Open Heaven For Teens 24th May 2025 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: Be Grateful
MEMORISE
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Psalms 103:2
READ: Luke 17:11-19(NIV)
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Ingratitude is an act of robbery against God. It is dangerous not to be grateful because whoever does not show gratitude to God cannot experience joy in full.
In today’s Bible reading, after the Lord Jesus Christ healed ten lepers, only one of the ten came back to show gratitude. He then asked the one who came back, “…Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger” (Luke 17:17- 18). Only the leper that returned to show gratitude received fullness of joy among the ten lepers; he was made whole, and this meant that there was no single trace or scar of leprosy found on his body.
My dear child, from today, count your blessings daily and give God thanks for all He has done, all He’s doing, and all He will still do for you.
PRAYER POINT
I will never be ungrateful to you Lord.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
2 Samuel 4:1-6:23, John 13:31-14:14
HYMN 63
O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy name.
That bids our sorrows cease;
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
His captive would I be,
For He was bound, and scourged and died,
My captive soul to free.
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
Thy will would e’er be mine.
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
My Lord, they all were Thine!
