[7]Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

[9]And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE – MARCH 28, 2024
As a farmer, I understand that a seed has the potential to become a forest when sown in the right soil that has a corresponding climate that can enable it grow. When a farmer plants a kernel of corn, that one kernel has the capacity to produce a stalk with several ears that contains many kernels of corn. What a multiplying effect!
Similarly, all humans will reap what they sow, and in most cases, you will reap more than you are sowing right now. Many young people practice rebellion against their parents and engage in sinful acts willingly with the intention to ask God for forgiveness later, forgetting the warning in Ecclesiastes 12:10: *”Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not….”*
Dear child, there are evil days ahead of everyone who does evil in their young age. There are consequences for all evil and foolish actions because you cannot mock the justice of God. Check through your life and see if there is anything you must stop now. Ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen your conviction and help you turn a new leaf.
ACTION POINT
No one disobeys God’s commands and escapes divine punishment.
HYMN 18 – TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
1 ‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
CHORUS
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3 Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
4 I’m so glad Learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
