Topic: Mini Hell [Teens Open Heavens 10, May 2018]
Memorise: And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Luke 11:14
Read: Matthew 18:23-25 (KJV)
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 21-22, John 3:1-21
MESSAGE:
The presence of an unforgiving spirit releases a type of smell that attracts demons. So, eventually, the unforgiving fellow becomes an annex of Satan’s evil headquarters. No wonder good things coming the way of such a person are immediately diverted.
Are you holding a grudge against someone? At the end of the day, you are only troubling yourself; you will lose all your joy, peace and rest. Are you not tormenting yourself instead of the person you are holding the grudge against? Stop holding yourself back. Stop living in a mini hell! Go to that your friend in school that offended you and make peace, buy something for that your neighbor that you have been keeping malice with. You will discover great peace when you do make peace with others.
Key Point: You should forgive, not because you want to, but because you need to. Without forgiveness, you cannot access Heaven.

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.
2. 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 died on the cross?
3. 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?
4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from known sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.
