CHILD-FRIENDLY: WHAT QUALIFIED YOU?

Romans 5:7–9

Memory Verse “Not that we are competent in ourselves... but our competence comes from God.” 2 Corinthians 3:5

 

Qualification means being ready or able to do something. For example, you might need to pass a test to join a team or get a certificate to show you finished school. That’s a qualification!

But when it comes to God, being “qualified” is not just about what you can do or what you know. God looks at your heart—He cares about your love, faith, and willingness to obey Him.

What Makes Us Qualified for God?

- God doesn’t need us to be perfect or have special certificates.

- Jesus makes us right with God because He died for us. That’s what qualifies us!

- God gives us what we need to do His work, just like He helped Moses, David, and Esther.

- Our most important “qualification” is to trust God and be willing to listen and obey.

God is the one who makes us ready and able to do His work.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. When do you feel ready to do something new? Who helps you feel that way?

2. Why do you think God cares more about your heart than your skills?

3. How can you trust God to help you do things, even if you feel unqualified?

4. What is one thing you want to do for God, and how can you ask Him for help?

PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for loving me and making me ready to do good things. Help me to trust You and remember that Jesus makes me qualified. Give me courage to serve You and help others. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Shalom

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
