CHILDREN – How Best To Use Your Words

Words are powerful. Once spoken, they can’t be unspoken. The reason you have to be careful about what you say or who you say it to.

On a faithful day, Jude looked his classmate in the face and called him a drunk. Not only that, told him he was a bastard.

Everyone thought it was a joke, because no one expected such from Jude.

Mr Johnson, his class teacher was shocked. He couldn’t believe his ears. Why would he use such harsh words on his classmate? Earnest?

How could he? He had taught him so many times about using his words to bless and not curse people.

Although Jude later said he was joking, the damage had already been done. How was he going to unsay what he had already said? What an expensive joke.

When you make coarse jokes at others all for the fun of it, it reflects back on your parents. People will think your parents haven’t taught you about manners.

You bring shame, embarrassment, and disgrace to them. People will call them irresponsible and probably say that to their faces.

So, when next you want to make a bad joke, remember your parents.

May God help you to remember How Best To Use Your Words, Amen.

Prayer:
Lord, help me not to bring shame, disgrace, and embarrassment to my parents.

Action plan:
Ask God for the grace to help you choose your words well.

Declaration:
I choose to bless only with my words.

How To Make Your Parents Joyful

How To Make Your Parents Joyful

Reading Time: 2 minutes

CHILDREN –

Hello champ, let’s learn something new today!

See what the bible says in our focus verse;

A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. –Proverbs 10:1(NIV)

One of the things you should work really hard at doing is making your parents happy at all times. God wants you to do this, that’s why it is mentioned in the bible.

If you want to be called a wise child, you should bring joy, and smiles to your father, and make your mother happy at all times.

The Bible defines this as wisdom.

It is also stated in the bible that when you as a child honour your father, and mother your days will be long on the earth. This is the only commandment with a promise.

It’s really important that you as a child prioritize the happiness of your parents. How do you do this?

It’s by thinking of their happiness in all your decisions and making sure that you obey them. Let me show you ways in which you can make your parents happy and be a wise child.

1. Obey everything they tell you

2. Pray for them all the time

3. Read your books and do well in school

4. Do your house chores without being told to

5. Be hardworking and diligent at all you do

6. Keep your books properly so they don’t get torn or missing

7. Honour elderly people around you

8. Be nice to your friends and siblings

You have to be intentional about making your parents happy, be deliberate about it, always do things that will make them smile, and before you do anything ask yourself; will mum and Dad be happy about this thing I am about to do?

If you do this all the time, you will see that you will gradually become mindful of their happiness every day.

PRAYER:
Father in Jesus name, give me the wisdom to make my Parents happy always

ACTION PLAN:
Choose to do one thing  today to make your parents happy

DECLARATION:
I am a good child, I am wise. I have the wisdom to make my mum and dad happy all the time

This Is Why You Must Love Correction

This Is Why You Must Love Correction

Reading Time: 2 minutes

CHILDREN –

Dear Child, today we’ll be learning about corrections and instructions. As children, you know you don’t know everything. You still need the help of adults around you to give you instructions and correct you when you need it.

Corrections won’t always go on your good side, that’s because you will be scolded when need be.

As a child, taking instructions is necessary. You always need someone to guide and direct you so you don’t hurt yourself or make grievous mistakes

See what the bible says;

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. –Proverbs 9: 8-9(KJV)

When a wise man is rebuked (corrected), he will love the person that corrects him more. Why is this? It’s because he loves to be corrected and he or she has realized that it’s only people who love you and want the best for you that will correct you.

You also should love to be corrected, regardless of how you feel after you have been rebuked.

When your parents and adults around you correct you, it’s not because they hate you, it’s because they love you and want you to do better.

Another thing this verse says is that, when instruction is given to a wise person, he or she becomes wiser.

It’s interesting, isn’t it? It’s true because a wise child will follow every instruction given to him or her. This will inevitably make the child wiser because you do what you are told to do and you learn from it.

Do you want to be wiser, smarter and better at what you do? Then what you need to do is accept every correction and follow every instruction you are given, and you will see a great transformation in what you do and how you do it.

May God help you to take corrections.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to listen when I am corrected.

ACTION PLAN:
Put up the right attitude whenever you are corrected.

DECLARATION:
I love correction.

Little Children, God Watches You –Part 2

Little Children, God Watches You –Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hi dear, yesterday I told you how that God watches you. God keeps watch over us his children and his angels are constantly watching over you and I.

The fact that God watches over us also means that he sees all that we do, and that means everything we engage in whether good or bad, the things we do in secret, and the ones that are open to everyone.

Take for instance, your parents might not know if you disobey them, or when you make faces at them when they correct you, but God sees you, and that is because he doesn’t turn his face away from you for a second.

For a man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths, the evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly. –Proverbs 5:21-23 (NIV)

I want you to pay close attention to today’s devotional as I will be shedding more light on our focus verse.

Asides that God sees you when you do good things, and of course bad things, another reason you shouldn’t get yourself involved in bad things is that, they will get you in trouble.

There is never an escape route after choosing to do something wrong, the truth will always be exposed and you will get in trouble. It’s even worse when you are caught in the act or you are found out.

See what the bible says;

the evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast.

If you continue disobeying what you are told to do, your actions will get you in trouble.

The only way out, and the solution to not getting in trouble is following instructions, and if you follow instructions, it shows that you are disciplined.

Choose to be a disciplined child at all times, obey your parents, do what is right at the right time, and you will be glad you did.

PRAYER:
Father in Jesus name, I receive grace to do the right thing all the time; Amen

ACTION PLAN:
Choose to be deliberate about what you say

DECLARATION:
I am a good child, I am wise, and obedient.

You Can’t Do It Alone

You Can’t Do It Alone

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It is good to get people in your life. This is because no one is an island. In this life, you can’t do it alone, so learn how to have good associations.

What areas can you involve people?

We will look at goal-setting this morning.

You can tell others about your goals. Doing so is not to make you look holy or think less of those who don’t have goals like you. 

When people know your goals, they could offer encouragement and support.

You want to start studying the bible and you tell your parents, they could offer to remind you daily to study, as well as ask you questions about what you have read – start up a discussion where you will learn more from them or offer you materials that could help you study well. 

Goal setting is best achieved when you have the help, support, and encouragement of others. Why? When your goals seem unachievable, you aren’t too sure about them anymore and feel like giving up totally on them, you will need people to help you. 

The Ethiopian eunuch was reading from the book of Isaiah and didn’t understand what it was about. It took the Holy Spirit sending Phillip to him before he could understand, after which he gave his life to Christ.

What do you think the eunuch would have done if Phillip hadn’t come? He probably would have just given up.

Phillip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?’ He answered, “How can I understand? I need someone to explain it to me!” Then he invited Phillip to climb in and sit with him (Acts 30-31).

Do not go on a solo ride in goal setting. Involve God and others.

God bless you.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to understand that I don’t have to do this alone. Help me involve others. Lead me to the right people and help me accept their advice and support. Amen

Action point:
Are there people who can support, encourage, and help you with your goals? If not, prayerfully ask God to show them to you.

Declaration:

I am surrounded by the right set of people. God helps me to set and achieve my goals.
