Topic: Know Your Position In Christ [Teens’ Open Heavens Thursday 15th, February 2018]
Memorise: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6
Read: Ephesians 2:4-6
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Bible In One Year: Leviticus 20-21, Matthew 28
MESSAGE:
The best category of motion is flying. When you fly, you experience fast and unhindered progress. One thing to note here is that those who fly use a different medium and follow a different path from those using other categories of motion; they go through the air while others go through land or water. Motion through airways make the risk of collision minimal, unlike motion on land which is laden with so many obstructions.
Colossians 3:1 tells us of our spiritual placement, which is why we should be flying in the airways and not moving on land. Beloved, many of us are not flying yet because we are holding so dearly to the things of this world. We need to receive clear headedness by studying the Bible. If you catch the revelation of your true position in Christ, it will affect your motion in all areas of life.
Key Point: If you are up, the things below you can easily come under your control.
Hymn 7:
1. I am Thine 0 Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
2. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
3. Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
4. There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
