Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying: Haggai 2:2

The Most High has established ministry gifts in the church, so that His work may be known as divine, and not coming from man. It is the Lord who must be promoted in the Gospel, not the name of the church, because His glory will never be given to others (Isaiah 42:8). The person who thinks that he can create a denomination that is different from the others and at the same time please the Eternal is mistaken. When everything goes according to Heaven’s plan, the Lord works. He is faithful!

Leaders should always examine the Scriptures, because through them, God speaks to His children, teaches them, and rebukes them. Making a habit of reading the Bible, meditating on it, and acting on what stands out to us while reading or preaching the Word gives us wisdom. The Father teaches us how to make His heart pleased with us: My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will rejoice – indeed, I myself; (Proverbs 23:15). Rejoice in the Lord!

The Israelites should instruct their children, so that the nation would continue to stand firm after their death. Speaking on the part of the Most High, Moses declared: You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up (Deuteronomy 6:7). If this is followed to the letter, surely the new generation that will succeed us will be a good example of good and successful people.

We must not only teach using beautiful stories, but also make them understand that the Bible is God’s Book for mankind, and in it we discover the Father´s will. No one can give the best to their children, only the Word. Material possessions will be lost, as well as formal education in schools will disappear with death. However, all that we have learned in the Scriptures will continue forever (Isaiah 40:6-8). Offer the best to everyone: the divine Word!

You see, it is not a matter of showing the words written in the Bible itself, but minister the revelation contained therein. Having the eyes of the heart enlightened once, we will never forsake the Lord. Your children will never forget that you led them to act in the Name of Jesus to obtain blessings. I still remember what I received as a little boy when using faith in Christ. No matter who your children are – natural and of faith. Dedicate time, teaching them to live by faith.

When the child is taught in the way they should walk, other children will arise like Anna´s son, who was delivered very small in the temple for the priest to make him a man of God. The Word tells us about this: Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6). Samuel is an example of one who followed the path of the Lord, which makes children of God. The new converts are children!

Every child has the potential to be a child of God. This was shown when the little ones were brought to Jesus, and the disciples rebuked those who led them. But the Master spoke differently: But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. (Mark 10:14). He does the same today. Make the most of this opportunity! 

In Christ, with love,
