 hope you brought your friend. We are asking, safe in Jesus. Our message for today is God leads. Our memory verse is from Romans 8.14. And it says, spirit of God as the children of God. This day, as we are beginning this new day of God, please may you be with us. And we will give you photos of the Bible. It is in Jesus' name a pre-Amen. Good morning children. We are glad again to get a chance to come and study God's words together. It is a good opportunity for us to learn how to get treasures from the Bible. Now, today's theme is very interesting, how we become children of God. Now, before we start, I'd like us to pray. Father in heaven, we thank you so much that you have given us the privilege that we can be called children of God. I pray that as we read from the Bible, we will be able to understand how we become children of God and how to follow you all the days of our lives. We thank you so much for Jesus Christ because we pray believing and trusting in his name, Amen. The book of Romans is a very interesting book. It was written by an apostle who was called Paul. Paul wrote in the book of Romans chapter 8, verse number 14. This is going to be our thought of reflection today. For as many as are led of the spirit of God, they are called God's children or they are sons of God or they are daughters of God. So anyone who accepts to be led by the spirit of God, he becomes a child of God. It is very, very important that we know that we can become children of God. By the way, let me tell you something. God loves us more than our parents love us. God's love for us is much, much more than any person can ever love us in this world. That is why it is important that even though we are children of our parents, we also become children of God. And the Bible says that as many as are led of the spirit of God, they become children of God or they become sons and daughters of God. Now, long time ago, Jesus came to this world. When Jesus came, the Bible tells us that he came to this world. This world was made by him. He made everything in this world. But imagine, the world did not receive him. The world did not know him. That is why they wanted to stone him. That is why they crucified him. They did not know him, but he made this world. Then the Bible says, he came to his own people, but his own people did not receive him. That is found in the book of John chapter 1, verse number 9, 10. Now we are reading verse number 11. The Bible says, but as many as received him, to them he gave them power to become children of God. Now, you know what that power is? He gave them the Holy Spirit in their hearts that they may become children of God. And the Bible says in verse number 12, these are they which were not born of the flesh. That means they were not born by mommy and daddy. These are they that were not born of the will of man. These are they that were born of the spirit of God. So the people who are born by God's spirit, the people who have accepted Jesus Christ and are listening to his spirit, these become children of God. As the Bible says, because even when Jesus Christ came, many people refused to accept him. But as many as received him, he gave them power to become the children of God. So it is possible that today we can receive the spirit of God and become his children. Now, let us go back to the book of Romans, Romans chapter 8. We read verse number 14 which says, wherefore, as many as many as are led of the spirit, they are God's children. Now, verse number 15 says, for we have not received the spirit, we have not received again the spirit of bondage to fear. Now, we are not afraid anymore because we have been born by the Holy Spirit. We cannot be afraid, but the spirit of adoption. That means when we did not accept that Jesus Christ is our Lord, when we did not accept that Jesus Christ is our friend, when we did not accept that Jesus Christ is our brother, when we did not accept that God is our Father, then we were not the children of God. But when we have accepted, we become children of God. That is why the Bible says, we have not received the spirit of bondage again so that we are afraid of God, but a spirit of adoption. Now we can cry to God, Abba, Father, now we can call God Father. Remember, when Jesus Christ was in trouble, when you read the book of Matthew chapter 26, when you read verse number, I think it is verse number 42, when Jesus Christ was in trouble, he went to the Garden of Gethsemane and as he was praying in Gethsemane, he kept asking God, God, please, I don't want to be crucified on the cross. I don't want to face the death on the cross. If it is possible, let this cup pass from me, but nevertheless, let your will be done. So Jesus Christ, when he was in the Garden of Gethsemane, he was calling God his Father. So we too can also call God our Father. That is why Paul says, now we can call God, we can cry to God, Abba, Father. By the way, do you remember when Christ was crucified? When he was on the cross of Calvary and he was hanging on the cross and then the world became so dark and there was a great earthquake. He cried, Father, Father, why have you forsaken me? Now, dear children, any time we are in trouble, we also can cry to God, Father, Father, please forgive me if we have done something wrong. If we have not done anything wrong, we can also cry, Father, Father, we love you because he does many good things for us. Therefore, Paul says, we have not received the spirit of bondage that we are afraid all the time, but we have received the spirit of adoption. Now we can cry to God, Abba, Father, because we are led by the spirit of God. My friends, dear children and everyone else who is listening, we must accept to be led by the spirit of God. Then we will become the children of God, all of us. And when we become the children of God, Paul continues to say that the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, which we cannot see, but we only know that we are led by the spirit of God if we do good things. If we don't like fighting, if we don't like taking other people's things, if mommy and daddy gives us something to do, we do it and we respect our teachers and we respect our elders. Then we know we are children of God. So the Bible says that the people who are led by the spirit of God and they become the children of God, even our spirit confirms, or our hearts confirm that indeed we are led by the spirit of God. Therefore, we become heirs of God, verse number 17. We can inherit God's things like Jesus Christ inherited God's things and we can also inherit glory like Jesus Christ inherited glory and is seated with God on the right hand side of the throne of heaven. My friends, it is possible to become God's children and then we will become heirs of God's kingdom because God is our Father, everything belongs to Him. Then we will be able to inherit everything. Children, from today I want to pray with you that we will truly become God's children so that if anything is happening around us, we are not afraid. Even if corona is affecting many people, we are not afraid because everything works together for good to them that are the children of God. So my friends, I'd like to pray with you today that we all may become children of God led by the spirit of God. Going back to our key text, Romans chapter 8, verse number 14. Wherefore, as many as are led by the spirit of God, they become the children of God. May the spirit of God lead you today. Even as you go through the whole program of the day, let us pray. Father in heaven, thank you so much because the Bible says to us, we can call you Father. We pray, Father, that today you will be with us. Guide us and lead us from all harm and danger. May we be protected from evil. And Father, we pray that when you come again a second time, Lord, we will be able to inherit the kingdom of heaven, which is you have prepared for everyone that loves you and for all of your children. Lord, as we go through the program of today, may the Holy Spirit lead us and help us to understand and to be able to obey everything that you tell us. Pray this. We're living and trusting in the name of Jesus. We pray. Amen. God bless you and God be with you today. Welcome back to the Bible station. Before we start, let's bow down for word of prayer. Our kind and heavenly Father, we thank you a lot for today. Two of the treasures of the Bible. Before we start our Bible station, we ask you a lot to guide us through it. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Now, who remembers the theme of treasures of 2020? Yes, rescued safe in Jesus. And the theme for yesterday was God calls. Now, do you remember Noah promised to be back and tell us more about the ark? Let's go meet Noah. But you're not Noah? No, I'm not Noah. I'm his wife. Oh, I was expecting Noah. He said he'll be back to tell us adventures with the ark. If he said that he would be back here again, then he will be back. Did he happen to say when exactly he would be back here again? Did he mention that? No, he didn't mention that. Well, if he's not here, I am. If you look carefully at your schedule, you'll see right there that it says Noah's wife. That's me. Oh, you're right. There it is on the schedule. Noah's wife. But now, who does Noah's wife know? Oh, no, no, no. Please stay, please stay. It's just that things aren't the way I thought they would be. So it takes me a bit of time to adjust. Oh, I know what that feels like. Imagine how I felt when Noah came home one day and told me that God had told him that in 120 years, the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood. I had to build an ark so that he could save all the people and the animals that would come inside it. And that's not even enough. Noah had to be the one to preach this message of the flood to everyone so that they could come inside. I guess that was not exactly what you had planned for 120 years. Oh, absolutely not. I just wanted to take long walks, to raise my children and just be a normal wife. Of course. Building this ark and stocking it with food was going to be a huge, huge job and it was going to be very expensive too. And how are we even going to get all those cheaters into the ark? And what about preaching to the people to warn them about this coming flood? Oh, let me just say that the people were already calling Noah a loser because he believed in the one true God and because he was just a good man. It was going to be a really, really tough job. So are you telling me you had reservations? Who? Me? Reservations? Oh no. In fact, when Noah told me, I told him we've got a lot of work to do. We better get started. Wow. Wow. So you decided to follow God at a moment's notice. You know as wife, you are such a good woman. In fact, tell me more. But of course, now Noah remembered everything that God had told him about building this ark. Look, he even drew some sketches. Now, come, let me show you some more. This ark was going to be 300 qubits long. It was going to be 50 qubits wide and absolutely 30 qubits long. Yes? You look confused. You don't know what a qubit is, right? Qubiangor, as well as centimeters and meters. Actually, one, two, that is two meters. You girls of these days, what do you know? What could be much better to use than a qubit? Bailey, hold your arm out. No, no, no, like that. Hold your arm out. I'm holding. You don't even seem to know what to do. Boys and girls, it might really help if you did it with Bailey. Hold your arm out like this, bend it at the elbow with your fingers pointing to the ceiling. Now, from the elbow to the fingertip is one qubit. See, mine is short, yours is long. And that is longer. And Noah's might have even been longer. So they vary in length at one qubit. Bailey, let me explain this to you. You see, God had given Noah the exact measurements to use and they were just right for Noah using his own arm. On top of that, he did not need to carry a measuring rod with him because anyway, he always had his arm right there with him. Anyway, I was trying to tell you about this arc. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Now, Noah, how old do you think Noah was when he began building this arc? 28, 30. Oh Bailey, if my son Shem was 98 years old during that time, how old, how could Noah be 20 years old at that time? So how old was he? Oh, Noah was almost 500 years old. 500? Yes, 500. Now, but he was a big, strong, healthy man whose arm measured a big, strong, healthy qubit. Now, let me tell you some more. God designed that this arc would be stable even in the rough seas. The arc was going to be three stories high and it would have so many rooms for the people, the animals and of course, the food. Now, this arc was made of gopher wood and it had a special material both on the inside and on the outside. This material was called pitch and it helped make this arc watertight. Let's see. With these 300 qubits of yours, three stories high with a lot and lots of rooms and cages. You also said you had to stock it with food. I guess being given 120 years was a good thing. Oh, of course. We had no time to waste. We began right there and then. Crowds of people came from all over to view Noah's arc. It was quite a traditional attraction. Noah would always warn these people about the coming flood and invite them into the arc with us. Now, during this 120 years, Noah and I had three sons. That was Shem. They had working just like his father. That was Ham. Ham like the food. Oh no, but he did love food. And that was Japheth, my last born. As they grew up, they helped their father to build the arc. Later on, however, we needed to hire more workers. You can imagine how much that work was. Cutting the cheese, holding them and then, of course, building the arc. It was going to be quite a lot of work. Did your sons have any friends? Oh, sure they did. I remember my first born son, Shem. He had this one special friend who was called Jareel. They played together all the time when they were little. Later on, Noah had to hire Jareel to help us build the arc. Now, unfortunately, Shem and Jareel drifted apart as they grew older. We from the future are sorry to hear that. So, Noah had 120 years to build the arc. What were you doing all the time? Oh, Bailey, I thought you'd never ask. Now, during those 120 years, I raised my three sons, I ran my household and you can imagine I cooked so much food for all the people. Now, as those 120 years almost came to an end, I planned and started stocking the arc with food for all the people and animals we hoped would get into the arc with us. I imagine planning meals to prepare on a boat. From stored food is a lot different. From cooking fresh food at home. How did you know what to do? Well, all I can say is that God leads. God leads. That sounds so familiar. God leads. That is a theme for today, children. Oh, yeah. And Noah might have told you, I texted my friend, Professor Facile Rax, to ask her how she knew what to do when God called her. Look at what she answered. God leads. And also, she texted me a Bible verse. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans chapter 8 verse 14. I will say that again. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans chapter 8 verse 14. Well, I really don't know who or what Romans is, but I meant what you just said. But that thing in your hand, it has to be the strangest thing I've ever seen in my life. She doesn't know what her phone is. Hey, why don't you text your friend something hard like, who can get us out of an impossible situation? That might stump her. In fact, I will do that right now. Oh, I'm sorry. I might have got any off track. You were telling me everything you did during those 120 years. Oh, yes, yes. Those 120 years, they had to be the longest years of my life. But they did eventually come to an end. Just like our time together here has come to an end, I'm afraid. I've got a whole list, at least a qubit long of things to do today. Um, there, send. This is the second day of the family story, and you are not even on the arc yet. I'm getting a bit anxious. Would you tell us more next time? Oh, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey. Yes? Please look at your schedule. My son, Shem, will be here next. And yes, he'll get you right on the arc. Our family is always on time, and that should make you glad. Oh, I see, it's sure. Well, thank you for sharing your time with us today. Oh, it was my pleasure. Bye, kids. I just love children. Oh, bye. What was her name again? Oops. Well, it is time for... Steve, teacher Steve is not there. Teacher John is not there. Well, I think we won't have Bible activity today. Bye, kids. The Lord told Noah there's going to be a bloody, bloody Lord told Noah there's going to be a bloody, bloody get those children out the muddy, muddy children of the Lord. Hi, Bailey. Hi, teacher Steve. How are you? I'm fine. I was not today. Oh, well, I didn't meet Noah, but I didn't meet him today. I met Noah's wife, though. Very interesting. Noah's wife was here. Imagine. Cooking. She was cooking, cutting. You had an interview? Yes, we did. Will you tell me if I come? Oh, yes, please. Say hi to teacher John. Hi, teacher John. Hi, Maggie. How are you? Fine, thank you. Say bye to the children as we take over the activity. Children, I hope it was fun, interviewing Mrs. No. It's time for our activity. Come along with me. Remember what we did yesterday? I know you do. Here is our activity station. Yesterday, we had our theme for the day, God calls. And then we had our memory verse, or key text of yesterday, from the book of 1 Corinthians, chapter one, verse nine. And we had activity here. We wrote everything on a whiteboard and we grabbed it upwards so that we could memorize everything. I do remember the verse. If I don't read this one, if I block it for you, will you remember? Who can remember? Okay, I can remember it. And I will recite exactly how it was yesterday. It says, God is faithful by whom you are called into the fellowship of his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Clap for me. Today is day two. Our theme is God leads. God does what? God leads. Our verse for today, Romans chapter eight, verse 14. This one is a new verse for today. We will read together. I won't block anything. Let us read together. For as many as are led by the spirit of God, these are sons of God. Well done. These will form part of our activity today with Teacher John. We go back. Teacher John. Yes, Teacher Steve. Were you here yesterday? Yes, I was. Do you remember the verse for yesterday? No. Now, if you can't remember, choose any child from any class to help you. Which class do you prefer? Alitins, Alitins class, yes. A child. Anybody there? Naima. Naima. You never get this? Let's see. Let's see. But I said it. I said it, so she will get it. I can't repeat. First Corinthians chapter one, verse nine, and it says, God is faithful by whom you are called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. I know Naima got it. Now, Teacher John, for today. Yes. Do we have a verse for today? Yes, we do, Teacher Steve. Which verse? It is Romans chapter eight, verse 14. Do you have it off? Are you ready? Yes, I do. Fantastic. You are the best teacher. What does it say? It says, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Teacher John, you are shining for Jesus. Now, I want to confuse you a little bit. You said, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Yes. Which word comes after many? After many, after many, after many, after many. Ask, ask, ask. Yes, Teacher. Teacher John, you are shining. Yes. Correct. You got it. Do you have a question for me? Yes, I have a question. Which word follows R? R, R, R, R. Let's see. Let's see. Can I ask a child to help me? Please do. Please do. Which class? Primary A. Which child? Barack. Barack will help me. Which word in our verse today comes after R? R. No, Barack will get it. But even me, I already have it. Can I say? Say, say. God. Correct. No, that is wrong. Teacher Steve. Help me. Teacher Steve, you have got it wrong. The right answer is led for as many as are led by the spirit of God. Teacher Steve. Tomorrow, if we do a rickam, I won't forget anything. You had better not forget, Teacher Steve. I will not forget. Now children, as we come to the end of our activity today, I hope it was a blessing interviewing Mrs. Noa and Baile was here. Our activity has been memorizing the book of Romans chapter 8 verse 14. I have it right here. Teacher John has it in his memory. I will recite the one for yesterday. Teacher John will take the one for today. You don't forget these verses. We have to memorize them for the five days. So that on Sabbath, we are well equipped with the Word of God. I will take the one for yesterday. Then after me, Teacher John will take the one for today. It says, 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 9. God is faithful by whom you are called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Well done, Teacher Steve. Teacher John, take the one for today. For today, children, it's from Romans chapter 8 verse 14. And it says, for as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Amen, Teacher Steve. Amen. Now, Teacher John. Yes, Teacher Steve. God called Noah. Then God gave Noah all the instructions on how to make the ark. But Noah was wondering how. He accepted God's call. Yesterday was God calls. Calls. Then when he accepted, God led him. Very true. So this morning, we are encouraging our children to accept God's call. Because when he calls, who will lead? God will lead Teacher Steve. Yes, he will. Joshua? A hundred percent. Like he led who? Noah. Accept God's call. According to his word, he will lead you. If he calls, accept, he will lead you. We will have three more. Bye-bye. Bye. See you tomorrow.
