The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for 26th September 2022 Is “Boast Not”
MEMORISE: Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1
READ: Luke 12:16-20
- And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
- And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
- And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
- And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
- But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Galatians 4:1-31, Isaiah 7-9
Boasting is one of the attitudes of the proud. Hardly would you see a proud fellow that does not boast. This is because they are so full of themselves. A proud fellow believes that he/she is the best.
From our Bible passage for today, the farmer in that story was called the rich fool. He was rich, yet foolish. In other words, God sees the boastful as foolish. God took the rich fool because he felt he had made a great harvest by his wisdom and that he could now rest from his labour.
This teaches that whatever anyone has is from God. Whatever feat anyone achieves is as a result of God’s help. Therefore, you must always give glory to God because, at the snap of His finger, a man’s breath could cease.
God hates pride. No wonder His word says He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5). Therefore, if you want to enjoy Gods grace all your life, never boast of anything. Instead, acknowledge the supremacy of God and His grace in your life.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please give me the grace to always acknowledge You as my Source.
HYMN: I Need Thee Every Hour
- I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
CHORUS
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Ev’ry hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.
- I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh. - I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain. - I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil. - I need Thee every hour,
Most Holy one;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
