Take
your Child (ren) to Jesus
Matthew 19v13-15 NIRV
V13
some people brought little children to Jesus.
They wanted Him to place His
hands on the children and pray for them. But the disciples told the people to
stop.
V14
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t keep them away. The kingdom
of heaven belongs to people like them.
V
15 Jesus placed His hands on them. Then He went on from there.
Jesus wants us to bring our children to Him so that He can
bless them. So that He can lay His hands on them. The world is fighting for
your children through various means. But you should make a decision that your
children will be taken to Jesus. Daily hand them over to Jesus so that His
hands can be placed on them.
Jesus tells us not to keep them away. It’s not only on Sundays
during Sunday school or church. It should be done daily.
Mark 10v13-14 States the same incidence, however Mark tells
us Jesus was upset that His disciples were hindering the children from coming
to Him. No one (not even you) should hinder you from taking your children to
the King of kings, the Lover of our soul.
Consciously take them to Him.
In the next chapter Matthew 20 we see Mrs. Zebedee the
mother of James and John Zebedee take her children to the King. Probably she
heard or saw what took place in chapter 19 and she thought why not my children?
Though they are men but why not? why not take them to Jesus. Yes they follow
him but I want a special request. I don’t want what they are doing here to last
here but I want forever for my children.
What special request do you have for your children?
This shouldn't be done for babies or small children alone, older
children who have become men and women or even fathers and mothers shouldn’t be
left out.
In verse 20, we read that she got on her knees and worshiped Jesus. (NIRV and KJV)
She worshiped Jesus with her sons in tow. Jesus had to ask
what she wanted and she asked that her children be made important in God’s
kingdom.
V21
what do you want? Jesus asked. She said, “Promise me that one of my two sons
may sit at your right hand in your kingdom. Promise that the other one may sit
at your left hand”
What we can learn from her?:
1)
She worshiped Jesus. We should worship Jesus. Sing
of His praises, adore Him. Let Him be the Lord of our hearts. Let him reign
supreme in us.
2)
She went with her sons. Though they were men
she took them with her to Jesus. Take your children with you. Let them see you
worship the King of kings on their behalf. Don’t go alone. Go with your children.
If they can’t go with you physically let them know you are taking them to
Jesus. Let them know you are praying for them.
3)
She made her request. Not a worldly request to
give her children wealth but one of everlasting life. Though Jesus didn’t give
her a yes because it’s not for him to decide he also didn’t tell her no.
Prayer :
Lord I thank you. I appreciate you. I thank you for making
me a carrier of my children. Lord may your name be glorified forever. May your everlasting Kingdom come and your will
be done on earth. I love you Lord not only for the things you have done or for
the things you would do but because when I didn’t deserve love or life you gave
it to me. I am no body but you have given me the privileges I dare not dream
of.
Lord you said in Matthew 7v7 that I should ask and you
would give me, that if I search and seek for you I will find you and if I knock
you would open the door for me
Lord I bring my children to you (say their names) please
let them be in your soon coming kingdom. Please keep them safe from the evil
one so that they won’t lose their reward or miss their purpose. Let them reign
with you. Don’t let them be partakers of hell. Let their lives mirror your life.
Let them drink from your cup of suffering if that will take them to heaven. Even
though I don’t want them to suffer but I would prefer that to eternal suffering
in hell. In Jesus name I pray. (Amen)
If you have other prayer request for your children you can state them.
The grace of God be with us and help us in Jesus name.
