HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY
Today, with a heart full of joy and gratitude to God, I celebrate every child around the world. Children are not just the future; they are gifts from God, carriers of destiny, and symbols of hope for tomorrow.
The Bible says in Psalm 127:3:
“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.”
Every child is precious in the sight of God. Every smile, every dream, every innocent heart matters. As parents, guardians, teachers, and spiritual leaders, we have the responsibility to guide, protect, nurture, and pray for our children so they can become who God created them to be.
Today, as I celebrate Children’s Day, I specially look at my two baby girls — Emmanuelle and Marvelous. Whenever I see them laugh, play, learn, and grow, I am reminded that children are one of God’s greatest blessings to humanity.
Emmanuelle reminds me of God’s presence because her name means “God is with us.” And truly, whenever children are around, love, peace, and joy fill the atmosphere.
Marvelous reminds me that every child is a wonder created by God. Children are born with greatness inside them. Inside every child lies a doctor, a preacher, a president, a scientist, a leader, an inventor, or a world changer waiting to be nurtured.
Sadly, many children around the world are suffering from neglect, abuse, hunger, violence, and lack of proper care. Today is not just for celebration alone; it is also a reminder that we must protect the dreams and future of every child.
To every parent:
Train your children with love.
Pray for them daily.
Speak blessings over their lives.
Do not destroy their confidence with harsh words.
To every child listening to me today:
You are special.
You are loved.
You are valuable.
God has a beautiful plan for your life.
Never allow the world to make you feel useless because heaven has already marked you for greatness.
Jesus Himself said in Matthew 19:14:
“Let the little children come to me… for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Today, I pray for every child around the world:
May God preserve you.
May your destiny shine.
May evil never destroy your future.
May you grow in wisdom, favor, knowledge, and grace.
May you become a blessing to your generation.
Happy Children’s Day to all children around the world!
