Open Heaven For Teens Monday 24 May 2021 Daily Devotional was written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
TOPIC: Activating Spiritual Gifts
MEMORISE: But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. 1 Corinthians 12:31
READ: 1 Corinthians 12:6-7
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 11-13, John 9:1-41
MESSAGE:
As a godly teenager, one thing you must thirst for is the expression of spiritual gifts. After salvation, we always encourage our children to thirst for the infilling of the Holy Spirit because He is the One who makes alive Gods gift in us. These gifts are necessary for the proper functioning of the Body of Christ.
It is not difficult to identify the gifts of God in you. For instance, if you love to teach, you might have the gift of teaching. There are several other gifts such as speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, et cetera. All the gifts are given by the Holy Spirit and each individual has his or her own peculiar gift. Discover yours and decide to serve God with it (them). Note that all the gifts are necessary for the edification of the Body of Christ; in other words, the gifts are not for your personal use, they are meant to be used to edify other Christians in the Body of Christ. If you don’t know your gift(s), ask the Holy Spirit today.
PRAYER POINT: Father, please help me to use my gifts for Your glory.
HYMN: LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU
While passing through this world of sin,
And others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.
CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.
Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you?
What joy ’twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you.
Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.
