SEE THAT YOU DO NOT DESPISE

Today's Word of advice for you is in Matthew 18:10 AMP “See that you do not despise or think less of one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven [are in the presence of and] continually look upon the face of My Father who is in heaven."

Looking down on anyone is a sign of pride. Don't forget that they're angels from God assigned to be responsible to them (children), but what is the Lord telling you today, .."don't think of anyone less than you are." Beloved, don't despise or think less of anyone especially those children who cannot even pay you for any goods or services rendered to them, yes... Let your attitude towards them not make them say ill of the God whom you serve. You were once a child who hate to be maltreated or cheated by anyone. So, show some love to children around you always even if they are not your biological children. Protect them, like you will protect yourself, and make the environment conducive and safe for them to play again. Gone are those days when children play on the streets without the fear of anyone kidnapping or using them for rituals. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🚫🤔 What has the world turned into? Anyway, no matter what the world becomes, judgement awaits all, so beware!

Be a good role model to these children, for you determines what they become in the future by what they see in you. Thus:

Do not hate/despise/detest them, or else these children will eventually grow up to be wicked, unloving and uncaring adults;

Don't provoke them to anger nor should you accept their foolishness. Where/when necessary, discipline them (with words of wisdom and good cane) with the mind to correct them in love 💕💕💕. 

Prov. 13:24 - He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love]

Hebrews 12:7 - Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

Proverbs 22:15 - Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him.

Show them love, care and attention.

Everything is not money. Money without the fear of God and moral value is rubbish.  These children need parental guidance and control. Are you available?

Continue to pray for the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct you aright on how to:

Teach them godly living, the fear of God; how to pray; read/study/meditate on  the scripture; live in peace with everyone, showing love (the fruit of the Spirit); how to be quiet and disciplined in every location they find themselves;

Teach them to build moral values like integrity, respect, tolerance, honesty, contentment, dedication, forgiveness, love,  self-esteem, self-discipline, and determination as they grow;

Teach them good morals on how to greet, seat, relate with others, eat, sleep, save money, ...;    

Teach them how to speak in their mother tongue, how to dress, cook, (general home management), talk to elders, and how to be silent; 

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Philippians 4:8‭) and teach them such things. 

If we collectively teach these things through our lifestyle (words and deeds) we then become their superhero (mother, father, grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt, teacher, principal, class teacher, lecturer) thereby making our society a better place to live by impact lives positivity physically, spiritually and otherwise.

Beloved, do you know and love Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? If Yes! Please lead the children to Christ. If NO! It is not too late now to accept Him into your life as your Lord and Saviour. He loves you so much and longs to dine with you. Remember you can never give what you don't have to anyone. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.

Prayer: Lord, please help me to love and teach every child that comes my way your truth and love in Jesus' name. Amen.

Children are gifts from God so let's give them a brighter future and make them God's Kingdom citizens for life.
