HERITAGE
FROM THE LORD
Psalm
127 vs. 3-4: Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD, and the fruit of the womb
is his reward. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man so are children of one’s
youth. Giving birth to a child is a gift from GOD.
They are GOD’s reward to men. The bible said be fruitful, multiply and
replenish the earth and subdue it. Genesis
1 vs. 28: And GOD blessed them and GOD said unto them, Be fruitful and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
Heritage is an inheritance, property that may be inherited. Children are GOD’s
property and must be nurtured and trained in the way of the LORD. Proverbs 22 vs. 6: Train up a child in the
way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Whatever
a child is taught when young, he lives with it. When a child is brought up in
the way of the LORD, such a child will become the cynosure of all eyes; such
child remains in the way of the LORD and will also train generations to come,
such child won’t be a son of Belial. The children of Belial serve other gods.
The children of Belial know not GOD. The children of Belial’s light do not
shine; they are in darkness. Deuteronomy
13 vs. 13: Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you,
and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, let us go and serve
other gods, which ye have not known. 1 Samuel 2 vs. 12: Now the sons of Eli
were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
Many are disturbed because
their children one way or the other misbehaves, mind you when you train and nurture
a child while young in the way of the LORD; he cannot depart from that way, he
cannot misbehave, he will always bring you joy and peace of mind. Many parents
are responsible for a child’s indiscipline; many don’t even have time for their
children. Many are work conscious and neglect the welfare of their children. There
is a saying, spare the rod and spoil the child. A child should be corrected
when he has done something wrong. Many children are spoilt and they lack morals
and manners. Parents always see to taking proper care of your child. Eli
refused to nurture and train his sons. They became sons of Belial. When you
refuse to nurture and train your child in the way of the LORD, they become sons
of Belial. Children are sharp arrows in the hand of a mighty man to defend him.
Your children will defend you and will always respect you, if you nurture and
train them in the way of the LORD. Many give birth to children to prove they
are capable of doing so; we should give birth to children so we can raise them
to serve GOD together. Joshua said as for me and my household, we shall serve
the LORD. That should be our motives. As for those still looking for the fruit
of the womb, as GOD visited Sarah and Hannah; he shall visit you in JESUS ‘s
name. And as for those set to deliver, as GOD made the Hebrew women deliver
with ease in those days, they shall all deliver safely with ease; they will
live and their babies will live. To the children, always obey your parents for
this is right that you might live long. HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY. It is well with
us..
