Title: Impact

MEMORIZE: Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 (NKJV)

BIBLE READING 1 JOHN 2:6 (NKJV)

[6] He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

MESSAGE:

Life is all about impact. Impact means to have a direct effect on something or someone. This connotes that if you are always in the company of someone, the person will have an impact on you and vice versa.

For instance, when Jesus was to be arrested and crucified, Judas needed to kiss Him before the soldiers could identify Him among His disciples. Jesus had rubbed off on them so much that they all looked alike.

There’s an adage that says: “Show me your friend, and I will tell you who you are.” The truth is, you may never be able to rise above those you surround yourself with. Therefore, it is very important to surround yourself with people who have the same goals as you and who can also positively impact you.

In the same vein, you should have a positive impact on the people around you, hence, you need to feed your mind with positive thoughts from godly materials, and have a ready heart to share good lessons with those around you.

ACTION POINT

Today is Mummy G.O’s birthday. Please pray that God will continually make her life impactful in Jesus’ name, Amen.

HYMN 19: JESUS LOVES ME! THIS I KNOW

  1. Jesus loves me! this I know,
    For the Bible tells me so;
    Little ones to Him belong;
    They are weak, but He is strong.

CHORUS
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me,
The Bible tells me so.

  1. Jesus loves me He who died,
    Heaven’s gate to open wide,
    He will wash away my sin,
    Let His little child come in.
  2. Jesus loves me, loves me still,
    Tho’ I’m very weak and ill
    From His shining throne on high
    He will watch me where I lie.
  3. Jesus loves me He will stay
    Close beside me all the way,
    If I love Him when I die
    He will take me home on high.
