OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 AUGUST 2022 MESSAGE
As long as one is still breathing, offences are bound to occur between him/her and others, but the Bible doesn’t encourage keeping records of these. The only record you are allowed to keep is like the one in Esther 6:1, which documented the good deed of Mordecai and made the King promote him.
As a child of God, you need to keep records of all good deeds done to you by people because this will help you think the best concerning them, especially when they do wrong.
Our Bible reading encourages that the thoughts and records you should keep about other people should be true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praise-worthy.
If someone offends you and different reasons to be bitter come to your mind, wait and ask yourself: “Has this person ever done any good thing to me or anyone around me before?” If the answer is ‘Yes’, then dwell on the good thoughts more, but if the answer is No, then just start worshipping God and ask for the grace to let go of the offence.
Gradually, you will begin to feel better and also forgive the offender. Your heart is so delicate that you need only good thoughts to preserve it. It was not designed to think evil (Proverbs 4:23).
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 AUGUST 2022 KEY POINT
Has anyone offended you? Tell the fellow and forgive him/her.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 8 AUGUST 2022 HYMN
O WORSHIP THE KING
1. O worship the King all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love:
our Shield and Defender, the
Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendour and girded
with praise.
2. O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
whose robe is the light, whose
canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep
thunderclouds form,
and dark is His path on the wings of
the storm.
3. Thy bountiful care, what tongue can
recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the
light;
It streams from the hills, it descends
to the plain,
and sweetly distils in the dew and
the rain.
4. Frail children of dust, and feeble as
frail,
in Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to
fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm
to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer,
and Friend!
5. O measureless Might, ineffable Love,
While angels delight to hymn Thee above!
The humbler creation, though
feeble their lays,
with true adoration shall lisp to Thy praise!
