The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Saturday 30th August 2025 Is “Your Friends Matter ”
MEMORISE: 1 Corinthians 15:33
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
BIBLE READING: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
An adage says, “Show me your friend, and I will tell you who you are.” This is true because, no matter who you claim to be, the friends you keep say a lot about your personality.
Many years ago, I and my best friend at the time were notorious among our school mates for living an unhealthy lifestyle. While I was nicknamed ‘Adesco’, he was nicknamed ‘Emmanuello Morgana’. We were sinners, and we drank alcohol excessively, had many girlfriends, went clubbing regularly, and generally made a mess of our lives until Jesus had mercy on us.
Truly, there is no enjoyment in the world other than in Jesus because I could easily have contracted incurable sexually transmitted diseases or had liver problems due to excessive drinking. However, God decided to show me mercy.
The moment I gave my life to Christ, my friends knew. They initially thought I was pretending until they came to my house one day and asked to be served the usual alcoholic drinks, but I only served them soft drinks. Gradually, they stopped being my friends when they realised that our lifestyles no longer aligned. Thankfully, I made friends with some godly people thereafter. My dear child, do not be deceived; your lifestyle and those of your friends must also reflect that you are a child of God.
KEY POINT:
The friends you keep are a reflection of who you are.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Job 34:1-36:33 2 Corinthians 4:1-12
HYMN 27 – 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
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O 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 sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, 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
