Topic: IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD

Memory Verse: John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Bible Reading: John 1:1-10

Message: The simple statement, “In the beginning was the Word…” is pregnant with many meanings. One of those meanings is that before anything that exists now ever existed, the Word was already existing. In other words, He saw the beginning of everything else since all things were made by Him (John 1:3).

The day you dedicate your new house, that is the beginning of your dwelling in that house, but the day you laid the foundation of the house was also another beginning. When the architect began to draw the plan of the house was another beginning while the day you —the Landlord — conceived the idea to build a house was also another beginning all together.

Humanly speaking, the day your Father and mother met together to produce you is another beginning of the house, because if you were not born, you would not have thought of building that house. Jeremiah 1:4-5 says that before God formed you, He knew you. Thus that house of yours started in the mind of God long before you were born. God had in His plan a house that you were going to build even before you were born. Thus, no matter what it is that exists, it has its root in God. This is good news for children of God because since He was in the beginning of everything and everything was made by Him, then everything is controlled by Him — The Word. Therefore, when you simply speak the word of God into any situation, you gain control over it.

Before the mountains were brought forth, He has been God (Psalm 90:1-2). This is why Mark 11:22-24 says that if you have faith, you can speak to any mountain and it will move. For example, if the mountain of sickness wants to bring you down, you uproot it with the word of God in Isaiah 53:5 that by Jesus’ stripes you are healed. If it is the mountain of failure, then you uproot it with the word in Deuteronomy 28:13 that says you shall be the head and not the tail. If it is the mountain of poverty threatening you, then you tell it the word in 2 Corinthians 8:9 that Jesus was made poor that you may be rich. The Word will grant you all-round victory in Jesus’ name.

Hymn: I Am So Glad That Our Father In Heav’n
Points: Search out what the Word says about that mountain in your path and begin to declare it in faith.
Bible in one year: 1 Samuel 19, 1 Samuel 20, 1 Samuel 21

Title: I Am so Glad That Our Father in Heaven.
Chorus: I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus love me,
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me..

  1. I am so glad that our Father in heaven

Tells of His love in the book He has given;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.

  2. Jesus loves me and I know I love Him; 

Love brought Him down my lost soul to redeem;
Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree:
Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me.

  3. In this assurance I find sweetest rest,

Trusting in Jesus I know I am blest;
Satan dismayed from my soul doth now flee
When I just tell him that Jesus loves me.

  4. Oh, if there's only one song I can sing,

When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus Loves me!”

  5. If one should ask of me, how can I tell?

Glory to Jesus, I know very well!
God’s Holy Spirit with mine doth agree,
Constantly witnessing-Jesus loves me.
