Open Heaven For Teens 5 November 2021 Message

Today’s Bible reading expatiates Abraham’s story. Though he was childless for many years, God renamed him a father of many nations. This revelation gave Abraham a new mind-set that eventually birthed his miracle. It is not what people call you that matters but what you answer to. The Bible says that God calls those things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17). He sees glory in every situation irrespective of your reality. The next time someone insults your looks, don’t be sad, rename the situation. Just tell them, you’re the apple of God’s eye.

The name a thing or event is called is important not only to men but also to God. God was keen on what Adam would call each animal because it would provide a means of identification, distinct destiny as well as chart for them a mode of conduct or behavioural pattern. So, if you fail an exam, don’t call yourself a failure. Rather, say, I just discovered that I have to put in extra efforts in order to succeed.

This attitude will gear you towards doing better and not getting depressed. As you grow in your relationship with God, you can speak forth changes in your life and situations and see them come to pass.

HYMN: Higher Ground

1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
   New heights I’m gaining every day;
   Still praying as I onward bound,
   “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground”.

CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith on heaven’s table-land;
Where love and joy and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

1. My heart has no desire to stay,
   Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
   Though some may dwell where these abound,
   My constant aim is higher ground.

2. Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
   To rest beneath unclouded skies,
   Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
   By those who dwell on higher ground.

3. I long to scale the utmost height,
   Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
   My song while climbing shall resound
   Lord lead me on to higher ground.

4. Lord lead me up the mountain side,
   I dare not climb without my Guide;
   And heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
   With grateful heart from higher ground.
