The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Thursday 21 St December 2023 Is “You Are Watched”
Read:HEBREWS 12:1-3
[1]Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
[2]Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
[3]For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Memorise: Hebrews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of weaknesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
Every Christian is called to run a race that is personal, therefore, no one will help you run your race.
Our memory verse for today makes it clear that we are surrounded by witnesses, which comprise of saints who achieved great feats on earth for God: they are watching all our moves.
Some of them were mentioned in Hebrews 11. Therefore, the truth is that how you run your race matters because someday, you will be a reference point.
I planned to visit our Church in Philadelphia some years ago. The pastor-in-charge, who was very excited, broke the news to her family immediately she got home.
Her younger son asked if I would come to their house, and she replied with a ‘yes’. Then he said, “I am in trouble; the moment Pastor Adeboye enters this house, he would know every bad thing I have done.”
The boy had forgotten that God was in that house. God is everywhere, and He sees everything.
So, my child, run your race with this mentality because God and a cloud of witnesses are watching you even when there is no one around.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 DECEMBER 2023 KEY POINT
In your ‘private moment’. you are watched by angels, a cloud of witnesses, demons, and the Trinity. Invariably, you don’t have any private moment.
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 21 DECEMBER 2023 HYMN
HYMN 15 – ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
1. Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go.
CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before.
2. At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth Ilee;
On then, Christian soldiers
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
4. Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise-
And that cannot fail.
5. Onward then, ye people,
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
“Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King”,
This, through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
