Open Heaven For Teens 29 March 2024: Miracle Of A Seed 3
TOPIC: Miracle Of A Seed (3) [Open Heaven for Teens 29 March 2024]
MEMORISE: Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
READ: John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
TEENS DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR TODAY:
When God gave His only begotten son to die for the sins of the world, it must have caused an uproar in Heaven because no father can give up his son and not be sad about it. No wonder Matthew 27:46 says: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
However, God reaped a lot of children by sowing the seed of one child. The basis of His sacrifice is love. Today, we think about what God did over 2023 years ago, and we appreciate Him for His benevolence.
If you say you truly love God, then nothing should be too big to give to Him. Cultivate the habit of giving quality gifts to God now that you are still young. When your gifts, tithes, offerings, time, resources, energy, et cetera, are triggered by love, God will respond by blessing you in a big way.
KEY POINT
The size of the gift to God is not as important as the thoughtfulness and the willingness to give.
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.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 11:1-12:32 Luke 8:22-39
