Click HERE for the Previous Open Heaven Devotional for Teens

TOPIC: Work O’clock (Open Heaven for Teens, 2 December 2025)

MEMORISE: Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Romans 12:11

BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 12:1

  1. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

MESSAGE:

Whenever I see young people use their skills in various departments in the church, I am always happy. This is because it puts them in an environment where they can be properly guided, mentored, and trained. It also serves as a platform where they can discover their purpose in life. I usually admire youth and wish I were younger so that I can achieve more for God.

As a teenager, use the strength you have now to work hard so that you can become great in life. I once told the first graduating set of Redeemer’s University students that everyone has a pillow of suffering assigned to him or her, but their attitude to their academics would determine whether they would burn their pillows in their youth so that they can enjoy life in their old age.

It is sad that many young people live carelessly and waste their time on frivolous activities. The implication of this is that their pillows of suffering are waiting for them in old age. My dear child, do not laze around; rather, work with your brain and your hands now. Step out of your comfort zone and work hard so that in your old age, you will reap and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

KEY POINT:
Work hard now so you can enjoy later.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Daniel 9:1-11:1, 1 John 2:18-3:6

HYMN 44 – DEEPER, DEEPER IN THE LOVE OF JESUS

1 Deeper, Deeper In The Love Of Jesus
Daily Let Me Go;
Higher, Higher In The School Of Wisdom,
More Of Grace To Know.

Refrain:
Oh, Deeper Yet, I Pray,
And Higher Evry Day,
And Wiser, Blessed, Lord,
In Thy Precious, Holy Word

2 Deeper, Deeper! Blessed Holy Spirit,
Take Me Deeper Still,
Till My Life Is Wholly Lost In Jesus,
And His Perfect Will.
[Refrain]

3 Deeper, Deeper! Tho’ lt Cost Hard Trials,
Deeper Let Me Go!
Rooted In The Holy Love Of Jesus,
Let Me Fruitful Grow.
[Refrain]

4 Deeper, Higher, Ev’ry Day In Jesus,
Till All Conflict Past,
Finds Me Conqu’ror, And In His Own Image
Perfected At Last.
[Refrain]
