TOPIC: Spiritual Diet
MEMORISE
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Isaiah 7:15
SCRIPTURE READING
Isaiah 7:14-16 (Common English Bible)
14 Therefore, the Lord will give you a sign. The young woman is pregnant and is about to give birth to a son, and she will name him Immanuel.[a] 15 He will eat butter and honey, and learn to reject evil and choose good. 16 Before the boy learns to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be abandoned.
Open Heaven For Teens – 23rd August 2025 MESSAGE
What a fellow eats is very important because food is essential for growth and development. Nutritionists have proven that when a child suffers from malnutrition, his or her brain will function below the standard capacity for his or her age. The elders in my culture usually say, “The height a bird attains is a result of what it feeds on.” In the same vein, a malnourished Christian cannot function in his or her divine capacity, and as a result, he or she might make poor and unsafe choices in life.
Today’s memory verse tells us about the relationship between food and the choices a fellow makes. The spiritual significance of butter and honey is abundance and prosperity, which can be obtained from God’s word. When you feed on God’s word, you will be able to make good choices that will bring prosperity, abundance, and strength to your life.
My dear child, how much time do you dedicate to feeding on God’s word? I want you to be as concerned about your spiritual diet as you are about your physical diet.
KEY POINT
Be mindful of your physical and spiritual diet.

HYMN 60
MOST ANCIENT OF ALL MYSTERIES
1 Most ancient of all mysteries,
Before Thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
2 When heav’n and earth were yet unmade,
When time was yet unknown,
Thou in Thy bliss and majesty
Didst live and love alone.
3 Thou wert not born; there was no fount
From which Thy Being flowed;
There is no end which Thou canst reach;
But Thou art simply God.
4 How wonderful creation is,
The work which Thou didst bless,
And O what then must Thou be like,
Eternal loveliness!
5 O listen then, most pitiful,
To Thy poor creature’s heart:
It blesses Thee that Thou art God,
That Thou art what Thou art.
6 Most ancient of all mysteries,
Still at thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
