Topic: Tell It To Jesus [Teens’ Open Heavens Tuesday 6th, March 2018]
Memorise: Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? Matthew 6:27
Read: Matthew 6:25-27
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 1-2, Mark 11:1-19
MESSAGE:
A man who had been chain smoking for years gave his life to Christ. Not long after, he went back to cigarettes and he kept battling with a relapse of his Christian faith until one day, the brother who led him to The Lord plainly told him: “If you truly took that decision to follow Jesus, then God has forgiven and saved you. The power to overcome this sinful habit has been released, but you have to choose to enforce your rights or not. As long as you fail to receive and use the power, you will remain enslaved to smoking.”
The day you received Jesus Christ into your heart, power was released unto you, but the power will not work till you exercise it. Change occurs in the process of exercising power from the Holy Spirit. You have to daily present your fears before the Lord and allow His power to take control. Frequently ask for His help instead of worrying and falling.
Key Point: When you worry about a matter, your attempt to solve it may compound that matter.
