TEACH THEM TO OBEY

-

Deuteronomy 6:1-2,24-25

“These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupy,

and you and your children and grandchildren must fear the lord your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life.

And the Lord our God commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear him so he can continue to bless us and preserve our lives, as he has done to this day.

For we will be counted as righteous when we obey all the commands the Lord our God has given us.’


As we said yesterday, no nation can thrive were there are no good laws and ordinances. For where there are no laws or regulations chaos is eminent, people will do whatever pleases them.


It is therefore good for the next generation to be taught these laws and be guided to inculcate them as young people so that it is not strange to them as they get older.


There is a strange push by certain cults to push the agenda of an evil freedom to children to make them see abominable acts as legitimate and force them to experiment dangerous practices which has caused traumas and pains to people over the years.


These sects must be of the evil one, however they have penetrated seats of authority in corridors of power and are pushing this evil agenda with so much rigor. The will fail as we continue to pray and trust in the Lord.


The best a child can have is to know their creator. Over the years His laws and regulations have been a blessings for everyone, they would not be an exception.


Jesus said:


Matthew 19:14-15

But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”

And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left.


There is a woe from Christ on anyone who will lead children astray!


Matthew 18:2-3,5-6

Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.

Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.

“And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.

But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.


Just as Moses instructed the children of Israel to guide their children in the ways of the Lord, Christ also instructs us to lead the little children to the Father through Him.


God bless all those teachers who have committed themselves to raise our children in all our churches and gatherings the Lord remembers their labour of love and will surely reward them here and in the life to come.


All parents who have taken up the responsibility (for it is their primary assignment) to raise their children in the ways of the Lord. The Lord will definitely make their children a blessing to them here on earth and of course they are rewarded in the life to come.


All teachers, educators and leaders who have fought and worked to make the life of children an honour to the Lord and lead them aright, have blessings here on earth and in the word to come.


Did the children of Israel obey this command?


Have you or are you still obeying this command?


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


PRAYER

Father of all children, help me to do Your work to raise my children and all children in Your ways that they will bring Glory to You in this earth and fulfill their destiny. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
