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 THURSDAY 16TH NOVEMBER 2023 Is “Love Or Lust”
Read: Exodus 20:17
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s
Memorise: Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Lust is an emotion or a feeling of intense desire for something or someone. When a certain thing overwhelmingly entices you, then it is lust. If you covet something or someone, it is lust and not love.
Lust is not just looking at the opposite gender in a sinful manner, it is coveting what does not belong to you. On the other hand love is when you have compassion for others. It is what you do more than what you say or think; it is the love you have for God.
Lust can lead you into doing unimaginable evil to your neighbour. An example is David, who, because of lust, committed both adultery and murder.
James 1:15 also confirms that lust births sin. Love does not do all these, instead, it is kind, patient, slow to anger, not proud, not envious, et cetera (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). My beloved child, please love people genuinely like Jesus loved; only then will you please God.
KEY POINT
Lust harms, love heals.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 12-13
HYMN 3 – All To Jesus I Surrender
1 All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all.
I surrender all:
All to Thee, my blessed saviour
I surrender all
- All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow;
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus, take me now. - All to Jesus I surrender.
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. - All to Jesus I surrender,
Now I feel the sacred flame
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
