TOPIC – Joy Jars (Open Heaven for Teens, 19 October 2026)
MEMORISE: Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. – Philippians 4:4
BIBLE READING: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
MESSAGE:
Life’s challenges can blur a person’s sense of reasoning. This is why you need to cultivate a habit of gratitude, as it will help you to focus on God’s goodness at all times.
I want to introduce the idea of creating a Joy Jar to document all of God’s faithfulness to you. A joy jar involves writing blessings, answered prayers, and happy moments on slips of paper and putting them in a jar. I have a joy jar, and the Holy Spirit constantly fills it because I keep choosing to count my blessings, even in the midst of unpleasant situations. When tough times come, you can revisit the notes you have placed in your joy jar to remind yourself of the victories and blessings that God has given to you. This would help you to have a positive perspective, which will, in turn, strengthen your faith. When you do this often, you will notice that your contentment will grow, and you will learn to trust God’s plan, even when life feels uncertain.
My dear child, focus on God’s blessings daily and transform unpleasant moments into opportunities for praise.
ACTION POINT:
Create a joy jar today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Luke 2:25-52, Joshua 7-8
HYMN 4 – Be Glad In The Lord And Rejoice
1 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
All ye that are upright in heart;
And ye that have made him your choice,
Bid sadness and sorrow depart.
Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice!
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!
2 Be joyful, for He is the Lord,
On earth and in heaven supreme;
He fashions and rules by His word;
The Mighty and strong to redeem
3 What though in the conffict for right
Your enemies almost prevail,
God’s armies, just hid from your sight,
Are more than the foes which assail.
4 Though darkness surround you by day,
Your sky by the night be o’ercast,
Let nothing your spirit dismay,
But trust till the danger is past.
5 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
His praises proclaiming in song;
With harp, and with organ and voice
The loud hallelujahs prolong!
