Open Heavens for Teens 28 Thursday February 2019 Daily Devotional written by Pastor E.A. ADEBOYE

Topic: Your Pay Day Will Come

Memorise: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love.” – Hebrews 6:10

Read: Galatians 6:9-10

9 And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

10 So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God’s family with you, the believers].

Bible In One Year: Numbers 21-25, Mark 7:14-37, Mark 8:1-21

MESSAGE

God has different ways of rewarding His people. Hebrews 6:10 says that God does not forget your labour of love. Have you been a good and well behaved teenager but it seems no one is noticing? Or maybe your parents don’t seem to realize the discipline that you exercise so as not to go wayward. Don’t worry. God sees you and He will reward you appropriately.

The word of God which is always true advices you not to be tired of doing good, keep it up; the fruits of your labour will soon manifest.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9

The best rewarder is God, look up to Him for your reward, not man. Don’t stop doing good, because if you stop, then you could lose the blessings for all the good that you have done in the past. Getting into the wrong path now can cause you to lose all the good things that God has packaged for you as a reward for your faithfulness, and this will be very sad.

Key Point: God sees all your good works and He will reward you in due season.

Hymn 2: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,

1.When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Chorus:
Trust and obey, for theres no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2.Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3.Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4.But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5.Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
