OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL (FOR TEENS)
DATE: SUNDAY MARCH 22ND, 2020.
THEME: GOD DESERVES YOUR FULL ATTENTION
MEMORISE: Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Philippians 3:16
READ: Philippians 3:14-16
14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
MESSAGE:
When you go to Church and instead of listening to the message from the altar, you are busy browsing through social media, do you realise you are insulting God? Will you be in the presence of President of Nigeria and look into your phone? How much more the President of all presidents. Don't you think God deserves your full attention when you come to His presence.
You have every other day and time for your phone, at least when you are in Church, you should be focused on Jesus and Him alone. Focusing in your phone when you are in Church is literally replacing God with something or someone else. Exodus 34:14 says that our God is a jealous God and He does not like His children replacing Him with anything else. Being in Church and concentrating on your phone is like a hungry man going into a restaurant and concentrating on the television when a plate of food is placed before him. He will leave the restaurant hungry and begin to complain about being hungry. The solution to many of the problems you complain about has been served to you in the Church, but because you were on the phone, you left without getting it, so the problems still lingered. Turn a new leaf today.
KEY POINT:
God's time is God's time. Don't give it to social media or any other distractions.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Joshua 7-8 ; Luke 2:25-52
Hymn 3
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
4. But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
