The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Tuesday 30th July 2024 Is “Your Name Matters”
MEMORISE: Matthew 1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
READ: Genesis 32:24-28
24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Your name is a maker, it reflects your talent or your identity, that is, who you are and where you belong. Your name is significant, and you will carry it with you throughout your lifetime.
Do you know that the name you were given by your parents or the one you have taken on yourself is capable of shaping your destiny? I have discovered that some names can limit those that bear them. For example, in the Bible, Jacob means ‘supplanter’ – a person who cheats, and this played out in his life. Likewise, Jabez means sorrow, and until he cried to God, his life was sorrowful.
Your name is very important. This is the reason you should ask for the meaning of your name, so that if the meaning is not good, you can, with the permission of your parents, choose a new one that will align you with a glorious destiny. Likewise, the nicknames or pet names you answer to matter a lot. Don’t allow your friends to call you bad names like killer, scorpion, bad guy, et cetera.
After I gave my life to Christ and got baptised by immersion, I became particular about the names people call me. My friends used to call me ‘Adesco’. However, I insisted on being called ‘Enoch’ after my conversion.
KEY POINT: The name you are called and what you answer to can influence your destiny.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 26:1-28:27 Romans 13:1-14
HYMN 7: I Am Thine O Lord.
1. I am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3. Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
4. There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
