CHILD FRIENDLY PRESENTATION!

Ephesians 5:27 “That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendour, without spot or wrinkle or any such things \[that she might be holy and faultless].”

 

Have you ever seen something and said, “Wow! That looks amazing!” Maybe a shiny toy, a beautiful cake, or a neat classroom? That’s because of presentation—how something is shown.

What is presentation? 

Presentation means showing something in a way that makes it look nice, neat, and attractive. It’s like when you wrap a gift in pretty paper or set the table nicely for guests.

How do you present yourself?

As children of God, we should think:

Am I showing Jesus in the right way?

Do people see kindness, love, and joy in me?

Jesus wants to present us to God in a beautiful way—holy, clean, and full of His love. That’s why the Bible says He will present the church in splendour—that means shining and glorious!

Why does presentation matter?

When you go to school, you try to look neat, right? When you do your homework, you make it tidy. We spend time making things look good for teachers, friends, and even parties. 

But do we spend time making our hearts and lives look good for God?

Everything we do—our words, clothes, attitude—should show Jesus. People should see God’s love in us and say, “Wow! I want to know Jesus too!”

Moses had to present God’s message to Pharaoh in the right way (Exodus 10:1).

In the temple, everything was presented neatly for God (Hebrews 9:2).

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

-        Do I show Jesus in my words and actions every day?

-        Does my attitude make people want to know God?

-        How can I plan to show Jesus better this year?

PRAYER: Father, help me to live in a way that shows Your love and makes You happy. Help me present You well in everything I do. 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. ...
