The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for 4th October 2022 Is “FRIENDSHIP I”
Read: PROVERBS 18:24
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Memorise: Proverbs 27:9
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
No man is an island of knowledge. Therefore, friendship with good people is very important. In fact, there are some levels you may not attain unless you have good friends. Many persons have become great by reason of their association.
As a teen, you need to make friends with good people or like minds so that you can be as good as they are. No wonder an adage says, Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.
How do you make friends? You need to first know who you are before you make friends. This is important because your friends must understand your person and vice versa.
Otherwise, you’d always misunderstand one another and this might lead to envy, gossip and unnecessary quarrels. For you to know yourself, you need to understand your temperament.
According Tim LaHaye, who wrote the book ‘Why you act the way you do’, there are four temperaments: choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic and sanguine. Read the book and know which temperament is yours.
KEY POINT
Friendship is sweet when there is understanding.
HYMN
NEARER, MY GOD
1. Nearer, my God, to Thee,
nearer to thee!
E’en though it be a cross
that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God,
2. Though like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I’d be
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!
3. There let the way appear,
steps unto heaven;
all that Thou sendest me,
in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!
4. Then with my waking thoughts
bright with Thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!
5. Or if, on joyful wing
cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to Thee; (2ce)
nearer to Thee!
