What About The Children?

I have been watching the news lately, and unfortunately it has been heart breaking concerning our children.  I use the word our simply because as Christians it is our responsibility to take charge and care for them.  More and more of our kids are dying in either a car accident, or being shot.  You do not know whether to keep them locked safely in your home or to let them out.  Our children are being influenced by all manners and ways of life that is not pleasing to our Heavenly Father.  When will we take a stand?

While I realize that this is the time of year for graduation and proms for our younger generation, it is my belief that we need to spend a little more time putting the word of God in them and admonishing them not to participate in drinking alcohol, smoking or using drugs.  We must also admonish them not to drive with others who do use alcohol or drugs.  The enemy always comes to kill, steal and destroy; however, the responsibility lays with us.  Jesus said in Mat 19:13  Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, Mat 19:14  but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Mat 19:15  And he laid his hands on them and went away. Our children are a Blessing from God, we need to come to a greater realization of this and learn to pour into them and lay our hands upon them for protection before they leave our presence.




Beloved, we will and should do greater works than Jesus for it is written;Joh 14:12  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. If ever there was a time to do the greater works, it is now.  Children are killing children, and being killed by siblings and peers.  What about the children?  Will we continue to bypass them daily without a second look or thought and say to ourselves it is somebodies else problem, or will we take the responsibility of speaking a positive word into their spirit. We can speak a word of encouragement to any child that God puts into our path.  They may not be your children by birth, but they are yours by association.   Perhaps they live in your neighborhood or maybe they are friends with your son or daughter.  The signs are before you, please do not ignore them.  We can always fast and pray to ask God for the open door to impart positive seeds that will perhaps save and change that child's life. 


Please do not ignore or give up the opportunity to impart whatever God has given you into the life of His children.  They may not act as though they want instruction, guidance and direction; however, they do.  I watched a video that was sent to me last month and there was a team of gentlemen that went to New Orleans on a mission to save some young people from the destruction of the enemy.  There were two young ladies that stopped long enough to listen to them and rededicate their lives back to Christ.  Beloved, if it is just one for the Kingdom that is enough.  I heard a song that says if each one of us gets one, then we will be able to do a mighty work for our Savior.  After all, that is our responsibility.  Ponder the words of the Holy Spirit and take a stand to win our children back from the enemy.  Remember the word of the Lord that says: Psa 127:3  Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psa 127:4  As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Psa 127:5  Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. 


Until next time, always remember that our children are a Blessings.
