TOPIC: Thoughts [Open Heaven for Teens 10 December 2021]
MEMORISE: And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? Matthew 9:4
READ: 1 Corinthians 4:5
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hosea 5-8, Revelation 1:1-20
MESSAGE:
Many teenagers entertain evil and lustful thoughts continuously and they justify this by saying that their thoughts are not harmful to anyone since nobody can read their minds. Anyone who does this will be shocked on the day of judgement when all his/her thoughts will be exposed before everyone. At the judgment seat of Christ, after works have passed through fire and all words weighed, our thoughts will be subjected to divine scrutiny. On that day, everything you’ve ever thought of, as well as every plan you conceived in your heart whether executed or not will be played live.
Do you undress the opposite sex in your heart or wish a fellow evil, yet, you smile when you see him/her? Do you secretly nurse jealous thoughts towards an excelling classmate and wish that he/she becomes a failure? Do you pay your offering and wish your church would be robbed? All these ungodly thoughts will prevent a fellow from getting to heaven. God knows and records all your thoughts, therefore, mind your thoughts from today by renewing your mind through the word of God.
ACTION POINT
Renew your thoughts through the word of God
HYMN: What Can Wash Away My Stain?
- What can wash away my stain?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
CHORUS
Oh! precious is the flow,
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
- For my cleansing this I see?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my pardon, this my plea ?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! - Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! - This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
