Open Heaven For Teens – 11 January 2026 MESSAGE:
Life can sometimes be filled with challenges, but when God fills your heart with joy, you’ll respond positively to situations even in difficult times. I remember a time when all we had left in the house was a tuber of yam. My husband had gone on an outreach and was scheduled to be back that evening. I had planned to make a bowl of pounded yam for him, but that morning, a woman came with an urgent need, and I painfully let go of my last meal. I became so worried about what my husband and children would eat when they returned home, but the Holy Spirit encouraged me to smile and start singing praises to God. I’m sure the devil must have thought I was crazy. Before the end of that day, however, someone blessed us with ten tubers of yams!
My dear child, it is okay to feel sad or frustrated when things don’t go your way, but don’t let those emotions steal your joy. Laugh at the little things you come across to lighten your load, and remind yourself that God is good. He is in control, and He is working things out for your good.
*Quiz:* Fill in the blank: “God is still ______ He is in control, and working things out for your good.”
ACTION POINT:
When you are faced with a difficult situation, laugh and rejoice knowing that God’s got you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: MATTHEW 9:18-38 GENESIS 27-28
HYMN 58 – MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING ELSE
1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to veils His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]
