*OUR CHILDREN ARE CREATED FOR GOD’S GLORIOUS MANIFESTATION*
🧠 *Memory Verse*📖 : Joshua 24:15, " *But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord*.” (NIV)
*🙌Praise And Worship* 🛐 : Set yourself apart and appreciate God in quality praise and worship
*Prophetic Declaration* 🗣️ : Your children shall be for signs and great wonders in Jesus Mighty name.
📜 *Spirit Meal* 🍽️🥪 : Psalms 127:1-5
Here is a profound statement that separates one from the ways and practice of this world. It is coming from a man that knows that only God can help one to build one's house. Joshua is an example of Godly father. He is the light to his wife and children. He says,... *but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord*. It is the primary responsibility of the father and mother to train the child in the way of the Lord.
Parents must come to the understanding that, *...children are a gift from the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a divine reward. The children born when one is young are like arrows in the hand of a warrior*.(Psalms 127:3-4 CEB). The 21 century child learns more by imitation. That little boy loves to act like the father. That little girl loves to display the conduct of the mother. Hence, the home is the first major informal school for every child. The Lord made this testimony concerning Abraham.
*For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord..* (Genesis 18:19a). Abraham gave the world Isaac. Learn how to be a godly father from Abraham. How about Hannah? She gave Samuel, a great prophet to Israel. How about Susanna Wesley who gave the world two great ministers of God. They are: Charles Wesley and John Wesley.Jesus loves our children. Let's teach them the ways of the Lord. Our children also will be great in life in Jesus'name Amen.
* 📜 *The Bible In One Year* 📜 : Psalm 44, 45, 46, 47. Hebrews 1 & 2.
*Sing Hymn 525 with the children*
1. Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak, but He is strong.
Chorus:
Yes, Je-sus loves me!
Yes, Je-sus loves me!
Yes, Je-sus loves me!
The Bi-ble tells me so!
2. Jesus loves me, He Who died
Heaven's gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
3. Jesus loves me, loves me still,
Though I'm very weak and ill;
From His shining throne on high
He will watch me where I lie.
4. Jesus loves me, He will stay
Close beside me all the way,
Then His little child will take
Up to Heav'n, for His dear sake.
Amen
