MEMORIZE: This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8
OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS MAY 2023 BIBLE READING PROVERBS 1:29-33
[29]For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
[30]They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
[31]Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
[32]For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
[33]But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Today’s memory verse says that there is good success. This invariably means that there is bad success. While good success brings peace, bad success brings destruction. For example, a young boy/girl who is into cybercrime can be successful, but his success will lead to destruction because the source of his Success/wealth is impure.
Good success means prosperity without adversity. Good success has a good or pure source, it comes as a result of hard work and God’s blessings.
Beloved, for you to experience good success, you must first accept Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour. Submit to His authority and take the word of God as your guide in all matters. In addition, study hard, get involved in legitimate business, and never cheat anyone. As you endeavour to live according to God’s Word today, good success and prosperity will accompany everything you do, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 25 MAY 2023 HYMN
HYMN 6: I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY
- I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
- My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground. - Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground. - I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song, while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground. - Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
