Open Heavens For Teens Sunday 8th December 2024 – Tempting Self

The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Sunday 8th December 2024 Is “Tempting Self ”

Read: 1 Samuel 15:16-19 

16. Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
17. And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
18. And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
19. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?

Memorise: James 1:14

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10:12, “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” Today, many children of God take this Scripture for granted. They act as though they are formidable, and rather than steer clear from sin and objects of temptation, they say, “God’s grace is sufficient for me.” Yes, God’s grace is sufficient for us all, but when it comes to sin, the Bible says that we should flee all appearances of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). Some opportunities or positions are ‘appearances of evil’; thus, if you are unsure of whether a position or opportunity would lead to temptation, turn it down.

Learn from Judas Iscariot; despite having a weakness with money, he became a treasurer. The position aroused his greed, and this made it easy for him to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Identify your weaknesses, work on them, and trust God to turn them into strengths. If you know that your weakness is money, don’t join the ushering department or take up a position as a treasurer. If you are dealing with lust, avoid regular contact with the opposite gender; your prayer partner or best friend should not be someone of the opposite sex. If you keep exposing yourself to your weaknesses, you are only tempting yourself.

KEY POINT:
Know your weaknesses and avoid things that would make you fall into sin.

Pour Down The Riches Of Thy Grace;

Refrain:
Jesus, My Lord, I Thee Adore;
Oh Make Me Love Thee More And More.

2. Jesus, Too Late I Thee Have Sought;
How Can I Love Thee As I Ought?
And How Extol Thy Matchless Fame,
The Glorious Beauty Of Thy Name? [Refrain]

3. Jesus, What Didst Thou Find In Me,
That Thou Hast Dealt So Lovingly?
How Great The Joy That Thou Hast Brought
So Far Exceeding Hope Or Thought! [Refrain]

All That I Have Or Am Is Thine,
And Thou, Blest Saviour, Thou Art Mine. [Refrain]
