THEME: THE BETTER OPTION

MEMORISE: l have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts-20:35

BIBLE READING: Acts 20:32-35

  1. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
  2. l have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
  3. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
  4. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

MESSAGE:
It is a good thing to be blessed, it is however a better option to be a blessing.
Paul knew this secret, that’s why in spite of the fact that he was very busy in doing God’s work; spreading the gospel across national boundaries, he still had to work so that he could fend for himself and also be a blessing to the weak and poor. When God blesses you, He does so not just for yourself but so that you can share what you have with others. You are from a rich home not to oppress the poor or bully them.
God blessed your family so that you can give to the poor, so that you can share your provisions or foodstuffs with them. The beautiful clothes you have should not decorate your wardrobe until you’re tired of seeing them, they should be given to the poor. How beautiful will it be if you can visit the motherless babies homes on your birthday to share things with them rather than make merry with your rich friends?.

ACTION POINT:
Today, give something good to someone whom you know doesn’t have as much as you do.

HYMN: IS YOUR LIFE A CHANNEL OF BLESSING?

  1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
    Is the love of God
    flowing through you?
    Are you telling the lost of the Saviour?
    Are you ready His service to do?

Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

  1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
    Are you burdened for
    those that are lost?
    Have you urged upon
    those who are straying,
    The Saviour who died on the cross?
  2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
    Is it daily telling for Him?
    Have you spoken the word of salvation
    To those who are dying in sin?
  3. We cannot be channels of blessing
    If our lives are not free from all sins;
    We will barriers be and a hindrance
    To those we are trying to win.

Dealing with Serpents [Open Heavens TEENS Devotional Review for September 3rd September 2020]

Welcome i the Open Heavens TEENS Devotional Review for 3rd September 2020

Dealing with Serpents
Luke 10:18-21

The Eagle is a royal bird, that flies higher than other birds.
The Eagle’s nest is also highly placed but snakes try to get there so they can feast on the Eagle’s eggs
Like the Eagle’s nest , God has placed you as a believer in Christ (Colossians 3) and set you above all principalities and powers which are agents of the devil.

Eph.2.6 – and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Serpents represents the Devil and it’s agents.

Despite your highly seated position, the devil may try to bring temptations your way as he did to Jesus(Matthew 4:1-4) but you can use you authority By the WORD of God
James 4:7… Resist the devil and he will flee from You.

You cannot resist the devil in sin, that’s why it also said first Submit to God.

Dear Child of God, you can overcome the world because Christ has overcome.(John 14:28)

Store the Word of God in your heart and it will be a defence against Serpents.

Summary: Use the Sword of the Spirit(the word) against Serpents

LifeWire You are not too dirty for God to accept!
You may have a past that's bad but He is still rich in mercy and grace,

Happy New Month

Happy New month Beloved!

It’s a September to remember!

May we be strengthend more and more to be a source of help and blessing to others.
ABBA Loves You.

“The Grace of the Lord Jesus and the Love of God and communion of the Holy Spirit be with you, Amen.
