TEENS OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY.
Open Heavens for Teens daily devotional by Pastor Adeboye is here. The RCCG Open Heavens For Teen is published to transform & connect teens to Christ. Read and share with someone.
The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for 25th December 2022 Is “CELEBRATE GOD’S LOVE”
Read: MATTHEW 1:20-21
20. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Memorise: Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Imagine a birthday where there’s a lot to drink and eat, good music, big cake and lots of fun but the celebrant is absent and not known by anyone. This is exactly what happens in some homes every Christmas. Maybe you too have prepared a lot of food and drinks for todays occasion; you may even have new clothes to wear, but you don’t have Jesus in your life.
NEW YEAR PRAYER POINTS JANUARY 2023
My dear, you are only celebrating in vain because Jesus is the reason for Christmas. Our Bible text for today explains the purpose for Christmas which is that Jesus the Saviour was born to save the world from destruction. This is why I find it fulfilling to go on evangelism on Christmas day so that I can tell others about the love of God because if Jesus hadn’t been born, there would be no point for our celebration anyway.
Therefore, I charge you today that, in the midst of your eating and drinking, place priority on telling others about Jesus. You can write short messages on Christmas cards and add them to gift packs or hampers, send text messages or post on social media about the love of Christ. However, if you are yet to accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, don’t savour that chicken before you do. Merry Christmas!
HAPPY NEW YEAR WISHES AND TEXT MESSAGES FOR 2023
ACTION POINT
Jesus Christ is the reason for the season!
HYMN
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Ev’rything to God in prayer
Oh! what peace we often forfeit,
Oh! what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrow share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
SCRIPTURES FOR THE NEW YEAR 2023
3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
