Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4-9
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Bible Reading In One Year: Proverbs 1718; 2 Corinthians 2:1-17
MESSAGE:
Addiction to Jesus has no harmful effect at all, rather, the addict would have a beautiful life here on earth and then eternal life in heaven. A Jesus addict is one who is deeply in love with Jesus. 1 John 4:1 9 says: We love Him because He first loved us. A Jesus addict talks about Jesus all the time. Believe me honestly, it is not difficult to recognise a Jesus addict; his group of friends are people of like minds, his speech is refined and seasoned with salt, no foul language and worldly slangs. Even the inscription on the T-shirt he wears tells you about him. When you go through the storage of music on his phone, you will not find ungodly songs in it. His library of books point you to Jesus.
It is very easy to be a Jesus addict. First, accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour, then, study the Bible and obey whatever God asks you to do. When you do these, Jesus will take over your life and when He does that, you will be best amongst your peers and achieve good success.
Prayer Point:
Jesus, please help me to grow in love with you.
Hymn: There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing
1. There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Chorus:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2. There shall be showers of blessing
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
3. There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy Word.
4. There shall be showers of blessing;
O that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
5. There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.
