TOPIC – Don’t Drift (Open Heaven for Teens, 19 September 2026)
MEMORISE: Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1 Corinthians 10:12
BIBLE READING: Hebrews 2:1-3
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
MESSAGE:
The Bible, in Colossians 4:14 and Philemon 1:24, makes references to the life of Demas, a co-labourer with Paul. Despite his close relationship with Apostle Paul, he fell back into sin. This shows that no one is immune to backsliding.
Backsliding does not happen at once; it happens gradually. The devil can make the process slow, so that a believer will not even realise it until he or she has already drifted far from God’s will. It may start by reducing the time spent on prayer and Bible study each day and gradually lead to staying a whole day without praying or studying the Bible. Soon, the devil might even suggest that such a person replace attending church in person with joining services online for the sake of convenience.

My dear child, examine your heart to see whether you’re still following Jesus. Do you still pray, fast, meditate on the word, obey divine instructions, and evangelise as you did when you first gave your life to Christ? If you sense that you’re no longer on fire for God, please return to Him now, and cry out for a revival.
KEY POINT:
Examine yourself daily to help you stay on God’s path.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Luke 2:25-52, Joshua 7-8
HYMN 7 – L AM THINE, O LORD
1 l am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where ThoU hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2 Consecrate mne now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3 Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
4 There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till l cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till T rest in peace with Thee.
