Open Heaven For Teens 5 September 2021 Devotional Guide By Pastor E A Adeboye
Topic: The Blessings Of A Father
Read: Genesis 27:27-29
- And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
-
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
-
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
Memorise
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
Deuteronomy 28:3
Open Heaven For Teens 5 September 2021 Message
Some blessings will not come to a child of God unless he or she provokes it. In our Bible reading for today, Isaac in his old age asked his son to go to the field, kill an animal and prepare a delicious meal for him to eat so that he would bless him.
Ordinarily, the father should have just called on his children and pronounced blessings upon them but he wanted them to bring something as a point of contact for the blessing. The child too should have just said, father, bless me now, do you need to eat my soup before you bless me? However, he obeyed promptly because he too understood the importance of doing something special to get a special kind of blessing.
My child, there are some blessings you need to provoke from your parents because they will take you far in life. This season, go the extra mile. Give them gifts no matter how small, call to check up on them from time to time whenever youre away from home. When you are at home, run errands for them. Just make sure you get their blessings.
Key Point
Do something thoughtful for your father this weekend.

Hymns
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING
- There shall be showers of
blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be
seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
CHORUS
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
- There shall be showers of
blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. -
There shall be showers of
blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honour Thy
Word. -
There shall be showers of
blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God
we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! -
There shall be showers
of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be
seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.
