Open Heaven for Teens | Tuesday 18th January 2022 MESSAGE
I am sure by now you know the benefits of giving your time, talents, tithes and treasures to the Lord cheerfully. However, not many preachers talk about the condition of the giver. God is more interested in the motive of the giver than what he/she is giving.
If a fellow gives his/her time, money or services to God for the wrong reasons, He will not accept it, let alone reward such giving.
Like I always say, no matter how large an offering that comes from sin or ill-gotten wealth is. God won’t accept it He hates sin and anything given by a sinner.
Beloved, are you serving in your Church because you truly love God or want to socialize with people? Are you giving fat offering to make up for one sin or another? Are you giving to show off?.

Whenever you’re about to give to the Lord, ask yourself: “will my offering or sacrifice today be acceptable in God’s sight? If the answer is Yes”, then go ahead and give cheerfully but if the answer is “No”, repent and make the necessary restitution before offering that gift or service to God.
KEY POINT
To get the blessing attached to giving, do the right things before God.
Open Heaven for Teens | Tuesday 18th January 2022 HYMN
O WORSHIP THE KING ALL GLORIOUS ABOVE
- O worship the King
All-glorious above,
O gratefully sing
His power and His love:
Our shield and defender,
The Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise. -
O tell of His might
O sing of His grace,
whose robe is the light,
Whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath
The deep thunder-clouds form,
And dark is His path
On the wings of the storm. -
Thy bountiful care,
What tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air,
It shines in the light;
It streams from the hills,
It descends to the plain,
And sweetly distils
In the dew and the rain. -
Frail children of dust,
And feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust,
Nor find Thee to fail.
Thy mercies, how tender,
How firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender,
Redeemer, and Friend! -
O measureless Might,
ineffable Love!
While angels delight
To hymn Thee above,
The humbler creation,
Though feeble their lays,
With true adoration
Shall lisp to Thy praise.
