples. Tolerance is a virtue which is a fruit of the Spirit. Show me a tolerant fellow, and I will show you someone who has been trained by the Holy Spirit
REFLECTION:
How tolerant are you?
HYMN 21 – I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS
1. I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one mark’d an angry word,
That ever heard Him speak,
2. I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met his Father there.
3. I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted was
To anyone unkind.
4. I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good;
So that of me it may be said
“He hath done what he could.”
5. I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
“Let little children come to Me;”
I would obey the call.
6. But oh I’m not like Jesus,
As anyone may see;
O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
And make me like to Thee
