SHIELD OF FAITH

SHIELD OF FAITH

 Text:

Eph. 6:16 “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;”

During this week, take a shield of faith as your best tool to pull down the strongholds of the devil. Parenting is in itself warfare against principalities, powers, rulers and the spirits of wickedness which wants to take our children from us. Do not waste time trying to find out why some things are happening. Don’t even bother to pray a “WHY LORD” prayer which others do.

You cannot stop the devil to do his work. 1 Peter 5:8-9
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.”
There are so many ways he tries, but we know that we are more than conquerors. Your work is to be sober, awake. This means that you must be a parent who is aware of what is happening in schools, internet and Medea as well as in your family.

It is a week to practice your authority in Christ. Having the SHIELD of faith is being sober. Being sober minded is being in a prayerful mood. It is being filled with the WORD OF GOD, which happens to be the shield. You are equipped in a way that the evil one will be defeated no matter how he tries. Just pay attention to this scripture, “If anyone attacks you, it will not be my doing. Whoever attacks you will be defeated by you,” Isaiah 54:15; (GW).

There is very clear warfare language in this scripture passage. There are also very clear results shown in this same scripture passage; “Whosoever attacks you will be defeated by you.”

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you from the authority you gave me over the powers of the enemy. I am on the winning team being led by the Spirit of Jesus Christ who lives in me. My children are covered and protected. I fear no evil because Christ conquered. I see no defeat because I am more than a conqueror. I have the victory. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

CHAPTER ONE

http://youtu.be/wHGzGTj_CrM

Parents should not wait for the child to be born for them to show love. If the child in the womb was to be asked about her parents’ love towards her, she would tell us that her parents are uncommunicative, reticent, detached, frosty, cold, callous, unkind, taciturn, unemotional, unfriendly, unfeeling, un-forthcoming, distant, disinterested, neglectful, uncaring and… the list is endless.

You don’t need a college education to influence your child straight from the mother’s womb.
It is written in a very simple way to make it easy to read and implement.
That’s it – that simple.

PHONEME CONTRACTION

So powerful thing to know effective children can learn even asleep. Their brains are more powerful than a recorder because they can record consciously and unconsciously as well. Don’t wait for them to grow up.

 

NEVER MEANT TO BE A BLANK SLATE

http://faithtap.com/1206/baby-wants-to-stay-with-mom/

JUST LOOK AT THIS HEART TOUCHING VIDEO OF THIS CHILD’S EMOTIONAL FEELINGS.

I Want To Stay With My Mommy! – Immediately after being born, the nurses place this baby to his mother’s cheek. How he responds when they try to take him away to wash him, is one of the most adorable moments you will see. It is love at first contact as the baby is clinging to his mother not wanting to be let go! Awww!

CHILDREN ARE NEVER AS A BLANK SLATE AS SOME OF THE PSYCHOLOGISTS SAID. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING NEEDED WITHIN THEM TO BE CALLED A HUMAN BEINGS FROM THE DAY OF CONCEPTION.

THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES US THAT
1- THEY HEAR FROM THEIR MOTHER’S WOMB.
From ·birth [L the womb], evil people ·turn away [go astray] from God; they wander off and tell lies ·as soon as they are born [from the belly; (another word for the womb); Psalm 58:3 (EXB)

2- THEY CAN EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS FROM THEIR MOTHER’S WOMB.
Isaac prayed hard to God for his wife because she was barren. God answered his prayer and Rebekah became pregnant. But the children tumbled and kicked inside her so much that she said, “If this is the way it’s going to be, why go on living?” She went to God to find out what was going on. God told her, Two nations are in your womb, two peoples butting heads while still in your body. One people will overpower the other, and the older will serve the younger. Genesis 25:21-24 (MSG)
24 When her time to give birth came, sure enough, there were twins in her womb.

THIS IS JUST LIKE A DROP OF WATER IN THE OCEAN WHEN IT COMES TO CHILDREN EXPRESSING THEMSELVES FROM THE WOMB. THOUSANDS OF EVIDENCE CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE WORD OF GOD.

GOD IS LOVE AND WE ARE CREATED IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS.
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image and likeness. And let them ·rule [T have dominion] over the fish in the sea and the birds in the ·sky [heavens], over the ·tame animals [beasts; livestock], over all the earth, and over all the small crawling animals on the earth.” Genesis 1:26;

WE ALL KNOW THAT GOD HAS FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS AS WELL.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8;

THIS VIDEO CLIP SHOWS US THAT GOD’S LOVE AT WORK CAN BE TRACKED BACK FROM THE MOTHER’S LOVE. THIS CHILD IS SHOWING US THAT THERE WAS LOVE BONDING WHICH WAS CREATED FROM THE MOTHER’S WOMB.

LET US CONTINUE TO SHOW LOVE TO EVERYONE EVEN FROM THE MOTHER’S WOMB, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW CHRIST.
GOD BLESS YOU

 

SPEAK IT – HAVE IT

SPEAK IT – HAVE IT 
By Elasto Marume

WORDS ARE POWERFUL AND CAN FORMULATE whatever you see in your vision. Words can pull you out of muddy and slimy-pit to a luxurious & pleasant place. God gave you words to set yourself on the right place of your choice.

THE BEST THING YOU CAN HAVE AND POSSESS IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE IS WHAT YOU SPEAK TO YOURSELF AND PURSUE. Whatever is not spoken into your life is not yours.

Words are like power tools. The Magnificent, beautiful, outstanding buildings of this world were built by power tools in the hands of people of great wisdom. If they are in the wrong hands, they can be disastrous and dangerous. With WORDS of wisdom and understanding, build your magnificent, beautiful and outstanding world. Isn’t this great, to know how much potential we have to beautify our world?

In the beginning (Gen 1) God spoke to create the world. He spoke to bring out light in order to bring a change from that very dark atmosphere. His words  divided day from night so that we can measure our human life span, know the difference between days, months, years and seasons. Isn’t this wonderful?

Jesus Christ said, “Life is spiritual. Your physical existence doesn’t CONTRIBUTE to your life. The words that I have spoken to you are spiritual. THEY ARE LIFE.” (John 6:63)

If Media can influence and change life-styles, cultures, traditions, mindset and environment through MERE WORDS. HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE GODLY AND ANOINTED ONES achieve in this world. Through words, the economy grows  and falls. Isn’t this important to know?

It takes words to totally destroy your child’s future. Low self esteem and low self image are a result of spoken words. Words can build-up a confident and powerful child to influence great people in this age and even the coming generations in the future.

DO NOT MIS-USE your words. Do not speak negative words to your family, work, business or anything in your world. Death & life are in the power of your tongue (Pro 18:20-21)

“He spoke and it came to be; He commanded, and it was established (Psalms 33:9).” Whatever God spoke happened. “In this world we are like Jesus.” (1 John 4:17 NIV). “Because, as he is, so are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17 AKJV). “Because our life in this world is the same as Christ’s.” (1 John 4:17 GNT). “Because, as he is, even so are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17 ASV). WE ARE LIKE JESUS IN THIS WORLD; We have him in US right now. Our words are powerful.

Therefore, SPEAK IT – HAVE IT

 

CAST OFF FEAR

The biggest problem faced today is what the future holds for us. The world has proved to be a place which is like a boat in an unstable ocean. The world has become the troubled sea from where all bad things irrupts from. The winds are not easy to predict and stable as before in all the seas. Tornadoes and tsunamis have found their safe ground to build up and destroy the work which man suffered for so long to establish. The expects have proved to be in big trouble also when it comes to giving us the correct and straight forward wisdom to deal with problems. Science is also legging behind instead of being in advance when it comes to the discoveries and providing of the solutions. Churches which were once the best place have become another place where one has to think twice before entering. False prophets have promised and mislead many as well. Economy has become a cashing point for the rich as they trap the poor with artificial products and marketing gimmicks to better themselves by stripping the disadvantaged off the little they trying to live on. It is more of the survival of the fittest rather than a safe neighbourhood community.

This is the world I was born in which was once friendly, peaceful and loving which is also a place where my children are growing up. My children and grand children think that this is the normal life and best to live in. I look at this as I think and ponder in my heart day and night about what is going on daily. The only thing that comes into my mind is that, this world has become a very dangerous and difficult place to live in without Christ.

I am also reminded of this great scripture in the word of God.
Jeremiah 31:17
Your future is filled with hope, declares Yahweh.
I conclude and say, “search no other place other than the place I will tell you”.
There is only one place you can find your answer today.
It is in the word of God.

 

Something Every Parent Needs to Read.

 

Children Learn What They Live

Poem: By HELEN NIEVES

As I was cleaning out my desk draw, I came across a poem written by an anonymous writer. I like this poem because it speaks about how children should be raised in order to develop a character that is acceptable to our society.

Children Learn What They Live
If children live with criticism,
They learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility,
They learn to fight. 

If children live with ridicule,
They learn to be shy.

If children live with shame,
They learn to feel guilt.

If children live with tolerance,
They learn to be patient.

If children live with encouragement,
They learn confidence.

If children live with praise,
They learn to appreciate.

If children live with fairness,
They learn justice. 

If children live with security,
They learn faith. 

If children live with approval,
They learn to like themselves.

If children live with acceptance and friendship
They learn to find love in the world.
