Open Heaven For Teens 8 May 2023 – Vengeance
TOPIC: Vengeance [Open Heaven for Teens 8 May 2023]
MEMORISE: Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry. Jeremiah 51:36
READ: Romans 12:17-21
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
MESSAGE:
I know that sometimes, people hurt you so badly and you wish you had superpowers like in movies or cartoons like Power Rangers and could teach them a lesson, this shouldn’t be. If anyone maltreats you, don’t stop being good to them, as seen in the Bible text for today. God says in His word that vengeance is His, so why take up His responsibility? There is no satisfaction in taking revenge, but there is great satisfaction when God gets the work done for you.

God’s vengeance on your enemies will put you and the wicked in awe. When God fights for you, He gives you complete victory and the last laugh so that the enemy cannot rise against you again. This is what He did to Pharaoh and his men when He drowned them in the Red Sea.
My child, if anyone is treating you wrongly or being unfair to you, do not take laws into your hands. Just plead your case to God, and He will come through for you in due time.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please fight for me in Jesus’ name.
HYMN 20:
- Ho, my comrades! see the signal
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh!
Chorus:
“Hold the fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to heaven,
“By Thy grace we will, “
- See the mighty host advancing
Satan leading on:
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone! - See the glorious banner waving!
Hear the trumpet blow!
In our Leader’s name we’ll triumph
Over ev’ry foe! - Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near:
Onward comes our great commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
