Open Heaven For Teens 28 March 2023 – Sanctification

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Open Heaven for Teens 28 March 2023 Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye

TOPIC: Sanctification

MEMORISE: Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 20:7

READING: Leviticus 11:44

[44]For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Many people get frightened when they hear about sanctification. They think sanctification is walking about with a mournful look. On the contrary, sanctification means to be set aside for God’s use. To be set aside means you will no longer sin because sin is of the devil.

All born-again Christians are children of God; we are all brides of Christ. However, according to the memory verse, among the lot, He has favourites; that is what being sanctified makes you.

Sanctification has many benefits: it will give you special attention, love, and protection from God. You will become free from evil and you will be the envy of people. Also, it will make you an advocate for others like Samuel, Moses, et cetera. All you have to do is to be absolutely holy, feed on God’s word, and represent God in all you do.

ACTION POINT: Do you want to be a favourite of God? Be sanctified.

HYMN 7 – JUST AS I AM, WITHOUT ONE PLEA

1. Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

2. Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

3. Just as I am though tossed about,
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fighting’s and fears within, without,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

4. Just as I am poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

5. Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

6. Just as I am Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.

7. Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth and
height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
