MESSAGE

In the church today, some people serve God to gain public recognition or material rewards from their leaders; I don’t want you to cultivate such bad character from your youth. Today’s memory verse says: “in all things he might have the preeminence”, that is, Jesus must be the centre of your life’s pursuits, ambitions and actions; He must take all the accolades. However, it’s rather unfortunate that some young people want to take the place of God. For example, they lobby for positions and titles in their schools, fellowships or offices, take on assignments that will make them to be perceived as relevant, and usually want to take the glory for all their achievements.

Don’t be caught in this web of pride that got satan expelled from Heaven and caused Herod to be eaten up by worms instantly. Whatever you have achieved so far is a result of the mercy you have received from God. Please, give Him all the glory.

ACTION POINT:

Identify five major achievements of yours and thank God for helping you achieve them.

HYMN 21 – I Want To Be Like Jesus

  1. I want to be like Jesus,
    So lowly and so meek;
    For no one mark’d an angry word,
    That ever heard Him speak,
  2. I want to be like Jesus,
    So frequently in prayer;
    Alone upon the mountain top,
    He met his Father there.
  3. I want to be like Jesus,
    I never, never find
    That He, though persecuted was
    To anyone unkind.
  4. I want to be like Jesus,
    Engaged in doing good;
    So that of me it may be said
    “He hath done what he could.”
  5. I want to be like Jesus,
    Who sweetly said to all,
    “Let little children come to Me;”
    I would obey the call.
  6. But oh I’m not like Jesus,
    As anyone may see;
    O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
    And make me like to Thee
