Open Heaven For TEENS 13 March 2024 MESSAGE
The disciples, in today’s Bible reading, out of their zeal to protect Jesus from disturbance, tried chasing away the children who were brought to be touched, but Jesus asked that they be left alone. There is a song we always sing in the children’s church which shows that irrespective of skin colour, race, tribe, or language, every child is special to God:
*Jesus loves the little children*
*All the children of the world*
*Red, brown, yellow, black and white*
*They are precious in his sight*
*Jesus loves the little children of the world*
Dear child, you are a gift from the Lord to your parents. The Bible calls you ‘a crown to the aged’ (Proverbs 17:6); this means that when your parents are old, you will add beauty to their lives. There is nothing God cannot do for you because He loves you. Are you believing Him for healing, academic success, the salvation of a relative, deliverance from attacks, provisions, et cetera? Ask Jesus today and listen to what He will tell you.
KEY POINT:
As God’s child, you have direct access to Him any day.
HYMN 21: NEARER, MY GOD TO THEE
1. Nearer, my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee!
2. Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee
3. There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou send’st to me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee
4. Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony grief
Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God to thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee!
5. Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving thy sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly
Still all my songs shall be,
Nearer my God to thee,(2ce)
Nearer to Thee!
