TOPIC: Attend To Your Foundation (Open Heaven for Teens 16 September 2024)
MEMORISE: If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3
READ: Isaiah 49:24-26
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

MESSAGE:
As beautiful as cultures and traditions are, they can limit a fellow’s destiny. From the 17th century up until the 19th century, when any woman gave birth to twins in a particular region of Nigeria, the children would be thrown into the river because the superstitious belief was that they were abnormal. If the children survived being drowned after some hours, the indigenes would believe that they were good and should be spared. Thankfully, a Christian missionary called Mary Slessor ended that barbaric tradition; today, many twins are achieving great things in their generation. Long ago, in my family, I discovered that women used to die within the first few days of putting to bed, especially when they ate any meal prepared with oil or salt. I was told that it was as a result of a curse.
So, I dug deeper into my family history, made the necessary restitution, and cancelled the curse during a fasting and prayer session. Today, my lineage is free of that curse. Beloved, I encourage you to ask questions about your family’s culture and traditions today because of your future.
KEY POINT
Know the existing traditions in your family to avoid future limitations.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Isaiah 22:1-24:23; Galatians 2:17-3:9
HYMN 40: CHRIST IS OUR CORNER-STONE
Christ Is Our Corner-Stone;
On Him Alone We Build;
With His True Saints Alone
The Courts Of Heaven Are Filled;
On His Great Love
Our Hopes We Place
Of Present Grace,
And Joys Above.
Oh, Then, With Hymns Of Praise
These Hallow’d Courts Shall Ring:
Our Voices We Will Raise,
The Three In One To Sin;
And Thus Proclaim
In Joyful Song,
Both Loud And Long,
That Glorious Name.
Here, Gracious God, Do Thou
For Evermore Draw Nigh;
Accept Each Faithful Vow,
And Mark Each Suppliant Sigh;
In Copious Shower
On All Who Pray,
Each Holy Day,
Thy Blessings Pour.
Here May We Gain From Heaven
The Grace Which We Implore,
And May That Grace, Once Given
Be With Us Evermore;
Until That Day,
When All The Blest,
To Endless Rest
Are Called Away.
