Open Heaven For Teens 3rd August 2024 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: Jehovah SHAMMAH
MEMORISE: …for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews13:5
READ: Ezekiel 48:35
35. It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
MESSAGE:
God created the garden of Eden, where He established a fellowship with Adam and Eve (Genesis 2). Man was constantly in touch with God, and he had nothing to worry about because of the manifest presence of God. However, when sin entered, it caused a separation. Thankfully, the birth of Jesus has reconciled us back to God.
As we reflect on His name, Jehovah Shammah, I have realized that God never wants to be the God ‘over there’; rather, he wants to be the God ‘here’. He is not distant, removed, or withdrawn; He is personal and intimate. He desires a cordial relationship with every one of us and wants us to know His presence for eternity. No wonder He said in …………..… Isaiah 1:18:
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
My dear child, no matter what happens, be confident that Jehovah Shammah is always here, there, and everywhere with you. You can trust that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
ACTION POINT: Take a moment to reflect on how God has been there for you.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
2 Chronicles 33:14-34:33; Romans 16:10-27
HYMN 46: O LORD MY GOD WHEN I’M IN AWESOME WONDER
1. O Lord My God,
When I In Awesome Wonder,
Consider All The Worlds Thy Hands Hath Made
I See The Stars,
I Hear The Rolling Thunder,
Thy Pow’r Thro’out
The Universe Displayed:
Refrain:
Then Sings My Soul,
My Saviour God To Thee;
How Great Thou Art!
How Great Thou Art!
Then Sings My Soul,
My Saviour God To Thee;
How Great Thou Art!
How Great Thou Art!
2. When Through The Woods
And Forest Glades I Wander,
And Hear The Birds
Sing Sweetly In The Trees;
When I Look Down
From Lofty Mountain Grandeur
And Hear The Brook
And Feel The Gentle Breeze;
3. And When I Think
That God, His Son Not Sparing
Sent Him To Die,
I Scarce Can Take It In;
That On The Cross,
My Burdens Gladly Bearing,
He Bled And Died
To Take Away My Sin
4. When Christ Shall Come
With Shouts Of Acclamation,
And Take Me Home,
What Joy Will Fill My Heart!
Then I Will Bow
In Humble Adoration,
And There Proclaim,
My God, How Great Thou Art!
