OUR DAILY MANNA FOR MONDAY 19TH AUGUST 2019 – WHAT LEGACY FOR THAT CHILD?

Our Daily Manna  For Today

Our Daily Manna daily devotional by Bishop Dr. Chris Kwakpovwe for today is here. Digest the word of the lord and pray believing in his promises.

 

 

TOPIC OF OUR DAILY MANNA FOR MONDAY 19TH AUGUST IS  “WHAT LEGACY FOR THAT CHILD?”

 

 

Basic Scriptures: 1 Samuel 3: 4-14; Proverbs 22:26

 

Years back, I read from a tract a story about a child who boarded a bus unaccompanied. When it was time to pay his fare, he only replied: “Jesus paid the fare.” The bus driver listened in awe as the boy narrated the story his mother (who was late) had told him that a man named “Jesus Christ” once came to the world and was crucified to pay all the debts he could ever owe!

Very funny, but can you imagine the awesome power of teaching a child? The question the Holy Ghost is asking you today is: “What are you doing with the children God has put in your care?” Our 2nd Basic Scripture says: “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Despite your busy schedule, when was the last time you told a child a Bible story or prayed together with a child?

 

They may not necessarily be your biological children! Don’t forget that the father of the former US president, Bill Clinton, died while he(Bill Clinton) was in his mothers womb. Other male relatives and his mother brought him up. By worldly standards, is he a failure today? A lot of us are so caught up in our daily activities that we hardly have time for the children!

We forget about THE NEXT PHASE of life – a time when these children will be separated from us and we will have empty nests (rooms) without them. It is the training we have given them that will remain with them. In the case of Eli, God judged his family because of his children! What will the children remember you for in the years to come?

 

Listen to Jean Paul Richter: “What a father says to his children is not heard by the world: but it will be heard by posterity.” Close with the bombshell from Stacia Tauscher:
“We worry about what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” in this 2nd half of 2019, let God use you to be a great blessing to a child.
