Welcome to Nehemiah Christian Academy
Back to School Tools
Would you like to know the best back-to-school item to have for a profitable
year for education? No, it’s not a new computer, and it’s not a new
microscope, math manipulative, or the latest educational games. In fact, you may be surprised to learn
that the most effective tool you have is simply the positive words used to
encourage you as a student. No high-tech gadget or apparatus can ever leave as
profound an effect on a student's education as saying things like, “Wow, you
did a great job on that test!” and “How did you learn that so quickly?” Though
it seems too good to be true, affirming you as a student with words of praise is the quickest way to motivate you to
higher academic achievement. As Christians, God also knows how encouraging words will help us
achieve success in our spiritual walk. Repeatedly, His Word provides the words
we need to hear to encourage us through life’s hardest lessons. Read His
promises to those who are in Christ Jesus:
“Nay, in all these things we
are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37).
“Ye
are of God, little children,
and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in
the world” (1 John 4:4).
“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the
victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).Do you find yourself apprehensive as you face a new school year? Don’t
despair. The tool that will help you achieve academic success is the
same tool God uses to help us all. The King of the universe loves you and will
encourage you to achieve even more than you dreamed possible. “But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, hHe
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever
I have said unto you” (John 14:26).
Lord, thank You for Your
encouraging words that fill me with hope and joy. Please, help me to seek You
each day as we homeschool to achieve all You have planned for our family. In the
name of Jesus, Amen. May God Bless James & Dr. Monica Lewis, Ed. D. (abd) Directors NOA
