The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Saturday 23rd November 2024 Is “Focus On Your Lane”
Read: 2 Timothy 3:1-5
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Memorise: Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Today’s Bible reading details the events that will happen in the last days, where people will be consumed by their own desires and will turn away from God. As a child of God, I enjoin you not to be swayed by the pleasures of the world.
It’s easy to get carried away by the pain or glories of our day-to-day living. However, Jesus has warned us ahead to ignore all distractions and focus on His return. Imagine that you and a few athletes are competing in a race; wisdom requires that you get on the track and focus on your lane. As you start the race, you are expected to gather momentum and stabilise your pace until you reach the finish line. This is exactly the same way you need to be focused on your walk with God so that you will be ready when Jesus returns. No one can predict when Jesus will return, but living a consistent life of obedience and devotion to Him will keep you prepared.
Beloved, be vigilant and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in all you do.
