Our lesson today is about how God is our Lord and He wants to be King of our
lives. Our text is:
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your
soul,
and with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Mark 12:30).
If we are to love God as the text says, then we must first ask Jesus to come
into our hearts as our Saviour and Best Friend. And then God will be
King of our hearts. Next we must ask God to fill us with the Holy
Spirit. The Bible says that our bodies are to be the temple of the
Holy Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 ). This makes God the King of our
bodies (our soul).
The Bible tells us not to think about bad things, but to always think about
good things ( Philippians 4:8 ). If we do this, we then make God the
King of our minds. Lastly, we need to serve God with all our heart
so that we can please Him in all we do. We need to do this with all
our strength. And so make God the King of our strength!
Now we can see that God is King four times in our lives! Here are four
things that God wants to be in your life. Read them out loud:
God is the King of my heart.
God is the King of my soul.
God is the King of my mind.
God is the King of my strength.
This is how God wants to work out plan to become Lord and King over all our
lives. When He completes this work we will truly be able to show the
love of Jesus to everyone we meet. Here are four things that God wants in
your life. Read them out loud:
My heart loving only Jesus.
My life given to Jesus.
My mind thinking about Jesus.
My strength used for Jesus
Say these four things as a prayer every day, until God makes your life fully
like this.
God bless!
