Open Heaven For Teens 8 October 2022 | Saturday Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye

TOPIC: Hear And Do

Read
James 1:21-25

1. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

2. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

3. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

4. For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

5. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Memorise
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22

Open Heaven For Teens 8 October 2022 Message

Bible Scholars have said that the book of James is a commentary of Jesus’ sermons on the mount. However, James goes further to state that being a Christian is more than just listening to sermons, it is acting on what one has heard. The easiest way to know that one understands an instruction is if he/she carries it out.

For instance, if your teacher asks you to stand, and you remain on your seat after some seconds, one could assume that you didnt understand the teachers instruction. This is also applicable to the gospel; you cannot read the word of God that says dont curse, lie or swear, yet do those things. The whole essence of listening to a sound and godly message or reading the Bible is to act on it.

Don’t be comfortable being just a Christian; do the word, live the word. When the word corrects you, accept it. Dont see Christianity as a religion, let it be your way of life. Allow the word to penetrate into your being because it will transform you into the perfect image and likeness of God as ordained by Him.

Action Point
Christianity is more than a religion, it is a way of life.
