TOPIC: Your Greatest Enemy (Open Heaven for Teens, 20 October 2025)
MEMORISE: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. – 1 Corinthians 9:27
BIBLE READING: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
MESSAGE:
Many people think that their biggest enemy is the devil. On the contrary, a fellow’s biggest enemy is himself or herself through the fellow’s flesh. Consider Samson’s life; he took down an entire city singlehandedly but could not conquer himself (his flesh). He was so powerful that cities feared him, but on a woman’s lap, he was the weakest of men. Even a little child knows better than to touch a piece of hot iron that has burned him or her before. In Samson’s case, however, he told Delilah a lie about the source of his power twice and awoke to find that she had used the information against him, yet he did not stay away from her. He ended up telling her the truth and was made to grind corn for the same enemies that used to fear him (Judges 16:6-21). You may say that Samson was a fool, but I want you to examine yourself deeply. Have you been staying away from any sins that easily entice you?
When a child of God is fervent in his or her walk with God, the devil will begin to search for his or her weakness. The moment he finds any, he will try to use them as weapons to make that fellow destroy himself or herself. My dear child, you must destroy any weakness before the devil uses it against you.
ACTION POINT:
Examine yourself deeply and write down any sins that entice you easily. Pray to God to help you overcome them.
