Teachers
Only:
First of all, thank you soooo much for all
that you do! We are training up the next generation of Christians in this
classroom and it is such an honor to work along side each of you! Your
dedication and commitment does not go un-noticed!!!
This month we are talking to the kids about
the story of Noah’s Ark. This is a super fun story! There are so many fun ideas
to bring this story to life. The part that we want to bring home to these kids
is that “God keeps His promises” God promised Noah that He would establish a
covenant with him. He gave us a sign of His promise in the rainbow that He
would never flood the entire earth again. This month I encourage you, wherever
you are at in life, to stand on a promise of God for your situation. If your
struggling with sickness, stand on God’s promise in Deuteronomy 7:15 and Isaiah
53. If you are struggling with finances claim Luke 6:38. If you are struggling
with self-worth try 2 Cor 3:5 and Psalm 139. Whatever it may be, stand on God’s
promises, because “God keeps His promises!”
Before teaching this month, please familiarize yourself with the
following verses (and those surrounding them): Deuteronomy 7:9, Genesis
5:32-10:1
- Katrina
PRAY:
Lord, Thank you
that you do keep Your promises! I stand on the promises in Your Word for my
life and for the lives of these children. I ask You, Lord, to direct me as I
minister Your Word to these kids, I claim no competence in myself, but my
competence comes from You (2 Cor 3:5). I thank You for each child that You
would send to the classroom this week. I call them in from the North, South,
East and West. I ask You to show them each to me as through Your eyes, each
child fearfully and wonderfully made. I lack wisdom, Lord, and I ask you to
give me supernatural Wisdom in every situation and circumstance and throughout
the class. Thank you so much for entrusting me and enabling me. In Jesus name,
Amen.
