Open Heaven For Teens – 26th August 2025 MESSAGE
Being very active in church activities does not imply that a person truly knows God. In fact, no matter the amount of offerings or tithes a person gives, if he or she does not live in accordance with God’s word, such a person’s giving will not be acceptable to God. Knowing God means having an intimate relationship with Him.
It saddens my heart when I see young people who claim to be God’s children, yet they need to be coerced or forced to go to church or participate in the things of God. Clearly, they do not know God, let alone have a relationship with Him. When you know God, you will love Him. This love will motivate you to serve Him and thirst for Him more. The more you love God, the more intimate you will become with Him. This intimacy will lead to humility, selflessness, and service to humanity.
You can know God by revelation. This revelation can only come in the place of constant fellowship with God. My dear child, desire to know God and walk with Him closely as Abraham and many other biblical characters did. They walked with God and ended well. I pray that you will end well too, in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT
Ask God to reveal Himself to you.

HYMN 31
WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE
1 Wonderful story of love!
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love!
Wake the immortal strain.
Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, O won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love!
Refrain:
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful story, Wonderful story of love!
2 Wonderful story of love!
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love!
Still he doth call today.
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation;
Wonderful story of love!
3 Wonderful story of love!
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love!
For all the pure and blest;
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus;
Wonderful story of love!
