GODLY SEEDS
We have looked forward to this day for a while. My son will always say "mummy am so excited for camp" and I tell him "I know, you have said it like a hundred times". The Christian kids camp is for kids ages 5 and up and Jomi just became eligible to attend this year.
I cried, oh I cried, not at the fact that I was dropping my son at the Christian kids camp for the first time, not at the realization that he was growing so fast and he will be in camp for a week... well maybe that...
But as these children were coming into the camp, trying to find their groups and parents were ensuring that their children were settled in, I saw the hunger and the eagerness to receive from God and it dawned on me...Godly parenting is an action word!
You have to be deliberate in teaching them God's word, in their daily confessions, in shaping them into women and men after God's heart. It is not enough to just pray for them, you must be active in their spiritual growth.
We all want our children to be physically healthy, well much more attention should be paid to their spiritual health.
Malachi 2:15a NIV "Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.”
God seeks Godly offspring, be deliberate about you and your children's spiritual growth, the enemy is on the prowl, if he doesn't get you, he will want to come for your offspring.
Look at Revelations 12:17NIV
“Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.”
As our children are on long vacation and summer breaks make this your call and responsibility, plant those seeds, be deliberate and hand them over fully to God and He will take care of the rest.
Yours in the walk....
