[1]Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2]But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3]And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 APRIL 2024 MESSAGE
The words you hear have the capacity to draw you into a good and wise direction, or an evil direction. Words can either build or destroy a fellow. This is why you must be careful of who or what you listen to. If a fellow listens to godly parents or teachers who faithfully teach God’s word or give good counsel, their words will help direct him or her to always make the right decisions. However, if the reverse is the case, it will affect the fellow’s life negatively.
Today’s Bible reading warns believers from associating with unbelievers so that they will remain in Christ and be blessed. Satan uses associations with ungodly people to influence God’s children. When the children of God relate with such people, their minds will be influenced by ungodly words, music, jestings, and schemes. A believer cannot be in the company of friends who listen to ungodly, sexually-charged music all day and then wonder why he or she can’t control lust or lacks the desire to read the Bible.
My dear child, guard your ears by listening to sermons preached by godly preachers, hymns, and gospel music.
PRAYER POINT
What do you listen to? What did King Solomon ask God to give him?
HYMN 15 – CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMES NOW ARE WE
1 Conquerors and overcomes now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail,
Nothing ‘gainst His mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.
CHORUS
Conquerors are we, through the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory, through the blood of Jesus
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
2. In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be,
For Salvation and for blood bought victory.
3 Unto him that overcometh shall be given,
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n,
Over yonder he the victors palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.
