OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS MONDAY 31ST MAY 2021 – SELF EVALUATION

TEENS OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY.

MEMORISE: For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Galatians 6:3

READ: 2 Corinthians 13:5

5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 1-3, John 12:1-50

A student goes through some sort of quarterly or yearly evaluation through tests and examinations, in order to ascertain how well he or she has fared in a subject before moving to the next level. As a child of God who hopes to become better and reach greater heights, you must constantly evaluate yourself either by accepting people’s honest evaluation of you and working on your weaknesses.

Some teenagers ignore or hide from self-evaluation; this ought not to be. When you evaluate yourself from time to time, it shows you are humble and ready to improve. Never get too comfortable particularly at any level spiritually, there is always room for improvement and this can only happen when you evaluate yourself in line with Gods word daily.

Any Christian who does this will not be caught unawares by rapture. Today’s memory verse encourages that you should evaluate yourself often because it will protect you from thinking that you are something when you are not.

ACTION POINT: Examine yourself daily to know whether you are still in the faith.

HYMN 11: IN CHRIST ALONE

1. In Christ alone my hope is found
   He is my light, my strength, my song;
   This Cornerstone; this solid ground;
   Firm through the fiercest drought and storm;
   What heights of love, what depths of peace
   When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
   My Comforter, my All in All
   Here in the love of Christ
2. In Christ alone, who took on flesh
   Fullness of God in helpless babe
   This gift of love and righteousness
   Scorned by the ones He came to save
   ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
   The wrath of God was satisfied
   For every sin on Him was laid
   Here in the death of Christ I live, I live.
3. There in the ground His body lay
   Light of the world by darkness slain
   Then bursting forth in glorious Day
   Up from the grave He rose again
   And as He stands in victory
   Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
   For I am His and He is mine
   Bought with the precious blood of Christ
4. No guilt in life, no fear in death
   This is the power of Christ in me
   From life’s first cry to final breath
   Jesus commands my destiny
   No power of hell, no scheme of man
   Can ever pluck me from His hand
   Till He returns or calls me home
   Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
