TOPIC: El-Elyon (Open Heaven for Teens 6 August 2024)
MEMORISE: For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth Psalm 47:2
READ: Psalms 91:1-2
- He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
- I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
MESSAGE:
Our God is the most high, the Creator and Ruler of all. The name El-Elyon means that God is the only true, powerful God. To the children of Israel, He showed his powerful act when He parted the Red Sea, and for the disciples, He calmed the storm. These, among many miracles, make me adore and revere God. Therefore, when I think of Him as El-Elyon, my heart leaps for joy because He already promised, in today’s Bible reading, that there is safety under His shadow. This is why I am assured that no evil can come near me.

As El-Elyon, God cannot stand being compared with other ‘gods’. He is so jealous that when He is your God, nothing and no one should compete with Him in your life. Therefore, you must be careful not to erect idols in your heart or around you so as not to infuriate Him. He must be the God Most High over everything: your academics, career, finance, job, family, et cetera. I implore you to ask God to search your heart like David prayed in Psalm 139:23-24. Ask Him to remove all idols in your life for Him to be your El-Elyon.
KEY POINT
God is the Most High.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezra 3:1-4:23; 1 Corinthians 2:6-3:4
HYMN 47, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty
- Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God Almighty!
Early In The Morning
Our Song Shall Rise To Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful And Mighty!
God In Three Persons,
Blessed Trinity! - Holy, Holy, Holy,
All The Saints Adore Thee,
Casting Down Their Golden Crowns
Around The Glassy Sea;
Cherubim And Seraphim
Falling Down Before Thee,
Which Wert And Art
And Evermore Shalt Be. - Holy, Holy, Holy,
Though The Darkness Hide Thee,
Though The Eye Of Sinful Man
Thy Glory May Not See,
Only Thou Art Holy;
There Is None Beside Thee,
Perfect In Power, In Love,
And Purity. - Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord God Almighty!
All Thy Works Shall Praise
Thy Name, In Earth And Sky, And Sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful And Mighty!
God In Three Persons,
Blessed Trinity.
