Children Are Your Tomorrow. Sermon and prayer points by pastor E A Adeboye

Deuteronomy_6-7: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Memorise

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

Proverbs_22-6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

Read: Genesis 18:7-9
7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetch a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

Ephesians_6-1: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right

Message

Ephesians_6-4: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord

The greatness of a person can be influenced by a father-figure – whether biological or spiritual. No wonder the Bible in Proverbs 17:6 says:
“Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.”
A child is expected to be a better version of his or her parents. Your child is supposed to be a new, improved you. Your child is your future, hence, losing your child amounts to losing your future, while gaining your child is gaining your future. You can lose your child not necessarily to death but to sin. An unsaved or backslidden child erodes the future of his parents. This is why you must invest in your children. They are your tomorrow. I cannot understand why a parent will be competing with his or her child. How can a father say that he does not want any of his children to surpass him? If your children cannot surpass you, then you have failed. That is why Jesus in John 14:12 says:
“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.”
You must do everything legitimately possible to prepare your children to have a better tomorrow.

Some parents do not mind playing “Father Christmas” with other people’s children, but they remain stingy and tight fisted with their own children. A man who was trained by his parents or relatives to secondary school level who now refuses to train his own children to at least that same level is a curse to his family. Some parents do not mind spending money to buy expensive clothes for weddings, funerals and other frivolous things, but when it comes to paying the school fees of their children, they will say they have no money. What are your priorities in life? Did your children beg you to bring them to this world? Why would you neglect them after bringing them to earth? Do you know that there are very many unbelievers who never had the opportunity of going to school, particularly women, who resolved in their heart to see that their children would be educated, and God made a way for them? Today, they have made graduates out of petty trading. How can it be said of you – a believer, created in the image of God and blessed with children of destiny, that you denied your children quality education? Far be it from you! Ensure you prepare your children for a better future. You cannot afford to disappoint God in this area!

1-John_4-4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Key Point

The greatest legacy you can give your children is first Jesus, followed by a good education up to university level. Others are extras.

God Bless Our Children

When We Pray With Our Children

Posted on July 13, 2015 by Worldwide Prayer Point

When We Pray With Our Children

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

One of the most significant ways we convey spiritual truth to our children is through our prayers. I believe that when we pray with our children, our children learn about our relationship with Our Heavenly Father and what we believe about Him. Let’s look at three things we teach our children when they listen to us pray.

When we pray, our children learn that we have a sincere relationship with the Lord.

This past Sunday I was talking with a friend about what children learn when they listen to their parents pray. He shared with me that when he was growing up his father’s prayers were formulaic and seemed artificial to him. But in recent years my friend has noticed a change in his elderly father’s relationship with the Lord. What’s significant is that the chief way he has come to recognize the change is by listening to the way his father prays.

Matthew_21-22: And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

I grew up with a mother who had a sensitive relationship with the Lord, and I knew it from the way that she prayed. When I was a child she used to tell me that even if all my friends stopped being my friends, Jesus would always be my friend. I believed her. The reason I believed her is that when she prayed I could tell that she was talking to her closest friend.

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God, Prayer Works, God Answers Prayers

When we pray, our children learn that we actually believe that God can and will answer our prayers.

I want my children to know that when we pray, we are speaking to a God who is strong enough to answer our prayers and who cares deeply enough to act on our behalf.

John_14-1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me

When we pray, our children learn what we believe about God.

Your children will learn from you that God is holy by listening to the way you confess your sins; that God is a God of power when you worship him; that God truly cares when you call upon him in your time of need, and so on.

When I’m alone with the Lord, one of the prayers I pray more than any other is:

“Lord, I want it to be real. I don’t want to be a fake. I need Your grace to live out what I teach.” But I think it’s good to remember that our children are listening.

Proverbs_22-6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

Ephesians_5-25: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it

Titus 2:7a

In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Pastor E A Adeboye Birthday

INTRODUCTION:

The Christian family is an institution where parents are bound together by Christian love, where children are happy and instructed with the scriptures, where the Lord Jesus is the Head and where parents and children gather daily for worship. A Christian family is one that radiates Christ, welcomes strangers and dispenses hospitality.

WHAT IS THE DUTY OF THE FATHER?

God has placed the husband as the head of the home. –

Ephesians_5-25: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it

Ephesians 5:23

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

The Christian husband must always put God first in his life.

Luke 14:26

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

He must love his wife, children and must love Christ more.

He is the priest of the family and responsible to establish a family altar for daily worship.

WHAT IS THE DUTY OF THE MOTHER?

One or two loving women have made many men great, a godly mother or a devoted wife is a tremendous asset. She is to serve Jesus Christ, show love, obey her husband.

Ephesians 5:22

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord

The woman is not to be adorned with ornaments only, instead, wives are to be adorned with good works, a meek and quiet spirit.

1 Peter 3:4-5

Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands

Must be trustworthy.

WHAT IS THE DUTY OF THE CHILDREN?

Children are to honour their parents

Exodus 20:12

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

Obey them

Luke 2:51

And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

And pray for them

They must also return their parent’s love. Children of today shall be the parents of tomorrow.-

Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

CONCLUSION:

The secret of a successful Christian home is in the family altar where Christ is the crowned as Head of the home. Love is the second secret. Fathers and mothers should always remember that we are all children with a loving Father above, who constantly demonstrates His love. –

Hebrews. 12:6

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

Do You Desire For Your Child To Prosper In Life?

Posted on May 30, 2015 by Worldwide Prayer Point

Proverbs_22-6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”

Proverb 22:15

Beloved begin now to give your children spiritual food. Don’t say they cannot understand or I will wait until they are teenagers. Start now from day one because there is a way spiritual things get to them even though the full impact may not be seen immediately. In fact you should be able to speak the scriptures to a child you are carrying in your hands and even in your womb. They have a way of sensing what you say because it is spirit communicating with spirit. So don’t say it is too early. It is never too early to begin to give a taste of spiritual things to a child. When they are grown up and are ripe to make their own decisions they would have made up their minds on what they want in life.

Most times children do not know how to make decisions and so need to be helped in their decision making. The idea of leaving them alone to make important decisions will not help them. Remember the Bible says train up a child in the way he should go. That is, give him a taste of the things you want him to become. As children they find it difficult to say no and so they depend on you to say no for them. When they learn early that there are certain things they should accept and some they should not accept, they will know the right decision to make when it matters. You should also choose for them the kind of language they should speak because there are some things that should not proceed out of the mouth of a child. When you notice those unwholesome words which they pick up outside, say to them “No don’t speak like that because you are a prince, you are a king, you are better off than that.”

Psalms_1-3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper

Don’t forget too to guide them in the kind of company they should keep. Psalms 1:1-3 says “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.” If you desire for your child to prosper, guide him in the company to keep. However you must make sure you don’t talk down on them or allow them to talk down on themselves because they are children of God. I declare to you today that your children are blessed and they will bring you joy always.

As Arrows Are In The Hand Of A Mighty Man So Are Children Of The Mighty Man

Posted on May 27, 2015 by Worldwide Prayer Point

Proverbs_22-6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”

Proverb 22:6

Proverbs_10-22: The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it

The scripture says as arrows are in the hand of a mighty man so are children of the mighty man. But you know that an arrow cannot shoot itself but must be shot by somebody. Until an arrow is shot it cannot hit a target. The owner of an arrow is the one who sharpens it and directs it at the target he wants to hit. The scripture above says train up a child in the way he should go. This speaks of a two way responsibility between parents and children.

As a child you are expected to willingly submit yourself to your parents so that they can propel you as a mighty instrument to hit a target. It requires willing submission. In other words, no matter how intelligent or talented you may be, no matter how much the Lord has invested in you, no matter the purpose and design He has for you, you may end up not getting to your destination in life, if not properly directed. So, that places the responsibility on you to submit so that you can be properly directed.

Children are prone to a lot of things. And in this day and hour there are a lot of things begging for their attention. There are distractions here and there; technology distraction and peer pressure. If care is not taken, they will go in the wrong direction and end up becoming nobody in life. This is not because God has not planned something great for their lives but because they did not submit to the mighty man who is supposed to shoot them. One of the Hebrew translations of the sentence “train up a child” says it is not about bending of the will but to give the child a taste of what you want him to become. For instance when you want a child to love a particular kind of meal you have to keep feeding him that meal and when he grows up he will get used to it. Beloved, the time to start feeding your child with spiritual food is now while he is still a child and by the time he grows up, he would have become used to it. Don’t wait, start now.

Jesus Does not Respond To Us Based On What We Deserve To Get

Posted on May 21, 2015 by Worldwide Prayer Point

Ephesians_6-1: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right

A wise friend once said to me, “If you give your kids only what they deserve, you will rob them of a healthy life. Don’t give them what they deserve; give them what they need. Just like Jesus does for us!”

Raising Godly Children. Parenting With Grace

Jesus doesn’t respond to us based on what we deserve to get. He responds based on what we need. He provides for our needs even though we are undeserving. He died for us while we were still in rebellion against him. He allows us to grow. He doesn’t force us to clean up our act before he comes into our lives. He meets our needs and gives us the grace and the space to grow.

When I thought about how difficult it was to see my kids develop some troubling characteristics, even belligerence and rebellion, I suddenly saw the parallel with our Father God and all of his children. Every one of us is rebellious. We pout. We shout “No!” in our spirits. We sneak around doing what we know we ought not to do. And yet He accepts us wherever we are. He refuses to abandon us or give us what we so richly deserve; he pours great rivers of (amazing) grace into our lives. As David marveled,

He Does Not Treat Us As Our Sins Deserve

Or Repay Us According To Our Iniquities.

For As High As The Heavens Are Above The Earth,

So Great Is His Love For Those Who Fear Him;

As Far As The East Is From The West,

So Far Has He Removed Our Transgressions From Us.

As A Father Has Compassion On His Children,

So The Lord Has Compassion On Those Who Fear Him.

(Psalm 103:10-13)

Thinking about the grace of God will help you become a grace giver to your children. Their imperfections help you to see your own. Accepting them as they are helps you to taste the wonder of how God accepts you as you are.

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

13 Signs You’re a Better Mother Than You Think

Posted on April 5, 2015 by Worldwide Prayer Point

Photo Courtesy of Getty. 13 Signs You’re a Better Mother Than You Think

Hint: It’s all about the little victories.

Your kids now remind you to say “please” and “thank you.”

You hug your kids constantly, even when they try to wriggle away.

Last week, your 5-year-old ate veggies. At a restaurant. Without causing a scene.

Your kids have put fingers but so far no objects up their nose.

You once walked in on your daughter making her bed and watched as she carefully fluffed the pillows and smoothed the sheets. #proud

At this very moment, everyone in your house is wearing pants.

Your son’s in a ketchup-on-everything phase, and you’ve been nothing but supportive. You do you, kid.

You play along with them about the tooth fairy, even though you know they’re just pretending in order to get the cash.

Your kids have heard the words “I love you” at least once today—and probably more times than you can count.

When you step on a Lego with bare feet at 2 a.m., you only silently curse them…because screaming would wake them up.

Your 9-month-old claps and sways when you play Abbey Road.

You always manage to pack your kids lunch—even if you have to literally throw it at them as they run out the door.

Your daughter still only wants you to put her to bed, and as far as you know, it’s not some evil plot by your husband.
