TOPIC: Where Are You? (Open Heaven for Teens 8 August 2024)

MEMORISE: And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? Genesis 3:9

READ: Genesis 3:4-9

4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

MESSAGE:

Humility refers to being free from pride or arrogance. Proverbs 3:34 says that God’s grace will be extended to those who are humble before Him. In other words, God gives the humble the ability to achieve great feats. James 4:6 also says that God resists the proud. Have you ever read the story of the Pharaoh who refused to allow the Israelites to leave Egypt? If you have, you will know that it is a terrible thing to be resisted by God. Such a fellow can never prosper, and I’m sure that you want to prosper. In the name that is above every other name, you will prosper.

Beloved, the more humble you are, the more you will rise. You will become God’s favourite when you humble yourself and fear Him enough to obey all that He says. Once you have the fear of God in you, He will bless you with all that you need to get to the top. Arrogance brings destruction, and it is an attribute of the devil. By the mercies of God, you will not be destroyed, in Jesus’ name. However, you must be humble.

REFLECTION:
Can God give you a pat on the back for a job well done in your present responsibility?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Ezra 7:1-8:20; 1 Corinthians 4:1-21

HYMN 56: 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,
   Nearer, My God, To Thee,
   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,
   Nearer, My God, To Thee,
   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,
   Nearer To Thee!
4. Then With My Waking Thoughts
   Bright With Thy Praise,
   Out Of My Stony Griefs
   Bethel I’ll Raise;
   So By My Woes To Be
   Nearer, My God, To Thee,
   Nearer To Thee!
5. Or If On Joyful Wing
   Cleaving The Sky,
   Sun, Moon, And Stars Forgot,
   Upward I Fly,
   Still All My Song Shall Be,
   Nearer, My God, To Thee;
   Nearer To Thee!
