SCRIPTURE READING
Ecclesiastes 3:1-3
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
Open Heaven For Teens – 17th August 2025 MESSAGE
God is the Creator of all things, and He knows what is best for you. He can never fail in fulfilling His promises. When God promises to do a thing, He will surely bring it to pass, but only at His appointed time. The Bible says that God makes all things beautiful in His own time (Ecclesiastes 3:11); this means that when people rush to get results that are not according to God’s timing, they might end up having great problems. For example, a boy who fails an exam the first time has only gotten an opportunity to prepare harder for the next time he will write the exam; however, if the boy decides to cheat or get someone else to write the exam for him, he might get caught and be disqualified from the educational programme he is enrolled in entirely.
God’s timing is the best because He knows what is best for you. Do not be impatient when you want something. There is a serious obsession with getting rich quickly these days, and many young people are guilty of this. I heard about some youths who engage in sports betting and gambling with their school fees. My dear child, do not sell your birthright be c a u s e o f immediate gratification. Keep engaging in legitimate work, and God will bless the work of your hands in due time.

HYMN 33
GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH!
1. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven! Bread of heaven!
Feed me now and evermore (2ce)
2. Open Thou the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow:
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer! strong deliverer!
Be Thou still my strength and shield (2ce)
3. If I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside:
Bear me through the swelling torrent,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises! songs of praises!
I will ever give to Thee (2ce)
4. Saviour, come! We long to see Thee,
Long to dwell with Thee above;
And to know in full communion,
All the sweetness of Thy love.
Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!
Take Thy waiting people home (2ce)
