MESSAGE
Any teenager who doesnt want to be limited in life must acquire knowledge from various sources. Many world leaders are those who are vast in knowledge; they know a bit about everything so they can fit into different situations and still carve a niche for themselves.
The instruction in today’s memory verse is, learn from ordinary ants which are in many ways wiser than humans. This means there are people who are younger than you are, yet, exhibit a measure of wisdom you haven’t attained. You will only be able to learn from them if you become humble and friendly.A good lesson to learn from the ant is that your size should not affect your performance or achievements in life.
Don’t see your age, size or disability as a limitation. It does not matter whether you are an albino or sickle cell anaemic, you can do big things; don’t limit yourself. Never look down on yourself or anyone.
Prayer Point
In the name of Jesus, I declare that I will be very great.
Bible in One Year:
Psalms 96:1-13 , Psalms 97:1-12 , Psalms 98:1-9 , Romans 12:1-21
I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY
I’m pressing on
the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining
every day;
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.
