Open Heaven For Teens 15th January 2023 MESSAGE
The Bible passage for today says your body is the temple of God. This means you should be careful about what goes into the temple and what you wear on it.
The elders have a saying, “if children of the same mother enter a room to talk and come out smiling, they have not told each other the truth.” So, I will speak frankly with you today because I love you. A lot of young people have missed it, and some have even lost their lives in the name of fashion. Why would your hair look like that of a madman or be braided to your knee? Why allow someone to put a tattoo on your skin? Why wear a dress exposing your nakedness, or a jean trouser torn on the knee? These are worldly fashions that disqualify many people in the sight of God.
Dear child, embrace the natural beauty that God endowed you with. Set a standard wherever you find yourself. Let your dressing glorify God and not the devil.

REFLECTION
Can people see Jesus in your dressing?
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
