The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for 19th December 2022 Is “A Heart Of Gratitude”
Read: 2 Samuel 6:14-21#
14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
Memorize: 2 Samuel 7:1 Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 10:1-11, Micah 1-3
Many years ago, I was abroad at a world conference where several big men of God from all over the world were present. They also invited a small man like me and I went with my tambourine. One of the big preachers came to me and asked, What are you doing with a tambourine like an ordinary member of the choir? You are supposed to be the General Overseer, or is that not what they call you? I was surprised at his comment. May God have mercy! May I never stop praising God. How can I, a terrible sinner that God called out of darkness and brought into His light, stop praising God? I remember when I became the General Overseer of the RCCG; the total number of the staff of the Redeemed Christian Bible College was just three: the Principal, myself and one other person. Today, by the grace of God, the staff strength is well over a thousand. Who am I to feel too big to praise this God?
If you truly have a heart of gratitude, you will never be cajoled to praise God and you will not only praise Him when in the congregation of other Christians, you will thank Him constantly for everything. If you are grateful for all the numerous blessings of God, shout Hallelujah!
KEY POINT:
Whoever has a heart of gratitude will always be grateful.
HYMN: When Upon Life’s Billows You Are Tempest-Tossed
- When upon life’s billows
you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged,
thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings,
name them one by one,
And it will surprise you
what the Lord hath done.
CHORUS
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
Count your blessings,
see what God hath done;
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
Count your many blessings,
see what God hath done.
- Are you ever burdened
with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings,
ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing
as the days go by. - When you look at others
with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised
you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings,
money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven,
nor your home on high. - So, amid the conflict,
whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged,
God is over all;
Count your many blessings,
angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you
to your journey’s end.
