Teens’ Open Heavens 15 November 2017 by Pastor Adeboye - Holiday In Your Christian Walk?

Topic: Holiday In Your Christian Walk? [Wednesday 15, November 2017]

Memorise: “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” – Luke 9:62


Read: 2 Samuel 11:1-4

1 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.

2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.

Bible In One Year: Acts 8-9. Hymn: Sing Hymn 4: Take My Life And Let It Be


MESSAGE:

God’s ultimate purpose for saving people is to make them true worshippers who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. He wants souls that will conform to the image of His son, Jesus Christ. The will of God for us is not just that we stand out in life, but that we remain focused and committed to the end.

Heaven is for overcomers and Jesus is our only way there. Hence, there should be no room for sin in the life of anyone who wishes to make it to Heaven. As long as your mind is made up, there should be no going back to the past.

A moment of ungodly pleasure will destroy a life of testimonies. You must run according to the rules of God. The zeal in our hearts must be so great that nothing will hinder us from finishing well. You cannot afford to stop running until you are called up into glory. Endure to the very end.

Key Point: Heaven is for great finishers not good starters.

Sing Hymn 4: Take My Life And Let It Be

1. Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
