Topic: Engage Your Skills [Teens Open Heavens 2 November 2018]
Memorise: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men:” –
Colossians 3:23
Read: Colossians 3:22-35 (KJV)
Bible In One Year Jeremiah 33-35, Titus 3
MESSAGE:
If the Gospel is well packaged and humbly presented to unsaved souls, the chances are that it will be easily accepted. One reason why people fail to win souls is that they take the approach of comparing which religion is superior to another. If you get involved in a debate on the superiority of a religion, you will most likely lose the soul after the debate. No religion can save. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can. Even when an unsaved soul brings up such argument, tactically avoid them and concentrate on God’s love for him/her. When you focus on God’s love and how much God has sacrificed for the sinner, including the things that He will yet do for the sinner when he/she accepts His love, it will e difficult to ignore your message. From today, present the Gospel in an acceptable manner.
There are some Christians who can sell almost anything, yet when it comes to evangelism, they pocket their marketing skills and can hardly win a soul to Christ. This is shameful! Any ability, gift, talent or knowledge is nothing but a waste. How are you using your skills today?
Prayer Point: Lord Jesus, please help me to glorify You with everything You have given me

Teen Open Heaven Daily Devotional by Pastor Adeboye
Hymn 15:
1. Wonderful story of love;
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love;
Wake the immortal strain!
Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, 0 won’t you believe It?
Wonderful story of love.
Chorus:
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful, Wonderful story of love.
2. Wonderful story of love,
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love;
Still He doth call today;
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation,
Wonderful story of love.
3. Wonderful story of love:
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love;
For all the pure and blest,
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus,
Wonderful story of Love…
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.
