Open Heaven For Teens 29 May 2022 MESSAGE
One of the challenges of 21st century children (millennials) is covetousness. They want to acquire what others have for prestige or to fuel their lust for comparison. This has been heightened by social media, where
people put up appearances, living fake lives and engaging in the unhealthy competition of social presentation.
Wanting what others have is not bad but being desperate to have it is covetousness. Some would even go as far as getting involved in crimes just to have what others do. This is not good. However, the Bible encourages us to covet only spiritual gifts.
This means if your friend has the ability to raise the dead, heal the sick, prophecy et cetera, you are permitted to pray persistently that God should also endow you with these gifts so that you too can edify the Body of Christ. Unfortunately, children of God covet worldly possessions.
How far have you been dragged into this unhealthy competition? Dont throw away your
salvation, peace and joy for the vanity of this world. Retrace your steps today in prayer.
Action Point
Covet spiritual gifts and not worldly possessions.
Bible in One Year
John 11:18-57 , 1 Chronicles 26:1-32 , 1 Chronicles 27:1-34
