Open Heaven For Teens 16 October 2024 | Test And Temptations
TOPIC: Test And Temptations (Open Heaven for Teens 16 October 2024)
MEMORISE: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. – Romans 6:14
READ: Daniel 3:16-18
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
MESSAGE:
Tests are designed by God to prove our faith in Him and love for Him, while temptations come from the devil and our flesh to draw us into sin. Your response to temptations will show whether you choose God above the devil or otherwise.

When Adam and Eve fell into temptation, they almost disrupted God’s plan for mankind. Also, when Gehazi fell, his whole lineage inherited leprosy. However, when Jesus overcame temptations, it marked the beginning of redemption for the human race. Tests are not punishments but stepping stones to promotion, allowing God to know your commitment to Him, strength for His work, and appetite for worldly things.
God has promised that He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can handle; this means that you are still the major determinant of your victory. Some Christians willingly fall into temptations because they have been nursing sinful thoughts in their hearts. Beloved, you have the power to overcome your tests and temptations. Ask God to fortify your mind and strengthen your convictions.
CONFESSION
I have the mind of Christ; I will pass my tests and overcome temptations.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
JEREMIAH 28:1-29:32, 1 TIMOTHY 1:1-20
HYMN 55: Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose
Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose;
Hear Thy Guardian Angel Say,
“Thou Art In The Midst Of Foes:
Watch And Pray!”
Principalities And Powers,
Mustering Their Unseen Array,
Wait For Thy Unguarded Hours:
“Watch And Pray.”
Gird Thy Heavenly Armour On;
Wear It Every Night And Day
Ambush’d Lies The Evil One:
“Watch And Pray.”
Hear The Victors Who O’ercame;
Still They Mark Each Warrior’s Way;
All With One Sweet Voice Exclaim,
“Watch And Pray!”
Hear, Above All, Hear Thy Lord,
Him Thou Lovest To Obey;
Hide Within Thy Heart His Word:
“Watch And Pra!.”
Watch, As If On That Alone
Hung The Issue Of The Day;
Pray, That Help May Be Sent Down:
Watch And Pray.
