I bring greetings and God's message to you all dearest people and international friends.
Trusting everything is coming up with you guys nicely.
Lord, please when my children are not on my sight, keep them in your hands.
At this juncture, life here could be compared to boats sailing in a Stormy ocean. And everyone - both young and old, Christians and non-Christians, educated and illiterate at some experience storms in life which is a natural occurrences that drift them to and fro in life.
Consequently, everyone needs an anchor. And making reference to Wikipedia, an anchor is a device, that's normally made of metal, used to secure a vessel to the bed of a body of water in order to help prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current.
Just like the vessels on the sea, this Anchor prevents you from drifting away from the moment when there's a strong wind of life challenges blowing across your way. He keeps you steady and secures you as life goes on.
This is me introducing JESUS CHRIST as your perfect and unshakable anchor for life. He remains the Rock of Ages and lives saving Anchor.
While going through the bible lane, the book of Hebrews 6:18-20 has in it a better explanation for us.
We have......an anchor of soul, both sure and steadfast.... even Jesus.
He is the only sure and trusted Anchor that holds firmly through life's turbulent sea. Everyone needs this JESUS, your children needs Him.
So to this end, your priority as christian parents should be to show them this unfailing Anchor and have their lives fastened to Him.
He is capable of giving them salvation, keep them saved, steady, extremely nice and successful, secured as well as calm all their storms in life at ease. As christian parents, the best that'll be recorded for you won't be that you bought the best toys for your children or taken them to the best playing ground and museum, but connecting them to the Anchor that preserves our lives.
Trained up a child in the way they should go, and when they grow up, they won't depart from it.
Their connection to JESUS as lord and personal saviour or anchor for life, begins with you as an ambassador portraying good example. It starts with you having a personal relationship with Him.
I'm sure you've been repented of your sins and finds it comfortable to accept JESUS as your saviour and lord of life? Truly, this is the foundation of it all and I can't lie to anyone about it, as you cannot share what you don't possess.
You'll serve as a mirror through which your children can see Christ clearly, connecting them to their Anchor. Kindly demonstrate your faith through a life of trust and righteousness. It's expected of you, to show your children practical examples of what it means to follow Christ Jesus being anchored in Him and living a Holy, prayerful, grateful, and anxiety free life.
Make it a point of duty to introduce them to the word of God, which reveals His character and actions. From the moment your children get engaged with scripture, they'll get to discover more of God's love, care and His mighty powers in different dimensions, drawing them on their own closer to God the father of all.
As parents, it's quite essential to study and live by the word, standing firm on its promises. Maintain regular, enriching family devotions where you read the Bible together, explaining its teachings accompanied with real life illustrations.
Do well to get your children encourage into having their personal time for devotions. Moreover, engaged with them in a talk involving Jesus Christ on a daily basis and explain to their understanding about the core benefits and rewards of being connected to Him.
With the spirit's of God's guidance, lead them to understand that a life hidden in Christ offers true success, eternal life, and security in a troubled world
John 10:10. By so doing, you'll instill in them a deep dependency on God, successfully connecting them to the Eternal Anchor of life JESUS CHRIST.
Jesus Christ, the Rock of Ages is that Anchor
