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 Friday 5 Th May 2023 Is “It Is Not a Virtue!”
Read: 1 CHRONICLES 4:9-10
[9]And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
[10]And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Memorise: 2 Corinthians 8:9
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Anything that is not a virtue is evil and unacceptable. Poverty falls into this category because it is the root of many iniquities and every child of God must pray against it. Jabez is an example of someone who did not see poverty as a virtue but rather as a vice, so he prayed it out of his life. He asked God to enlarge his coast so he could be kept from the evil that comes with poverty.
The power to make wealth lies with God, and His word says He will not withhold any good thing from His children. Thus, if your family is poor, you need to cry to Him for deliverance today and for power to make wealth. Today’s memory verse tells us that Jesus became poor so that we can be rich, therefore, living in poverty belittles the price that Jesus paid and is a waste of God’s grace.
Beloved, I have tasted both poverty and a little of God’s blessing, and I can tell you that the difference is clear. I concluded in my spirit that poverty is not a virtue but a vice that must not be found in the life of a believer.

HYMN 17 – THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS
1. “There shall be showers of blessing”
This is the promise of love;
There shall be season refreshing
Send from a savior above
Chorus:
Showers of blessing
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead.
2. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys;
Sound of abundance of rain.
3. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Send them upon us Oh Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come now and honour Thy Word.
4. “There shall be showers of blessing”
Oh, that today thy might fall,
Now as to God we are Confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
5. “There shall be showers of blessing”
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be season refreshing,
If we let God have his way.
