Topic: You Can Be His Witness [Teens’ Open Heavens 7, April 2018]
Memorise: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: – 1 Corinthians 2:4
Read: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 (KJV)
1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Bible In One Year: Joshua 20-21, Luke 11:1-28
MESSAGE:
As a bonafide member of the Kingdom of God, you must be a proof of His power to save. Matthew 1:21 says that Jesus shall save His people from sin. 1 John 1:7 says His blood cleanses us from all sins. If the power to save was demonstrated in the life of anybody at all, it was in the life of Paul. He could say this because he realised how far he had gone before Jesus saved him. What about your life? Can you say that you have observed changes in your life from the time that you received the Lord Jesus Christ? Where are the evidences of a changed life? Let your life proof that God can transform lives.
The transformation will be brought about by the power of the Holy Spirit. Power simply means the ability to work. Through the Holy Spirit, you can live a life pleasing and acceptable unto God, and through you, the Spirit of God can work miracles that will bring others to the Kingdom of God. Are you ready for God to use you in these last days? Draw closer to the Holy Spirit like never before.
Action Point: Win at least one soul to the Lord Jesus Christ today.

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, 0h, 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.
