Blessed are ye all today and forever more friends.
The burden to pray for homes came so strong this morning. We know you will be glad to be part of it.
We all are out here to influence the lives of children (especially orphans and the less privileged): bringing them into the realities of God's love for them. And One of the ways to achieve this is when we succeed in our homes.
Proverbs 22:6 says: "Train up a child in the Way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it". That tells us that children ministry starts from the home... and that children are to be TRAINED in the WAY.
Note that children are to be TRAINED, they cannot train themselves by themselves. They need help, and this help primarily starts from the home.
How about the WAY? Jesus in John 14:6 says: "I am the WAY, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father, but by me..." Can you see? Jesus is the WAY!
So, we are praying for parents this week:
1. That Jesus be revealed in the lives of parents all over the world. Ephesians 1:17-18
2. That the love of God finds expression in parents all over the world. 1 John 3:16, Galatians 5:13.
3. Pray for the salvation of their souls (those unsaved yet). Romans 10:8-10.
Thank you so much. Your labour of Love is rewarded in Jesus' name.
