Topic: You Are An Asset [Teens’ Open Heavens 14, April 2018]
Memorise: But Jesus said, suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of Heaven. – Matthew 19:14
Read: Matthew 19:13-15 (KJV)
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 15-16, Luke 14:25-35
MESSAGE:
In God’s kingdom, the people who the world calls ‘rejects’ and useless are usually the very useful ones. God uses those of low status – housemaids, houseboys, cleaners, drivers, et cetera for His glory. Furthermore, God has no age limits regarding those He uses. He uses young people; you are not too young to be used by God. Samuel was still a child when God began to speak with him. He was more or less a baby priest. God is glorified with the obedience of little children. No wonder when the disciples tried to stop the children from coming to Jesus, he rebuked the disciples.
Moreover, do you know that as a young adult, you are capable of offering the most sincere and qualitative praise to God? God loves to hear children praise Him. As a heritage of the Lord, God can because of you answer the prayers of your parents, which makes you an asset to them. When you pray to God, it is easier for you to communicate directly with God than your parents. With this knowledge, always pray for yourself, and your family, because God will answer you faster.
Key Point: Jesus loves children, never stay away from Him
