JHS LAMPSTAND FELLOWSHIP | August 7, 2026
This week, our JHS students gathered for another meaningful Lampstand Fellowship, with the topic “Devotion”, taught by Mentor Kelly Faith B. Jasmin.
Devotion is more than simply reading the Bible. It is about building and strengthening our relationship with God every day—knowing Him, growing in Him, and allowing His Word to guide the way we live.
Mentor Kelly described devotion as:
S - Scripture
O- Observation
A - Application
P - Prayer
The Bible helps strengthen our relationship with God in three important ways:
1️⃣ It helps us KNOW GOD BETTER.
Through His Word, we discover who God is—His character, His nature, His promises, and His heart toward us. The more we know God, the more we learn to trust and follow Him.
“So faith comes from hearing the Good News…” — Romans 10:17
2️⃣ It helps us GROW SPIRITUALLY.
Just as a newborn baby needs milk to grow, we need the Word of God to become spiritually strong. We should develop a hunger for God's Word and continually seek it.
“Like newborn babies, you should long for the pure milk of God’s word…” — 1 Peter 2:2–3
The more we read and obey God's Word, the stronger our faith becomes.
3️⃣ It helps us LIVE THE LIFE GOD WANTS FOR US.
God's Word teaches us how to live according to His will. It reminds us of His ways and helps us guard our hearts and choices. Devotion is not only about knowing God's Word—it is about putting His Word into practice.
“How can a young person live a pure life? By obeying your word.” — Psalm 119:9
Devotion is a daily decision.
We don't read the Bible merely to finish a chapter or fulfill a routine. We read it because we want to know God, grow spiritually, and live a life that pleases Him.
As young people, may we learn to make God's Word a part of our everyday lives. A strong relationship with God is built one day, one prayer, one verse, and one act of obedience at a time.
“God’s Word helps us grow in our relationship with Him every day.”
