Open Heaven For Teens 17th January 2023 MESSAGE
It is not enough to say NO to advances from the devil, fleeing is the best option. This is why Apostle Paul warned in 1 Thessalonians 5:22:
*”Abstain from all appearance of evil.”*
The Bible did not record that you should say no; instead, it says run as fast as you can. So, if you have friends who tell you they lie to save themselves from getting punished and that it works for them, I implore you to cut ties with them now before you also master the act of telling lies.
As the saying goes: “prevention is better than cure.” Having once wasted my time toying with sin in my youth and now living on the path of holiness by the grace of God, I can boldly tell you as a father, that it is better to live a holy life. I pray that the Lord will give you the courage to flee instead of just saying NO today in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT
Why leap when you can run
HYMN 15 – ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
1. Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go.
CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before.
2. At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth Ilee;
On then, Christian soldiers
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
4. Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise-
And that cannot fail.
5. Onward then, ye people,
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
“Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King”, –
This, through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Exodus 5-7
