Open Heavens for Teens Saturday 29 December 2018 Daily Devotional written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Topic: Good Vs God (II)
Memorise: “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.” – 1 Corinthians 10:23
Read: Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
Bible In One Year: Zechariah 10-12, Revelation 20
MESSAGE:
Life is filled with good pleasures, but not all good things are godly things. The difference between a good and godly thing is their end results. For example going on a date with a boy or a girl may seem enjoyable, but what will be the end result? Whereas, sitting at home to read your books may seem unpleasant, but the end result is success. Not all that glitters is gold. Check everything that looks good with the Word of God because only those that are godly will end in good results, while the ungodly ones will regret. Galatians 6:7 says “God is not mocked: whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Check the advice that your friends are giving you, check the thoughts that are coming to your mind. Weigh them with God’s Word to determine whether they are good or Godly. Whatever you do today is a seed, and you will surely reap the harvest sometime soon.
Key Point: Let your watchword be: Good is bad and God is best.
Hymn 16:
- Christian, seek not yet repose
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray. - Principalities and power
Mustering their unseen array
Wait for the unguarded hours:
Watch and pray. - Gird the heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray. - Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray. - Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou loves to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray. - Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
