Teens Open Heaven 19 August Daily Devotional 2018 by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Topic: Honourable Young Vessels
Memorise: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Read: 1 Samuel 3:1-5
Bible In One Year: Psalm 112-115, 1 Corin. 1
MESSAGE:
In Psalm 105:14-15, God warned that nobody should touch or harm His anointed. This warning is not limited to adults but also applies to children and teens. God does not take kindly to any acts that insults, belittles or ridicules His anointed. In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some children thought it fun to mock God’s servant and call him names. God’s judgement fell on them immediately. Even today, some children, particularly teenagers, call men of God names. In a particular gospel Church, it was discovered that the teens gave most of the adult members nicknames. When they discussed about their parents, ministers and pastors, nobody knew who they were referring to.
Be warned, never disrespect the anointed of God or someone older than you. If you are in a place where your peers are making jest of men of God, immediately leave that place. Those who make fun of God’s anointed servants do not live long (Numbers 16:35) do not rebuke a minister of God no matter how young he or she is. You are not too young to know what is right and wrong. Treat with absolute respect the men of God in your church or neighbourhood.
Action Point: Honour God in the life of every minister of God you come in contact with.

Homes where the mother in queenly quest,
Strives to show others Thy way is best,
Homes where the Lord is an honoured guest;

God give us Christian homes!
4. God give us Christian homes!
Homes where the Children are led to knJow,
Christ in His beauty who loves them so,
Homes where the altar fire burn and glow;
God give us Christian homes;
God give us Christian homes!
