Open Heaven For Teens Monday 26 July 2021 Daily Devotional was written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
TOPIC: Trouble Maker Or Trouble Shooter?
MEMORISE: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9
READ: Hebrews 12:14
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 47-49, Acts 26:1-32
MESSAGE:
Some teenagers have made themselves terrors; they don’t appreciate serenity. They like to make trouble so they can have some action anywhere they find themselves. See, being troublesome is not a fruit of the Spirit and you would only create a bad reputation for yourself wherever you go.
A troublemaker doesn’t listen to anyone but himself; he feels he has the best ideas and should anyone counter them, he unleashes trouble. This attitude does not give room for peace or healthy growth. On the other hand, a “trouble-shooter” is peaceful and settles disputes. No wonder the Bible says peacemakers shall be called the sons of God (Matthew 5:9). The teenage years are the most memorable in ones life and whatever you create in it will later become your doing or undoing in future. It’s important to make sure that these years aren’t spent in partying, disappointing people, spreading rumors, fighting and bullying. Embrace peace so that you can have a peaceful future.
KEY POINT: Are you a trouble maker or trouble shooter?
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.
