TEENS DEVOTIONAL OPEN HEAVEN FOR 25 OCTOBER 2021
TOPIC: DANGERS OF CRITICISING
Read: Revelation 2:1-4
1. Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
2. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
3. And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
4. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

“But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:15
TODAY’S MESSAGE: The goal of criticism is to bring about correction, a change in the positive direction. More often than not however, this goal is not realized because of poor presentation. People who dish out destructive criticisms have a critical spirit; this makes them focus on the wrongdoings of others while blinded to theirs. Sadly, they dont see the virtues in the fellow being criticized. If youre in a position to correct anyone, please do it wisely and constructively. There is a better way to correct people.
For instance, in our Bible passage for today, when God was about to correct the church at Ephesus, He applauded them before stating their weaknesses. This is what I also do; whenever I want to correct someone, I would first commend him/her in the areas in which he/she has done well,enumerate his/her strengths before bringing out his/her faults. Thereafter, Ill encourage the person and tell him/her how he/she can make amends. Any fellow you criticize this way will know that you genuinely have their interest at heart.
Point: Constructive criticism will always yield positive changes in people.
Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 14:1-22, Jeremiah 15:1-21, Jeremiah 16:1-21, 1 Timothy 5:1-25
