This Week’s Memory Verse

I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

Genesis 12:2 (NIV)

The Promise

Hey Kids!

Did you know that whoever God calls to do great things for Him, He first gives them a powerful promise?  Yeah, when you know that you belong to God and you say “Yes!” to God, He will give you a powerful & the most hugest promise anyone can ever give to you.  It’s a promise no one else can make happen, only God can do it.  It’s so huge, it will blow your mind!

Like Abraham, our superhero for this month, God promised to make him a father of a great nation.  This means that God was going to give him many children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great, great-grandchildren, and many great, great, great children to make a great nation!  You know like the United States of America is our great nation of 326 million people!  So just imagine he promised Abraham that his family would be something huge like our nation of 326 million people!!!  Can you imagine having 326 million skittles in your house or car? Wowza, that’s a lot!!  

Sounds easy, like one plus one equals two.  I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I say “yes!” to God, and He gives me a promise!  It is not as easy as it sounds.  God will give you a powerful promise, but will you believe Him no matter what happens?  Will you be able to praise God for the promise even when it doesn’t look like it is ever going to happen?  And will you obey God?

God shows you it is possible in Abraham’s life.  When God gave him his gigantic promise, it looked impossible.  How would Abraham be made into a great nation when he had zero children!!!  Yes, you heard right, a big zero!  And guess what, Abraham was very old, 100 years old and his wife Sarai was old too, 90 years old!!  No way, could they have children since they were too old!  It was impossible!!

But God told Abraham what he needed to do to have this huge promise!  And guess what, Abraham trusted God so much that he did not question the instructions that God gave him.  He simply followed and obeyed.

God told Abraham to get away from the people that stopped him from believing in the promise.  And he obeyed and left those people.  Are there friends that you hang out with that don’t believe in God or the Word of God which is God’s promises to you?  Or friends that do evil things? You gotta let them go.  

God told Abraham to stop looking at his impossible situation and look up and see the many stars in the sky.  God told him as many stars you see in the sky are as many children you will have.  And Abraham obeyed and kept looking at the stars to remind him of God’s promise to him.

God gave Abraham a new name meaning the father of multitudes.  And Abraham obeyed and received his new name.  So, every time someone said his name, Abraham heard he is a father of multitudes and it helped him to see himself as God promised.  

Abraham and Sarai believed God’s promises even when it looked impossible and no matter how long it took, they never quit believing God could make it happen. While they waited, they kept on praising God and that gave them God’s strength and power to see the promise before it even happened!  

What are God’s promises for you?  In our Bible Reading today, you will see some promises you can believe for yourself and your family.  Pick at least 1 or 2 or find your own in the Bible and place them in your journal or make a “Promise Book” and fill it with God’s promises for you!

Do these things every day at least 2 times a day:

1. Believe in God’s Promise for you.  Don’t question it will happen.

2. See God’s Promise happening in your life.  Draw or cut out pictures of God’s promise and place them where you can see them every day. 

3. Say God’s Promise out loud every day.

4. Never quit believing God’s Promise will happen in your life.

5. Praise God all the time for His Promise to you.

You are God’s hero as soon as you believe in God’s promises.
