🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 77

Rooted & Raised

“The wise man built his house on the rock.”

— Matthew 7:24 (Paraphrased)

🏠 Rock or Sand?

Jesus told a story about two builders. One was smart—he listened to Jesus and obeyed. When a storm came, his house didn’t fall!

We’re building our lives, too. When we choose to obey Jesus, we’re building on rock—not sand.

🧠 Think About It:

  • What does it mean to obey Jesus like the wise man?
  • Can I obey Jesus even when it’s hard?

🙏 Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me listen to You and obey. I want my life to be strong like a house on a rock! Amen.

🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 76

Rooted & Raised

“Jesus will say, ‘Go away! I never knew you, because you didn’t obey Me.'”

— Matthew 7:23 (Paraphrased)

🚫 Just Saying “Lord” Isn’t Enough

Jesus wants us to do what He says, not just say nice things. If we say we love Him, we should show it by doing what’s right.

It’s like telling your parents, “I love you”—but then not listening when they ask you to clean your room or be kind. Real love listens and obeys.

🧠 Think About It:

  • What does it mean to obey Jesus?
  • Can I think of one way I’ll obey Him today?

🙏 Let’s Pray:

Jesus, I want to listen and obey You, not just talk about You. Please help me follow You every day. Amen.

😎 Kingdom Teen Devotional — Day 76

“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'”

— Matthew 7:23 NASB1995

🕳 When Faith Is Fake

Jesus makes it clear: there will be people who sound spiritual but lived like He never mattered. They said the right things, maybe even posted Bible quotes—but behind the scenes, they lived their own way.

Don’t be that person.

🎯 Self-Check:

  • Are there things I do that contradict God’s Word?
  • Do I want to be known by Jesus—or just admired by others?

🙏 Prayer:

Jesus, I don’t want a fake faith. I want the kind that changes me from the inside out. Help me to obey You when no one’s watching. Amen.

🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 75

Rooted & Raised

“Some people will say to Jesus, ‘Lord, we did good things in Your name!’ But He will say, ‘I never knew you.'”

— Matthew 7:22 (Paraphrased)

😕 Knowing About Him Isn’t Enough

You can go to church, sing songs, and even talk about Jesus—but do you know Him in your heart?

Jesus wants to be your best friend, not just someone you hear about. That means talking to Him, listening to Him, and doing what He says.

🧠 Think About It:

  • Do I really know Jesus?
  • How can I grow closer to Him today?

🙏 Let’s Pray:

Jesus, I want to know You—not just do things for You. Help me walk with You every day. Amen.

— Matthew 7:21 (Paraphrased)

🙋‍♀️ Actions Speak Loudly

Jesus said it’s not enough to say you love Him—you have to show it by doing what He says!

When you obey your parents, tell the truth, or share with others, you’re doing what makes God smile. He sees your heart and your actions!

🌟 Kingdom Tip:

Saying nice things is good—but doing the right thing shows your love for Jesus.

💬 Think About It:

“You will know them by their fruits.”

— Matthew 7:20 (Paraphrased)

🍌 People Show Who They Are

Jesus says you can tell who someone really is by what they do. Just like we know a tree is an apple tree because it grows apples!

If someone is kind, gentle, honest—that’s good fruit! And you can grow that too by staying close to Jesus.

🌟 Kingdom Tip:

Let Jesus help you grow fruit people can see—like sharing, helping, and telling the truth.

💬 Think About It:

  • What fruit did you show today?
  • Who can see Jesus in the way you live?

“If a tree doesn’t make good fruit, it gets chopped down.”

— Matthew 7:19 (Paraphrased)

✂️ Fruit or Firewood?

“A good tree gives good fruit. A bad tree gives bad fruit.”

— Matthew 7:18 (Paraphrased)

🍎 Fruit from the Heart

Jesus says we’re like trees. If our hearts are good, we’ll do good things! But if we’re mean or selfish, that shows something is wrong inside.

🌱 Kingdom Tip:

Ask Jesus to help your heart stay soft and full of love. That’s how you grow good fruit!

💬 Think About It:

  • What kind of “fruit” did you show today?
  • Did it help or hurt others?

Jesus, help my heart be like a good tree. I want to grow love, kindness, and truth. Amen.

🧒 Kids Devotional — Day 70

“Watch out for people who look kind but want to trick you. You can tell who they are by what they do.”

— Matthew 7:15–16 (Paraphrased)

🐺 Not All Sheep Are Safe

Jesus says some people pretend to be good, but really, they want to hurt others. They act nice—but their actions tell the truth.

🍎 Kingdom Tip:

Look at what someone does, not just what they say. A kind heart shows in kind actions.

💬 Think About It:

  • Has someone ever acted nice but did something mean?
  • How can we be sure to follow good examples?

✨ Let’s Pray:

Jesus, help me see what’s true. I want to follow people who really love You. Amen.
