Hello dear friend, I would like to share a little secret with you today. Well, maybe not a secret, it’s one of the instructions God has given you and me to have a beautiful life. Today, I will be talking to you about service. Yes, service. How have you been using your gifts?
As little children, we aren’t too young to do things for God.
In fact, in God’s word, there is no age bracket for who can serve God.
The Bible says in
And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. – Exodus 23:25 [KJV]
This is a powerful secret for good health, not only for you but for your parents as well
The big question then is; how can you serve God as a child?
Let me show you a few ways
1. By observing your quiet time daily.
As a child of God, the way you communicate with him is by praying and reading your Bible daily. This helps you to know the heart of God and also to do his will.
2. Showing Love to everyone around you.
The highest commandment in the Bible is the command to love God and also to love our neighbors. This is the desire of God for all his children.
3. Use your gifts and talents in the house of God.
If you sing or are good at acting, the house of God is a good place to use your gifts. You can join the children’s choir, children’s acting group, whatever you find to do, do it.
May God bless you more as you deploy your gifts in the service of God. Amen
Prayer: Lord, help me to use my gifts well.
Action point: Join a unit in your church
Declaration: I will use my gift well to serve and glorify God.
For a while now, we have been talking about right decisions. Hope you have been following closely. The reason we are dwelling on this topic is because the way you begin the year matters a lot.
It’s noteworthy to point out that it’s four days into the year already, so much has happened in just three days. I hope you aren’t planning to flow with the tides?
What decisions have you made for the year? Or do you plan to live every day as it comes?
If you want a fruitful year, it’s not too late to set your goals for 2022.
Here are a few things you should consider:
1. Wake up early every day to say a word of Prayer before setting out for school;
It is wrong for you to leave your house without first communicating with your maker.
2. Make sure to read your Bible every day;
Do you remember the Sunday school song ‘read your bible and pray every day if you want to grow’?
3. Be committed to showing love to everyone around:
God made everyone, so show love to everyone.
4. Respect your parents and everyone else:
Do you remember what the scriptures say about showing respect to your parents?
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. – Ephesians 6:1
5. Do your best at everything:
Do not live a life of mediocrity. Go for the best.
With these few things, you are set for an amazing year already.
God bless you as you do.
Prayer: Lord, help me to make the right decisions this new year.
Action point: Talk to your parents or guardians. Let them help you follow through with your decisions.
Declaration: I make the right decisions this year in Jesus name, Amen.
