OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 30 APRIL 2023 MESSAGE

Is it possible for a blessing from God to turn into a curse? Yes. This can happen when a fellow thinks that they are so blessed that they forget that God was the one who blessed them in the first place, just like the children of Israel in today’s Bible reading. If you accept the praises of men for a job well done and do hot acknowledge God, then you have forgotten the source of your success.

God did not make you a straight-A’s student for you to think you earned it yourself: it is for God Himself to be glorified. Prove to God that you have not forgotten Him by putting Him first in all that you do and acknowledging that you didn’t come this far by your strength. Doing this will help you provoke more blessings from Him.

Beloved, always remember in your words and actions that it is by the mercies of God that you have all that is in your care now and that you are victorious in all you do. Don’t ever praise yourself or boast about your achievements on social media. When you do that, you are taking God’s glory, and He will not hesitate to bring you down.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 30 APRIL 2023 HYMN

HYMN 11 – O LORD MY GOD! WHEN AM IN AWESOME WONDER

1. O lord my God!

When am in awesome wonder,

consider all

The worlds thy hands hath made

I see the stars,

I heard the rolling thunder

Thy pow’r thro’ out

The universe displayed

2. And when I think

That God, His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die

I scare can take it in;

That on the cross,

My burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died

To take away my sin.

3. Then through the woods

And forest glads I wander,

And hear the birds

Sing sweetly in the tress;

When I look down

From lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook

And feel the gentle breeze;

4. When Christ shall come

With shout of acclamation

And take me home,

What joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow

In humble adoration

And there proclaim,

My God how great Thou art!
