Open Heaven For Teens 8th July 2025 Daily Devotional Message By Pastor E.A Adeboye And Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye
TOPIC: END IT NOW (1)
MEMORISE
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Proverbs 1:10
READ: Genesis 39:6-10
6 And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8 But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
One of my daughters told her fellow teenagers in a teenager’s church one Sunday, “When God promised to send you destiny helpers, He did not mean sugar daddies or mummies.”
Sadly, some girls and boys now consider dating a successful married man or woman as a way out of poverty. My dear child, I want you to know that the free will God gave to man may sometimes be used as a trap by the enemy to lead a fellow into bondage and eternal destruction. If you are dating a married man or woman, I plead with you in the name of Jesus to end it now because failure to do so will only lead to your destruction.
We often tell the teenage girls in our rehabilitation centres that the spiritual consequences of premarital sex far outweigh the brief pleasure. Joseph could have seen Potiphar’s wife as his ticket to freedom and prosperity, but he considered premarital sex as a great wickedness and sin against God.
Beloved, no wicked person or sinner will make it to heaven. If you are struggling with sexual lust, please run to Jesus today, and ask Him to help you to overcome it. Also, if you are engaging in premarital sex or dating a married person, put an end to it now!
KEY POINT
Premarital sex is a great sin and wickedness to God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
1 Chronicles 5:18-6:81 Acts 26:1-32
HYMN 44
DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS
1 Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
daily let me go;
higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
more of grace to know.
Refrain:
O deeper yet, I pray,
and higher ev’ry day,
and wiser, blessed Lord,
in Thy precious, holy Word.
2 Deeper, deeper! Blessed Holy Spirit,
take me deeper still,
till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,
and His perfect will. [Refrain]
3 Deeper, deeper! Though it cost hard trials,
deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
let me fruitful grow. [Refrain]
4 Deeper, higher, ev’ry day in Jesus,
till all conflict past
finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image
Perfected at last. [Refrain]
