The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for 11th November 2021 Is “Real Progress”
MEMORISE: Psalms 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
READ: JONAH 1:1-4
1. Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2. Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
4. But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: LAMENTATIONS 3:1-66, LAMENTATIONS 4:1-22, LAMENTATIONS 5:1-22, HEBREWS 8:1-13
God desires progress for all His children. As a Christian teenager, you must not remain static for too long. You must keep moving. Don’t be like Jonah who tried to hinder his progress by running away from his divine assignment.
God sent him to Nineveh to instruct the people to repent from their evil ways but Jonah felt they should be punished for past evils. Jonah set out in the opposite direction and God blocked his progress.
Any direction a fellow takes contrary to Gods plan will not be in his/her interest at the end of the day. No one can make real progress while disobeying God.
For instance, a teenager who engages in examination malpractice to get an excellent result may gain admission into the University but will be living a lie or life of cheating just to have good results.
Progress does not necessarily entail the acquisition of material things or doing well academically and in your career. Progress is actually doing what God wants you to do per time. Any progress that does not originate from God is a curse in disguise.
KEY POINT
True progress comes when you’re in obedience to Gods will.
