OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Open Heaven for Teens 2 April 2023 Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye

TOPIC: Your Identity

MEMORISE: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12

BIBLE READING:1 JOHN 3:1-3

[1]Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

[2]Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

[3]And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

MESSAGE: I once asked the Almighty God why He allowed me to “waste” twenty-seven years studying mathematics when He knew I would eventually become a pastor. The Lord told me it was simply for the purpose of being able to preach mathematically. It then dawned on me that truly all things work together for good, for the children of of God.

You cannot discover your true identity if you are not in Christ. If you know your true identity, it will help you not to compromise the call of God on your life. As a child of God, you are a light in the midst of darkness, called to shine forth. You are a bridge to the destinies of men, and if you don’t discover your identity, the destinies of those attached to yours may not be discovered.

Beloved, you are not a child of God just to feel good or attend church, but to make a lasting impact in the world and bring others to Christ. Thus, you need to find out what God has empowered you for and do exploits.

BIBLE QUIZ:

others?
a) Judge fairly
b) Judge not
c) Judge justly
d) Judge partially

PRAYER: Father, let me find my place in you.

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.
