Topic:-  BLESSEDNESS OF MOTHERHOOD
Read:-   EXODUS 2:7- 11

MEMORISE: At that time Moses was born, and he was no ordinary child. For three months he was cared for in his father’s house (Acts 7:20)

EXPOSITION:
The role that parents play in nation building or raising of godly children is indispensable. Parents have a great role to play in influencing the children either for evil or good. On most cases, women are closer to the children, hence, their greater chance to exert more influence on the children. Abraham Lincoln (former US President) once said, “Whatever accomplished in life, I owe to my mother”. Thomas Edison (a notable inventor) also confessed, “My mother was the making of me”.

Susannah Wesley was a dedicated mother who saw child rearing as a grace from God. She raised Charles Wesley (world-renowned hymn writer and singer) and John Wesley (the worldwide evangelist and founder of the Methodist Mission). Jochebed did the same to and for Moses. Mothers what are you doing? Take care of those babies. They are God’s heritage. Pray for them, lead them to Jesus very early, right in their different father’s house (cf. Acts 7: 20), be available for them, be passionate about meeting their needs, and be hopeful that they will be great according to God’s plan.

By implication, any woman who takes the life and future of her children seriously, and chooses to remain with her husband through thick and thin,with her husband’s indispensable positive inputs, would surely inherit the fruits of her labour. A virtuous and godly woman must imbibe these qualities, if she does not want to be held responsible for her children’s failure in all ramifications. Be the best mother.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank God for His grace upon your life to be a parent.
2. Lord, help me to be up and doing in my duty as a parent, in cooperation with my spouse.
3. Pray passionately that God should open every closed womb of Christians and bless them with superstars.
