With the challenges in families today,
it is really very important we commit our families especially our children into
God’s hand. This is because there is no wrong time or place to talk to HIM- HE is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent!
What is committed to HIM is secured,
protected, preserved…HE perfects. I am not a pastor, I just write based on my
personal experiences and conviction.
Just like us, our children are
constantly exposed to all kinds of vices- drugs, alcohol, sex and other forms
of addictions and pressure. This is why we need to protect them and educate them.
One very powerful and effective way of
protecting them is through prayers. Praying for our children is a sure way of
telling God to help us as parents. We parents are like custodians to these
children who are gifts from God.Therefore, its our responsibility to take care of them in every aspect of their lives especially leading them to God.
Praying for their safety, guidance and
protection from physical and spiritual attacks help them to become who God has
destined them to be! Praying helps you to meet and achieve those goals and dreams
in our children’s lives ordinarily would have been impossible to achieve on our
own.
Children who are challenged
academically, or are just plain stubborn should be taking up in prayers. You
may have tried all you believe could work but still failed, then I suggest you
just raise them to God in prayers. Call upon HIM anytime of the day and HE
would always be there for you. Angry or sickly children should be committed to
God’s hands because “HE healeth all disease”.
Speaking positively, declaring
prophetic utterances (even if you are not a prophet or pastor), anointing them and involving them in spiritual matters like reading the Bible, church
attendance, catechism classes and choir practice are essential for them. This way, they get to
know the importance and the power of prayers.
Personally, I have experienced the
power of prayers, so I urge everyone who believes in God to raise their
families especially their children to God through prayers. Whatever, the
challenges they may face, do not hesitate to tell God about it. And do not give
up! There is nothing impossible with HIM. HE handles all situations and nothing
is too big for HIM!
Thanks.
