ACCESSING GOD’S WAYS BY STUDYING HIS WORD March 26, 2023 • Seeds of Destiny SCRIPTURE: Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1Timothy 4:13 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The habitual study of the Word is an attribute of greatness. It has been established that the Word of God is the builder of life and destiny. Your destiny is not in view when the Word is out of place in your life. To neglect the Word is to forfeit your destiny. This means, the diligent study of the Word is necessary for the fulfilment of destiny (2 Timothy 2:15, John 5:39). Now, what does it mean to study the Word of God? To study the Word of God is to access the ways, thoughts, principles and precepts of God from His Book in order to walk better with Him on earth. When you study God’s Word, you are trying to know what He likes, how He thinks, what His principles are, what you are allowed to do, what you are forbidden from doing, etc. This is what studying the Word of God is about.

TOPIC: God Thinks About You [Open Heaven for Teens 28 November 2022]
MEMORISE: Many, O Lord My God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Psalms 40:5
READ: Psalms 139:17-18
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Peter 5:1-14, Ezekiel 40:1-49
MESSAGE:
God is mindful of you. The sand at the beach is literally uncountable, yet, God says His good thoughts outnumber them. God really cares about you, so, ignore every negative thought the devil brings to your mind. When the devil tells you that you will fail, that no one cares about you, tell him Jeremiah 29:11 says:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
When the devil tells you that you will you die in sickness, tell him Isaiah 53:5 says:
“But He was wounded for my transgression, He was bruised for my iniquities: my chastisement of peace was upon Him; and with His stripes I am healed.”
When you are a true child of God, He is always with you. His word says I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5). Rather than feel dejected, call on God for help, He is your present help in trouble.
KEY POINT
God loves and thinks about you; never forget this.
HYMN: I Am Thine O Lord
I am Thine, O 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.
CHORUS
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.
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.
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!
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.
