Topic: Be Conservative [Teens Open Heavens 16, June 2018]
Memorise: Then the Lord an whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 2 Kings 7:2
Read: Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV)
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Bible In One Year: Nehemiah 1-3, Acts 2:1-13
MESSAGE:
In these days when everybody is trying to gain attention in social media, in the bid to create content, we are sometimes tempered to post anything that is a happening to us on our social media platforms. This is very wrong. The reason the diamond has higher value than water, is that you have to search hard to find just a little of it, whereas water is available every where, even though water is essential to life and diamond isn’t. It is not everything about you that you should put for the whole world out there to see and know. In fact, those who are always talking about themselves are less valued and viewed as not very disciplined people.
It is also not everything you know that you must say. Learn to only say what is necessary per time. Think before you speak, ask yourself, “do I have to say this?” if you keep saying everything you know at all times, you are courting trouble, nobody will trust you with information, and your running mouth may put you in trouble very soon.
Key Point: The internet never forgets, be careful about what you post online, the words you say and the things you do.

Hymn 2
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Chorus:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
4.But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
