TOPIC: Outsourcing Responsibility? [Open Heaven for Teens 24 February 2022]
MEMORISE: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4
READ:1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 5:21-43, Numbers 11-13
MESSAGE:
It is wrongly assumed that the youngest child of every family is over-pampered. Well, I didnt have that luxury as the last child of my father. In those days, my father was regarded as the poorest in the village but he worked so hard to ensure that I had a good education. He also taught his children the value of hard work.God created us to work. He Himself got His hands dirty when He made Adam out of the dust of the ground and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work. Genesis 2:15 says:
“And the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”
The first task Adam had was to name all the animals. If you watch animal documentaries, you will understand the magnitude of the work Adam did. He named all the animals both on land and in water including all the insects in the world. He did not delegate his duties to Eve. Therefore, you don’t have any excuse. From today, discard laziness and the assigning of your responsibilities to your siblings or colleagues, so that you can become competent and perfect.
ACTION POINT:
Think of a chore or duty you usually delegate to another person, then do it by yourself today and henceforth.
HYMN: Let Others See Jesus In You
- While passing through this
world of sin,
And others your life shall view,
Be clean and pure without, within,
Let others see Jesus in you.
Chorus:
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.
- Your life’s a book before their eyes,
They’re reading it through and through;
Say, does it point them to the skies,
Do others see Jesus in you? - What joy ’twill be at set of sun,
In mansions beyond the blue,
To find some souls that you have won;
Let others see Jesus in you. - Then live for Christ both day and night,
Be faithful, be brave, and true,
And lead the lost to life and light;
Let others see Jesus in you.
