TOPIC: PRECIOUS, BUT FRAGILE!
Read Mark 10:13-16
[13]And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.[14]But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.[15]Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.[16]And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
MEMORISE: And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them (Mark 10:16)
EXPOSITION
Our Lord Jesus Christ did not hide His love and passion for children. It was (and it is) obvious that He loves them dearly. Children are precious in the sight of God, and they should be seen as such. How would you handle anything precious to you? Despite the fact that your gold and silver are precious because they are priceless (Psa. 127:3).
We must care for children at home, church, school, and the entire society. Any home, church, school or nation that neglects the little ones, toys with their future (Prov. 22:6). Children, who are uncared for, become menace and miscreants to posterity! They become terrors and threats to the peace of the society! You, as an individual parent, teacher (school or church) or any other handler directly dealing with children, must play your role towards raising future generation that will glorify God (Matt. 19:4). You should sow good and enduring seeds in these ones because you will reap whatever you sow (Gal. 6:7).
There had been teachers who trained their pupils well while in school, only for those children to come and pay them back, handsomely, in various forms. What if they had sown evil seeds in them? May be one of those would have become a notorious criminal, who would be hunting the society! The little ones are so precious as well as fragile. Don’t let any evil through you, or under your watch, be planted in these dear ones, God helping you. Pastors and parents – please learn from the parents of Moses and Samuel.
PRAYER POINTS
1. My children (biologically and spiritually) shall not become sources of sorrow to me, in Jesus’ name.
2. Lord, I refuse to be an agent of future destroyers in the lives of the little ones.
3. Pray for nursing mothers, for the divine grace to properly take care of their babies.
