Becoming A Model Christian Mother

To be an exemplary Christian mother

You must possess the nature of Christ

The first prerequisites is that you must be genuinely saved

Because you can’t give what you don’t have

You must also maintain a constant and consistent walk

With God in every area of your life

Its your responsibility to lead your children into salvation experience

Tell them about the love of God and His plan of redemption

Teach them about faith in God and how they can have confidence in Him

Be a good example in deeds, words and everything

Let your life mirror what you preach

Because what they see sinks deeper into them

Then what they hear children are natural imitators

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children

And your action, reaction and inaction have a greater influence

You should not only pray for them

But also teach them how to pray

And receive answers to their paryers personally

Assure them that God still answers prayers

He’s capable of meeting their needs

Remember,

Motherhood is a divine privileges

So make it count

Impact of A Mother on Her Children

Mothers are endowed with an all powerful

Control over their offering, and most men

Of eminence in the world have acknowledge

Their great indebtedness to maternal influence

The Bible is replete with great influence

Godly mothers wielded on their children

And the reward they got for their efforts

Through much prayer, Hannah impacted

Samuel’s life with her godliness at a tender age of 2

And later dedicated him to the priesthood

As it turns out Samuel became a great man of God

He was a prophet in and the first judge of Israel

Jochebed also had a great impact on her children

Through daring faith, godly wisdom and divine guidance

She raised three children Miram, Aaron and Moses

Who grew up to become leaders in Israel

Miram her only daughter became a prophetess

Aaron became Israel’s first high priest

Moses became great deliverer of God’s people Israel

The list of great and influential moms in the Bible wont be complete

Without the mention of Mary, the earthly mother of our Saviour and Lord

She became the most honoured woman among mortals because of her chastity

Coupled with godliness which reflected in her training of Jesus.

And the list goes on and on like that

Some mothers in our contemporary times

Also fall in into this category of influential moms

Susana Wesley was known as the mother of Methodist

Though she never preached a sermon nor published a book

As a mother you must line up with these influential mothers

And raise godly seed to the Lord 

Portraits of A Christian Mother

The Bible gives us the portraits of the model Christian Mother

She is one that has a relationship with God and is in submission to Him

She’s a woman of strength and character, girded with

Wisdom, grace and the fear of God

She has strong, resolve, courage and godly discipline

She neither frightened by the wind nor threatened

By the clouds like Jochebed, the mother of Moses

And she deeply loves her child

A  Christian mother

Recognizes that her child is a gift from God

And thus view and treats him/her as such

She relishes, tenderly nurtures, cares, meets his (her) needs

Affectionately embraces him and befriends her as a unique gift

From the hand of God

She is available for her child

Morning, noon and night

And is involved in her (his) life

Interacting, discussing, thinking and processing life together with her (him)

She also teaches him (her) the scripture

And a Biblical worldview

Helps him develop skill and discover

His strength and spiritual gift

Above all she’s a shinning example to the child

A Christian mother

Who wants her child to be godly is prayerful

The best place to wage the battle for the hearts

Of your children is on your knees

Prayer is the key to winning children to the Lord

As the Mother…So the Child

Well may we pause to pay honor to her

Who after Jesus Christ is God’s best gift to man

It was she who shared her life with us

When as yet as our members were

Yet informed

Into valley of shadow of death

She walked that we might have the light of life

In her arms was the garner of our food

And a soft couch for our purpose

There we nestled in the hour of pain

There was the playground of our infant glee

Those same arms latter became our refuge and stronghold

It was she who taught our baby feet to go

And lifted us up over the rough places

Her blessed hands piled the needle

By day and night to make our infant clothes

She put the book under our arms and started us off to school

But best of all she taught our baby lips to lisp

The name of Jesus and told us first the wondrous story of the savior’s love

The pride of America is its members

There are wicked mothers like Jezebel of old

There are unnatural mothers who sell their children into sin

There are sin cursed, rum soaked and abandoned mothers

To who their motherhood is the exposure of their shame.

W .L. Caldwell, 1928

Significant Death of Jesus

At age 33

Jesus was condemned to death

At that time, crucifixion was the worst death

Only the worst criminals condemned to death

By crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross

By his hands and feet

Each nail was six to eight inches long

The nail were driven into His wrist

Not into His palm as is commonly portrayed

There was a tendon in the wrist that extend to the shoulder

The Roman guard knew that

When the nails were being hammered into the wrist

That the tendon would break and tear, forcing Jesus

To use His back muscles to support himself so that

He could breathe, but His feet was nailed together

Thus He was forced to support Himself on a single nail

That impaled His feet to the cross

Jesus could not support himself with His legs because

Of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching

His back than using his legs just to continue to breathe

Imagine the struggle, the pain

The suffering, the courage; Jesus endured

This all for over three hours

A few minute before He died a stop bleeding

He simply pouring water from His wounds

Most men would not have survived this torture

The human adult boy contains about 3.5 liters of blood

Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of His blood

He had a crown of thorns on His head and beyond that

A Roman soldier who speared His chest

He also had to carry a cross

This was almost 30kg of his weight for almost 2 kilometers

While the crowd spat and threw stones on Him.

Jesus inclined those all just for you and me
