Exo 20:12 “ Honor your father and your mother, that your
days may be prolonged in the land which the Lord your God
gives you.
There are several mothers mentioned in the Bible who are
worthy examples.
I would like to mention just a few.
Jochebed, Moses' mother -
Exodus 2.3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got
him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch.
Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by
the bank of the Nile.
She gave him up in order to save his life. She allowed another
woman to adopt her son, name him, and provide for him.
She arranged for herself to become his nurse and caregiver
during his infancy.
A mother's influence is vital early on. The first five years
determine character.
Hannah, Samuel's mother - dedicated him to God and
released him to God's care. Can you release your children to
God? Can you trust their lives to his hands and allow him to
do what he wants with them.
We have prayed for our children since they were conceived.
We prayed for their spouses since they were children. We still
pray for them each day. We pray for each of our
grandchildren each day. We are already praying for the child
our daughter is pregnant with.
Eunice, Timothy's mother - she passed her faith on to Timothy.
2Ti 1:5 For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which
first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice,
and I am sure that it is in you as well.
I would like to pay tribute my mom and my mother-in-law.
Mama was a good person. She took me to church as a child,
but she didn't know Jesus. She only knew religion. But when I
got saved my mom was the first to celebrate my conversion
and the first in my family to follow me into the Christian life.
A few years ago my mother that I was the best Christian she
knew and she measures all other ministers by me.
Now, I know my mom is biased, but can you imagine how good
it feels for your mother, who knows all of your faults and
failures, all your past, to place that much confidence in you.
Those things need to be said.
Then there is Patti's mom. I call her mom as well. Mom has
prayed for me probably more anyone through years Patti and
I have been married. She is without question our greatest
prayer warrior. We could not have gotten through many
situations without her prayers. Never underestimate the power
of your prayers for your children.
So, to sum it all up: Mothers –
- Pray for your children
- Encourage them
- Teach them godly principles from the Bible, God’s Word
- Dedicate then and Release them to God
Exo 20:12 Do të nderosh atin tënd dhe nënën
tënde, me qëllim që ditët e tua të jenë të gjata mbi
tokën që Zoti, Perëndia yt, po të jep.
Jochebed, - nena e Moisiut
Exo 2:3 Por, kur nuk mundi ta mbante më të
fshehur, mori një kanistër prej xunkthi, e leu me
bitum dhe katran, vendosi në të fëmijën dhe e la në
kallamishtën në bregun e lumit.
Ajo hoqi dore prej tij ne menyre qe ta shpetonte.
Influenca e nje nene eshte jetesore ne moshen e
hershme.
Hannah, nena e Samuelit, ja dedikoi femijet e saj
Perendise.
1Sa 1:27-28 Jam lutur për të pasur këtë djalë, dhe
Zoti më dha atë që i kisha kërkuar. 28 Prandaj edhe
unë ia fal Zotit; deri sa të rrojë, ai do t 'i kushtohet
Zotit ". Dhe aty ranë përmbys para Zotit.
Eunice, nena e Timothy - ajo e kaloi besimin e saj
tek Timothy.
2Ti 1:5 sepse kujtoj besimin e sinqertë që është në
ty, i cili më parë ishte te gjyshja jote Loide dhe te
nëna jote Eunike, dhe jam i bindur se është edhe te
ti.
Per ta permbledhur:
- - Lutuni per femijet tuaj
- - Inkurajojini ato
- - Mesojuni atyre principe te perendishme nga
Bibla, mesojuni fjalen e Perendise.
- - Dedikojuani ato Perendise.
