THE BLESSING CALLED 'MOTHER'
Memorise:
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. .. Judges 5:7
Read:
Proverbs 1:8-9
Message
Typically, children tend to respect and even fear their fathers more than their mothers because men are generally considered stronger and sterner. A mother may not be as physically strong as a father, but she has immense strength in other areas. I usually say that I am where I am today because of God's grace and my mother's prayers. Whenever I did something that impressed her, she would say, "You will call one fellow, and 100 will answer." What she meant was, 'You will be very influential.' Today, God has blessed me with great influence over many people across the world. When a mother is happy with a child, whatever she deeply desires and prays over the child will come to pass.
Beloved, Ephesians 6:2-3 instructs you to honour your father and mother (not just your father alone) so that you can enjoy tremendous blessings. These days, many children don't even pick up their parents' calls. If you have parents, you must be intentional about honouring them because it is a prerequisite for God's blessings and long life.
When I was younger, my mother would instruct me to stay back at home to study while other children in the neighbourhood were out playing. Thank God I obeyed her. Studying my books helped me to ignore many distractions and achieve great things in life. In appreciation, I took good care of her before she passed away. I made sure that I saw her at least once every two weeks so that she wouldn't miss me so much. If your mother is still alive, or if you have mother figures in your life, ensure that you always honour them by being obedient and caring towards them.
If you are a mother, your role in deciding your children's future is very important. You must ensure that they are disciplined and focused on fulfilling God's will for their lives. Don't pamper them; train them diligently. Don't prioritise making money or partying over spending quality time with them. Also, be willing to make sacrifices to help them grow up in wisdom, strength, and the way of the Lord. I pray that God will bless all mothers with the strength and courage to nurture their children the right way. If you're married and are seeking God's face for the fruit of the womb, I decree that by this time next year, you will be carrying your baby, in Jesus' name.
