Open Heaven for Teens 18th February 2021 Devotional Message:

Yesterday. we talked about how anyone who fornicates can incur the wrath of God. Our God is a jealous God, He does not joke with what belongs to Him. Hence, anyone who mishandles whatever is His will have himself or herself to blame. Apart from incurring God’s wrath, there are other dangers in fornication.

There are a lot of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhoea, HIV/AIDS, syphilis et cetera in the world now. Sometimes, I feel these diseases are canes in the hand of the devil to be used on the disobedient children. If you don’t want to be flogged by the devil, stay away from fornication. Fornication takes away your peace and put you amongst the dead (Proverbs 9:17&18).

There is also a spiritual undertone in sex. When a fellow has sex with another, there is an exchange of spirits. This explains why some people behave in a strange manner without knowing the cause. Are you fornicating with anyone? Are you a fellowship leader in the higher institution having sex with someone you are not married to? You’d better change today.

Key Point: Flee fornication!

Hymn 19: What Can Wash Away My Stain

What can wash away my stain?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Chorus:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know, .
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2.For my cleansing this I see –
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my pardon this my plea –
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

3.Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus:
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

4.This is all my hope and peace.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus:
His is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
