Open Heavens for Teens 8 December 2018 

Daily Devotional written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

Topic: Simply Believe

Memorise: Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, – Ephesians 3:20

Read: Ephesians 3:20-21 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Daniel 11-12, 3 John 1

MESSAGE:

We can have great expectations because God has given us great promises. According to 2 Peter 1:4, some promises of God to us are far more than just great. God is not a liar, since the Word has gone out of His mouth, He is committed to fulfilling it. He sure will deploy every resource at His disposal to see it come to pass.

This also means that if you are a child of God and you are going through a situation of fruitless efforts, it is only a phase; it is just for a limited time. Soon, God’s Word shall prevail over that situation, you only have to believe that the God you serve is able to meet all your great expectations. The God that you serve can never fail you, even if it means bending the rules or suspending a law in order to meet your needs.

Key Point: Without believing there is no receiving.

Hymn: My Faith Looks Up Toto Thee

1. My faith looks up to Thee,

Thou Lamb of Calvary, 

Savior divine!

Now hear me while I pray, 

Take all my guilt away, 

Oh, let me from this day 

Be wholly Thine!

2. May Thy rich grace impart 

Strength to my fainting heart, 

My zeal inspire!

As Thou hast died for me,

Oh, may my love to Thee

Pure, warm and changeless be,

A living fire!

3. While life’s dark maze I tread, 

And griefs around me spread, 

Be Thou my guide; 

Bid darkness turn to day,

Wipe sorrow’s tears away, 

Nor let me ever stray 

From Thee aside.

4. When ends life’s transient dream, 

When death’s cold sullen stream 

Shall o’er me roll; 

Blest Savior, then, in love, 

Fear and distrust remove; 

Oh, bear me safe above, 

A ransomed soul
