Message
A pledge is a solemn promise or undertaking to be patriotic, faithful, loyal, honest and obedient. In this context today, the pledge is to God our Creator that you will be faithful, loyal and obedient to Him always. There are young people in the Bible who pledged to God and they were faithful to their commitments. Examples were Joseph, Samuel, Ezra, Daniel, Timothy, Philip the evangelist’s daughters and many others. Today, the Lord is looking for children who will make similar pledge to obey and walk according to His word. He wants His name to be glorified in your life.

Prayer for today: Lord, today I pledge to obey Your word diligently to the end of my life.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
