TOPIC: Happy Children’s Day (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 16 September 2024)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 39, Isaiah 40, Luke 5, Luke 6.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Numbers 27:1-11 (KJV)

1 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.

5 And Moses brought their cause before the Lord.

6 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.

10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.

11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the Lord commanded Moses.

MEMORY VERSE: “But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” – Mark 10:14 (KJV)

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP:Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:YOUR CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT OF THE LORD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

MFM Devotional For Today 2024 MESSAGE:

Children are God’s beautiful creatures. They are so innocent that the Bible tells us that if we must enter the kingdom of God, we have to have the heart of a child.

However, these children, just like the memory verse implies, we have to catch them young and draw them closer to God. We must never hinder them from getting to know God. There are several ways parents can hinder their children from loving God.

The first one we should note and avoid is being a wrong example. Children often emulate what they see. They follow in the steps of who they look up to, be it their parents, guardians and siblings. More than your teachings to them, your actions around them is what they follow. Therefore, as a parent or guardian, if you are not living a righteous life, you are hindering your children from loving and living a righteous life. Some parents, knowingly or unknowingly tell lies and demonstrate other negative traits to their children. Some of such children even grow up to do worse things like stealing and other sinful behaviours. Some ungodly parents send their teenage children to sinful partners. How will such unfaithful men or women checkmate their children from being wayward?

The second one is that some parents have turned their children to idols. They do the bidding of their children and even disobey or offend God in the process. Children are gifts from God. We are to train and raise them in the way of the Lord. We are also to discipline them when they err or wander away from the way of the Lord. Dear parent do not over-pamper your child and leave them to their bidding if they don’t serve the Lord.

They are the apple of the eyes of the Lord. They are as strong as arrows in the hands of a mighty man. Children are gifts from God and we should be so intentional about raising them. The devil is after our seeds because with them great things can happen.

Jesus loves little children. So let us ensure we love them. Be a good example to them so that they can imitate you and ensure your actions do not have a negative impact on them.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

Lord, help me to become a good example to the little ones, in the name of Jesus.

Lord, help me not to be a hindrance to the salvation of my children, in the name of Jesus.

Lord, help my children to be taught of the Lord, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

⁠I receive the capacity to show my children how to love the Lord, in the name of Jesus.

⁠My children shall hear the Lord like Samuel, in the name of Jesus.

My children shall not be captured by the devil and his agents, in the name of Jesus.

⁠I receive the grace to be an exemplary parent, in the name of Jesus.
