Open Heaven For Teens – 2 October 2025 TOPIC: Seek Spiritual Growth
MEMORISE
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit…
Jeremiah 12:2
SCRIPTURE READING
Galatians 5:19-23
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Open Heaven For Teens – 2 October 2025 MESSAGE
I am always happy when I watch my children on YouTube, praying and singing in the Holy Ghost. I believe it is a manifestation of God’s promise to pour His Spirit upon all flesh in the last days (Joel 2:28). However, I will like to emphasise that although it is important to covet the gifts of the Spirit and walk in them, growing the fruit of the Spirit in today’s Bible reading is what really distinguishes a genuine Christian and qualifies him or her for heaven.
There are many people today who speak in tongues and perform miracles but are on their way to hell. However, I have not seen a person who genuinely loves people and has the fruit of the Spirit who will not endure to the end.
My dear child, the fruit of the Spirit is what distinguishes a child of God from one who is merely practising Christianity as a religion. To grow in the Spirit, you must study God’s word because it is a mirror that exposes your weaknesses to you. As you work on your weaknesses, you will become better. The more you yield yourself to the Holy Spirit, the more you will grow in the Spirit and bear fruit.
ACTION POINT
Study about the fruit of the Spirit and pay attention to growing it in your life.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Isaiah 66:1-24 Philippians 3:4-21
HYMN 44
DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS

In Thy Precious, Holy Word
2. Deeper, Deeper! Blessed Holy Spirit,
Take Me Deeper Still,

And His Perfect Will. [Refrain]
3. Deeper, Deeper! Tho’ It Cost Hard Trials,
Deeper Let Me Go!
Rooted In The Holy Love Of Jesus,
Let Me Fruitful Grow. [Refrain]
4. Deeper, Higher, Ev’ry Day In Jesus,
Till All Conflict Past,
Finds Me Conqu’ror, And In His Own Image
Perfected At Last. [Refrain]
