Calling is not only in the ministry of drama, song, evangelism and others but as individuals we have primary calling.
the Lord has given us all according to the proportion we can actually handle.....
PARENTS OR BEING A PARENT TO SOME PEOPLE IS ONLY ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY AND THE POSITION OF AUTHORITY.
I WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT BEING A PARENT IS A MINISTRY ON IT'S OWN THAT WE HAVE TO HANDLE WITH CARE AND TOTAL DEDICATION. THE BIBLE SAYS IN
PSALMS127:4 THAT "LIKE ARROWS IN THE HANDS OF A WARRIOR ARE SON'S BORN IN ONE'S YOUTH".
THE FACT THAT YOUR CHILD GOES TO CHURCH OR THE PLACE OF WORSHIP WITH YOU DOESN'T MEAN HE/SHE IS SAVED OR KNOWS GOD. SOME PARENTS WILL RATHER TAKE THEIR CHILDREN TO PARTY THAN ENCOURAGE THEM IN THE WORDS AND WAYS OF THE LORD. REMEMBER YOU ARE THE FIRST TEACHER AND THE BEST OR WORST TEACHER TO YOUR CHILD. THEY SAY LIKE FATHER LIKE SON OR LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER.
PARENTS THAT THEIR CHILDREN GO TO THE PLACE OF WORSHIP AND ARE VERY ROOTED. DOES IS REFLECT IN THEIR WAYS OF LIFE? THAT'S A QUESTION SOME PARENT CAN ONLY ANSWER HALF WAY THROUGH(I.E. YES ON LIPS BUT NO WITHIN).
YOU LIVE IN THE WESTERN WORLD AND IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO PARENT THE WAY IT'S DONE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRY. I HOPE YOU WILL NOT LOSE THAT MINISTRY GOD HAS PLACED IN YOUR CARE BEFORE YOU REALIZE IT.
YOU WONDER HOW YOU'LL LOSE IT?
IT CAN BE THROUGH YOUR NEGLIGENCE AND ADAPTATION TO THE WORLD AROUND YOU COSTING YOU ALL IT TAKES TO PARENT GODLY.
YOU ALLOW THAT JOB, BUSINESS AND OTHER THINGS TO AFFECT YOUR PARENTAL SKILLS. SOME PARENTS EVEN BLAME IT ON THE LAW OF THE LAND SAYING "THIS AINT AFRICA OR ASIA THIS IS WESTERN WORLD" FOR EXAMPLE.
REMEMBER YOU MIGHT NOT BE THERE TO WITNESS THE TOMORROW OF THAT CHILD. DO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE PATIENCE OR TIME TO SIT YOUR KIDS DOWN, TEACH THEM HOW TO PRAY AND KNOW THE WAYS OF GOD.
PUZZLED? YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MINISTRY HAS TO DO WITH PARENTING?
MINISTRY IS USED TO DESCRIBE A PROFESSION DEPARTMENT OR GOVERNMENTAL ROLE ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY. IN EVERY MINISTRY THE FOLLOWERS LOOK UP TO THE HEAD OR LEADER SO TO SAY. SO IN THE CASE OF PARENTS YOU ARE THE HEAD OF THAT FAMILY, SO THOSE CHILDREN ARE LOOKING UP TO YOU AND THAT IS YOUR DUTY(MINISTRY).
PSALMS127:4 SAYS " LIKE ARROW IN THE HAND OF A WARRIOR ARE CHILDREN BORN IN ONE'S YOUTH". THE WARRIOR KEEPS HIS ARROW AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. IN FACT IF YOU COME ACROSS SOME WARRIORS, IF THEY GIVE YOU THE ESTIMATE AND EFFICIENCY OF THEIR WEAPON YOU'LL BE WON OVER. CAN YOU DO THAT ABOUT YOUR CHILD?
" OH MY CHILD IS STILL YOUNG".
MATTHEWS 19:14" JESUS SAID LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME AND DO NOT HINDER THEM, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BELONGS TO SUCH AS THESE"(N.I,V).
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
SOME PARENT EVEN INDULGE IN SO MUCH IN MODERNIZATION YOU DRESS THEM THE WAY YOU FEEL EVEN IF IT'S INAPPROPRIATE BEFORE GOD BUT YOU SAY LIFE IS TOO SHORT LET MY CHILD ENJOY....
WHERE WILL THAT ENJOYMENT TAKE THEM TO?
SOME PARENTS CAN AFFORD ANY GADGET FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN BUT ASK THEM/THEIR CHILD IF THEY HAVE A BIBLE OR EVEN KNOW A VERSE FROM THE BIBLE? YOU ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR TROUBLE/ DUMB RESPONSE. BUT IF YOU ASK SUCH CHILD ABOUT THE LATEST CIRCULAR SONG THEY WILL SING ALBUM TO ALBUM AND DANCE SHOWING EVERY BIT AND STEPS WITHOUT MISTAKE.
ARE YOU STILL LOST IN THAT FIELD OF PARENTING?
DO YOU REALLY KNOW THE KEYS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU AS A PARENT?
ARE YOU LOST IN THE TIDES OF THE WESTERN WORLD OR THE WAY OF THE WORLD THAT YOU NEGLECT THE WAYS OF THE LORD IN BRINGING UP YOUR CHILD?
OH YOU HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY YOUR PARTNER SO IT'S TOO DIFFICULT TO RAISE THE CHILD UP IN THE WAYS OF THE LORD?
OR YOU WERE NOT EVEN BROUGHT UP THAT WAY?
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY, SEEK KNOWLEDGE FROM GOD YOUR MAKER.
THAT CHILD'S LIFE DEPENDS ON THE MINISTRY IN YOUR CARE....
HOSEA4:6" MY PEOPLE DESTROY FROM OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I ALSO REJECT YOU AS MY PRIEST; BECAUSE YOU HAVE IGNORED THE LAW OF YOUR GOD I ALSO WILL IGNORE YOUR CHILDREN".(N.I.V)
MAY THE LORD LEAD US ALL IN JESUS NAME AMEN
