TOPIC: He Keeps His Word [Open Heaven for Teens 15 October 2022]
MEMORISE: For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. – 2 Corinthians 1:20
READ: 2 Corinthians 1:20-22
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Thessalonians 3:1-13, Isaiah 56-58
MESSAGE:
When a person makes a promise to you, he/she can fail or change his/her mind but our Heavenly Father does not. He will always keep His promises as written in our memory verse for today.
Abraham and Sarah were promised a child and it took many years before the promise was fulfilled. God also promised to take the Israelites to the Promised Land after 400 years of slavery and He fulfilled it. He promised to send a Messiah that would reconcile the world to Him; He fulfilled it through Jesus Christ. God never fails in keeping His word.
However, for God to fulfil His promise in your life, you have a role to play. Stay with Him, never turn back from following after Him because that would only prolong your days of waiting for the fulfilment of His promise. Also, keep confessing His word. In His time, He will fulfil the promise He made to you.
KEY POINT:
God never fails in keeping His promises.
HYMN: Standing On The Promises Of God
CHORUS:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God, my Saviour;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
