Topic — Fruit of the Spirit; Meekness [Open Heavens for Teens 17 December 2018]

Memorise: Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. – Matthew 5:5

Read: Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Obadiah 1, Revelation 8

MESSAGE:

Psalm 37:11 says;
“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”

With this Bible verse above and our memory verse for today, we can see that the reward of the meek is to inherit the earth. What then does it mean to be meek? The word ‘meek’ refers to mildness or humility. It’s the ability, right or power to take an action against someone, but you refrain for the benefit of that person or someone else. Meekness is complete humility and patience towards others.

Naturally, man can’t be meek. We all were born with the ‘an eye for an eye’ mentality, and with that mentality comes the need to spell out our superiority at every chance we get. But as Christians, we have to be Christ-like. Philippians 2:6-8 says Jesus, “being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant… He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death…” Are you humble? Do you always feel the need to show off your accomplishments and possessions to your friends? Pray for the Spirit of meekness today.

Prayer Point: Sweet Holy Spirit, please fill my heart with meekness

Hymn 13

  1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
    Is the love of God flowing through you?
    Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
    Are you ready His service to do?

Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

  1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
    Are you burdened for those that are lost?
    Have you urged upon those who are straying
    The Savior who does on the cross
  2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
    Is it a daily telling for Him?
    Have you spoken the word of salvation?
    To those who are dying in sin?
  3. We cannot be channels of blessing
    If our lives are not free from sin;
    We will barriers be and a hindrance
    To those we are trying to win
