Open Heaven for Teens Friday 2 April 2021 Devotional MESSAGE:
Our Lord Jesus Christ left His glory above and came to the world in the form of man. He lived amongst men, ate like man, worked like man, slept like man et cetera. When He turned thirty, He went about doing good but at last, the time came for Him to fulfil the main purpose for which He came to the world to die so that we can be redeemed. Oh! How He suffered! He was beaten, spat on, despised and crucified amongst thieves at Calvary. This makes one wonder, what would make a Being go through so much for humans who can be ungrateful at times? Nothing but love. Love motivated Jesus to come to the world; love made Him endure the pain at the cross. Love!
The elders say, no matter how terrible the situation may be, there is always someone to stand by one. For mankind, for you, that fellow is Jesus. If He could endure the pain at the cross, He will not leave you now. There is no friend like Jesus. If all the people around, including your parents walk out on you, Jesus will not. He is the best friend you can ever have. If He is not yet your friend, why not make Him your best friend today?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 8-9, Luke 8:23-56
HYMN 13: I’ve Found A Friend In Jesus
- I’ve found a friend in Jesus,
He’s everything to me.
He’s the fairest
of ten thousand to my soul;
The lily of the Valley,
in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse
and make me fully whole.
In sorrow He’s my comfort,
in trouble He’s my stay,
He tells me every care
on Him to roll: (Hallelujah!)
Chorus:
He’s the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star,
He’s the Fairest of ten thousand
to my soul.
- He all my griefs has taken,
and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong
and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken,
and all my Idols torn,
From my heart, and now
He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me,
and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely
reach the goal, (Hallelujah!) - He’ll never, never leave me,
nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith,
and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me,
I’ve nothing now to fear;
With His manna,
He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory,
to see His blessed face,
Where rivers of delight
shall ever roll (Hallelujah!).
