JESUS ABUNDANCE FILL
MY LIFE EVERYDAY
HOOK
Materials: An empty jar, a (larger) pouring jar with
water, a cloth or napkin, a straw
Put the empty jar on top of the cloth/napkin
Tell the kids that the aim of the game is to pour as
much water into the empty jar without it spilling over.
For older kids, can get them to take turns pouring
in water.
For younger kids, the teacher can do it for them.
The tricky part is when the water reaches almost to
the brim of the jar.
By then, can use the straw to drop water into the jar bit
by bit.
Game/illustration ends when the jar overflows.
In this illustration, we see how much is really
needed to make a cup overflow.
Do you know our lives are a cup too?
A cup full of
God’s life, goodness and blessings.
And do you know, our cups are not just half full or
half empty.
It’s not even full to the brim. It’s overflowing. Not by a trickle
or a drop, but in abundance.
Imagine holding your cup under a waterfall.
What
happens?
The water is just gushing in and gushing out. It’s never ending. And
never run out.
That’s what life is when you have Jesus in you.
SONG:
Running over, running over,
My cup's full and running over.
Since the Lord saved me
I can be happy as can be,
My cup's full and running over.
LESSON : JESUS' ABUNDANCE FILLS MY LIFE EVERYDAY
(Psalm 23:5a)
Psalm 23:5c-6:
My cup overflows
Surely your
goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in
the house of the LORD forever.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO A
SHEEP?
Sheep need fresh water. Sheep drink water from
streams or lakes. However, the water may be polluted/not clean.
Besides streams of quiet water, the shepherd would
also bring fresh water to troughs or buckets for sheep to drink, as it is being
practised/ done by shepherds today.
David's sheep water troughs were never empty. They
were always full and overflowed. David was a good shepherd over his sheep.
The shepherd always cares of his sheep. All the
sheep has to do is to follow the shepherd and all its needs are taken care of.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME?
My Good Shepherd’s supply
always overflows
E.g. Jesus feeding the 5000 and more with a boy's
lunch of 5 loaves & 2 fish. They ended up with 12 baskets of loaves
leftover. (John 6:13)
Simon Peter and some other disciples went fishing
all night but caught nothing. Jesus came to them and they caught so many large
fish that they could not to draw the net up (John 21:3-6)
Our Lord gives us exceedingly abundantly above all
that we asked for or imagined (Ephesians 3:20).
My Good Shepherd, Jesus, is
the fresh and living water
John 4:13-14 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I
give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Jesus gives us everlasting
life and meets all our needs. (I lack nothing)
I
do not need to look elsewhere because I am satisfied in Christ Jesus. (I thirst
no more)
Jesus,
living in us, makes us become a fountain of water that overflows, a fountain of
abundant life. He blesses us so much that we become a blessing to others around
us.
As I follow my Good
Shepherd, His goodness and mercy follows me all the days of my life.
Just
as if we keep under the waterfall, our cup will keep being filled and
overflowing.
So as we walk with the Good Shepherd, we don’t have
to chase after God’s blessings. Instead, His blessings, His goodness, His mercy
and His favour chases after us all the days of our lives and overflows to all
around us.
All
the days of my life: not just some days, not just “good” days but every day!
God is good to me …
CONCLUSION:
So
far, in our journey through Psalm 23, we’ve learnt that we have a Good Shepherd
who:
·
provides everything we need
·
invites us to rest in Him
·
gives us new life
·
guides us along the right paths
·
is with us through the darkest valleys
·
protects and keeps us safe with His rod and staff
·
prepares a table for us in the midst of our enemies
·
anoints our heads with oil
·
overflows our cup
·
and fills all our days with His goodness and mercy.
