TOPIC: Be Thankful (Open Heaven for Teens, 13 November 2025)
MEMORISE: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psalm 103:2
BIBLE READING: Luke 17:11-19
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
MESSAGE:
God expects His children to be appreciative of the numerous blessings He bestows on them. However, it is unfortunate that some Christians are ungrateful to God. They forget His goodness soon after receiving His blessings and begin to speak against Him. For instance, an ungrateful Christian might say, “God, even though I asked for a “B” in my exam, would it have been too much for You to allow me to score an A?” Some Christians will get a job after many years of endless disappointments, and when they receive their pay cheque, they will say, “God, but you know this salary can’t sustain me. You should have allowed me to get a better-paying job.”
Some human beings can be difficult; rather than appreciate the good done to them, they will complain about almost everything. Yet, God, in His infinite mercy, still gives them many benefits daily. My dear child, you are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Stop every act of ingratitude you may be exhibiting towards God or people. Ingratitude is an act of robbery against God; it is dangerous because a person’s joy cannot be full if he or she is not thankful.
KEY POINT:
Say, “Thank you, Jesus”, for the next five minutes.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Ezekiel 27:1-28:26, Hebrews 11:17-31
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!
