Open Heaven For Teens 22nd November 2021 Message
Waking up early gives you the opportunity to have ample quiet time with God especially to thank Him for sustenance, divine guidance, security and regular provision. You can praise Him in songs or tongues quietly before studying a verse of the Bible for fresh insights. Thereafter, commit your day into His hands. If you want to have quality quiet time void of distractions, you must rise early. This was Jesus attitude too:
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”
“Mark 1:35”
Many researchers have argued that a person should have at least eight hours of sleep daily but for a child of destiny, you cant be sleeping almost a quarter of the day and expect to become very great. I trained myself from my youth to sleep for just four hours daily and rise early in the morning to set my day right. You may be saying your body cannot adjust to it but the truth is those who want to be outstanding in life train themselves to pay the price.
Prayer Point
How many hours do you spend sleeping?

HYMN: Higher Ground
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
