TOPIC – Friendship Goals (Open Heaven for Teens, 13 November 2026)

MEMORISE: Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: 1 Samuel 18:1

BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

MESSAGE:

When I was in secondary school, I had a friend with whom l did many things. We played, studied, and even got into trouble together. I nicknamed him ‘Emmanuelo Morganď, and he called me ‘Adesco’. We were like 5 and 6, as people would say, and we shared similar goals and ambitions towards greatness.

True friendship is rare, but Jonathan and David’s bond shows what godly friendship looks like. Today’s memory verse says that Jonathan loved David as his own soul, sacrificing his own comfort for David’s well-being. Finding a ‘Jonathan’ in today’s World may seem difficult, which is why you must be spiritually sensitive when choosing a friend.

My dear child, don’t choose friends who will put you into trouble or those who will desert you in your down moments. Rather, choose real friends who will encourage and support your faith. Find friends who love God and will stand by you through thick and thin. I pray that the Almighty God will guide you in choosing godly friends, in Jesus’ name.

REFLECTION:
Do you have friends who will stand by you through thick and thin?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Mark 15:27-47; Deuteronomy 28

HYMN 30 – When We Walk With The Lord

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 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 blest if we trust and obey.

3 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.

4 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.
