Topic: Which Surprise Pack? [Teens Open Heavens 17 October 2018]
Memorise: Behold therefore the goodness and the severity of God: on them which fell severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shall be cut off. Romans 11:22
Read: Romans 11:17-24 (KJV)
Bible In One Year: Isaiah 62-64, 1 Thessalonians 5
MESSAGE:
Our God is called Wonderful. He is loaded with awe-causing events both good and bad and distributes these to people, depending on whether they are friends or foes. He revealed Himself to the Israelites and the Egyptians as the Wonderful, only that each saw His wonders from two different ends.
God’s goodness is released from His positive wonder packs, while His judgements come from the negative wonder packs. Are you a believer? You qualify for pleasant surprise packs from the Wonderful. But if you do not sustain your righteous standing and daily make Him happy, He may show you another aspect of His surprises; judgement.
Key Point: You are the one to determine which surprise package will come to you by your own works, thoughts and desires.

Teen Open Heaven Daily Devotional by Pastor Adeboye
Hymn 8
1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3. To all life thou givest to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee.
4. Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render; o help us to see;
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee.
5. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
