Open Heavens For Teens Friday 30th August 2024 – Trick Of The Devil (1)

The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Friday 30th August 2024 Is “Trick Of The Devil (1)”

Read: Luke 4:5-8

5. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Memorise: Proverbs 23:3

Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

A trick is a cunning act or scheme that is intended to deceive or outwit a fellow. The devil has several tricks that he uses to trap his victims. One is through inordinate desires. This tactic comes in the form of a sugar-coated and generous offer, such as a gift or a promise of greatness. The packaging of such an offer is usually so attractive and glamorous, but inside the offer lies destruction.

The devil tried to play this trick on Jesus Christ in today’s Bible reading, but He did not fall for it. For some reason, this trick is especially more potent and effective in this generation. We are in a world where instant riches, exhibition of immorality, and riotous living have become the order of the day. Today, ill-gotten fame and wealth are celebrated on social media, even among some Christians. Consequently, the enemy is using these weapons of deception to entice vulnerable individuals into evil deeds.

Is anyone promising you something glamorous in exchange for nothing? Ensure that you do not fall for it. The devil doesn’t give anything for free; there is always something that he wants to take from you. If he offers you success, he might take your life in return. If he cures you of a headache, he might take your head in return. Reject any offer from the devil.

KEY POINT
Glamorous offers might be tricks from the devil; don’t fall for them.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Job 34:1-36:33; 2 Corinthians 4:1-12

HYMN 41, JESUS, MY LORD, MY GOD, MY ALL
1. Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All,
Hear Me, Blest Saviour, When I Call;
Hear Me, And From Thy Dwelling Place
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]

4. Jesus, Of Thee Shall Be My Song,
To Thee My Heart And Soul Belong;
All That I Have Or Am Is Thine,
And Thou, Blest Saviour, Thou Art Mine. [Refrain]
