TOPIC – Abstinence Is Freedom (Open Heaven for Teens, 18 October 2026)
MEMORISE: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. – 1 Corinthians 6:20
BIBLE READING: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
MESSAGE:
In a world where premarital sex and sexual immorality appear normal, I want you to know that it is important to keep yourself sexually pure. My dear child, abstaining from premarital sex and sexual immorality isn’t just a command from God; it is a practice that would protect your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. One of the reasons you must remain sexually pure is that it makes you a vessel unto honour.
God designed sex for intimacy and procreation in marriage. Therefore, it is not old-fashioned to wait until marriage before you engage in sexual activities with your spouse. This is to safeguard against the regrets and complications that often come with premarital sex. My dear child, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so you must abstain from all appearances of evil. For example, if you have apps on your phone that can expose you to pornography, delete them today. If you have to dissociate from a friend who likes to say nonsense around you, stop visiting him or her from today. You have to do everything possible to overcome temptations.
I pray for you today that God will give you the grace to be strong emotionally and spiritually, in Jesus’ name. When you are rooted in God, it will be difficult to fall into temptation, thereby making abstinence achievable
Quiz: Who in the Bible ran away from premarital sex and sexual immorality?
KEY POINT:

Luke 2:1-24, Joshua 4-6
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.
