DAY 2 - KIDS DEVO (ARTICLE)

Read

Bible reading for Day  | Isaiah 49:5-6

5 And now the LORD says,
he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him –
for I am honoured in the eyes of the LORD,
and my God has become my strength –
6 he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
I will make you as a light for the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”


Who is the “servant of the Lord”? Those who are loyal to Him and willing to obey His commands. All of us who are in Church are called to be servants of the Lord! This means we need to:

Shine the Light of Jesus in Singapore

We should serve our neighbours, friends and classmates – everyone around us – and share the Good News of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Shine the Light of Jesus in the Nations

Did you know? Many churches and missionaries from Singapore are already spreading the Gospel out to the nations, from nearby Timor-Leste to distant lands like Japan and even Ethiopia!

Discuss

1. Who has God placed in your life with whom you can share the Gospel?

2. Do you know of any missionaries, perhaps in your church? Which countries are they in? Share what you know about their lives abroad!

Pray

1. Pray for those around you who don’t know Jesus. Pray for the opportunity to tell them about Jesus!

2. Pray for the missionaries that you know. Pray that they are bold to share the Gospel, and are protected by the grace of God!
