TOPIC: The Word And Your Spirit (Open Heaven for Teens 2 October 2024)
MEMORISE: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. – 2 Corinthians 3:3
READ: 2 Corinthians 3:2-4
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
MESSAGE:
When a fellow receives Jesus into his or her life, the Holy Spirit comes in to do a work of regeneration. He takes away the carnal nature and replaces it with Himself. However, it will take the effort of the new convert to grow by studying God’s word. This will help to refine his or her character completely. Many people think that growing in the spirit is a walk in the park, but it is not so. Romans 12:2 says: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Beloved, you must put in the work to ensure that your mind is renewed daily by the kind of things that you read, watch, and hear so that the right things will filter into your spirit. Whatever goes inside you will definitely influence who you will become. This is the reason you should not joke with studying and meditating on God’s word. In fact, I tell my children, “No Bible, no breakfast,” because when you eat the word of God, your spirit will grow.
ACTION POINT
Never eat breakfast without studying your Bible.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Isaiah 66:1-24 Philippians 3:4-21
HYMN 58: My Hope Is Built On Nothing Else
1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to veils His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. [Refrain]
4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]
