Topic: Don’t Be Discouraged [Open Heavens for Teens 24 December 2018]

Memorise: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” – Romans 8:28

Read: Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Zephaniah 1-3, Revelation 15

MESSAGE:

There are so many things happening in the world right now that are so fear and worry inducing that one can’t help but be discouraged. Even for you teens, discouragement is not far-fetched. The devil rules over this present world and one of his tools especially against children of God is discouragement. But we are serving a living God. We serve a God who does not sleep nor slumber, and He never forsakes His children. So if you can just take your focus off discouraging situation and put that focus on Christ, you will find out that everything will smoothen out.

Are your grades low? Don’t give up. Even if your parents have stopped believing in you. Hold on tighter to God and His Word. Dig deep into His Word and find strength and solace. God is always present to get you out of whatever situation you can ever find yourself, just believe and hold on tight through prayers.

Key Point: When you allow discouragement, you allow the devil.

Hymn 1:

  1. My faith looks up to Thee,
    Thou Lamb of Calvary,
    Savior divine!
    Now hear me while I pray,
    Take all my guilt away,
    Oh, let me from this day
    Be wholly Thine!
  2. May Thy rich grace impart
    Strength to my fainting heart,
    My zeal inspire!
    As Thou hast died for me,
    Oh, may my love to Thee
    Pure, warm and changeless be,
    A living fire!
  3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
    And griefs around me spread,
    Be Thou my guide;
    Bid darkness turn to day,
    Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
    Nor let me ever stray
    From Thee aside.
  4. When ends life’s transient dream,
    When death’s cold sullen stream
    Shall o’er me roll;
    Blest Savior, then, in love,
    Fear and distrust remove;
    Oh, bear me safe above,
    A ransomed soul.

Daily Devotional for Teen’s guide was written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, one of the largest evangelical church in the world and also the President of Christ the Redeemer’s Ministries.
