Hello wonderful people!
I know I am probably very late
with this post but I guess there's nothing late with what my eyes saw... A
colleague just showed me the video of a 10 year old girl and a 4 or 5 year old
boy in a sex act.
The first time I read it was on
Linda's blog, I read the story and the comments but did not see the video. I
again read it on Myne's and a few other blogs, but couldn't contribute much.
The video scared my very existence. And through the span of the video, I just kept saying... No! shouting... "OMG! What is this?!!!" I couldn't even sleep that night. If you
are a parent especially a mother, you will understand and have the same
feelings as I did, and probably more, when you watch the movie and see what I
am talking about.
What I did on the evening of the
day I watched the video was to hold my son and pray for him. I prayed throughout the night, crying amidst the prayers.
What am I trying to say? We cannot
be careful enough... We are not always there with our kids. They go to school
and meet all sort of characters from different background and homes and so for
that matter, we (their parents) must consistently pray and plead the blood of
Jesus on their behalf always.
We parents, have to also be
careful with the kind of things our wards watch on television because the girl
in question was exhibiting some acts and patterns she must have watched. May I
submit to you also that, we need to pray for them and with them always as this
will instill the fear and wisdom of God in them. We should not just teach
them to pray, we must also impact the life of God in them, and release them
into a destiny that has God in the centre of it.
I refer you to what the Bible says
in Proverbs 22:6, the import of which is that we must train up our children in
the way that they should go so that when they grow up, they will not depart
from it. A properly trained child will fear God and live a wise and
righteous life as an adult. We must dedicate ourselves not just to providing
good food, shelter and clothing for our children, we must also set them in the
path of God's righteousness, through fervent prayerful impartation and good
training. May the good Lord continue to protect and keep us safe now and
always... Amen!
Peace... I'm out!
Yes o... What is important is showing our kids the way of the Lord.

showing the way is sometimes not enough,we`ve heard cases of preachers kids doing the craziest things.. If u ask me,i`d say be your Kids best friend,get into their heads..be there for them.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... No amount of precaution is too much. God direct us in guiding our kids
ReplyDeletenawa ooo!!!!...as in, one needs to pray loads of prayer and monitor their growth. this is so outrageous..ahn ahn
ReplyDeleteMay God see us through ooo...amen and may God help you to be a strong mother for your child..IJN.amen
I like this part @ We cannot be careful enough.That is the simple truth.What you did with your son is what all mothers and in fact parents should be doing with their children.The world is turning into something else.Perverts are everywhere even in ones own family and it's just God that can help us.
ReplyDeletelord have mercy.
ReplyDeletepraying is good but we also have to teach them and be in touch with whats going on in their lives
Yes, prayer is the only weapon of defence and protection we mothers have. We can't be with our kids 24/7 .....it is really dishearten. In GOD we trust..amen.
ReplyDeleteAll these stories are just disheartening
ReplyDeleteHmmmm,God help us...It hurts so much every time I read/hear stories like these. It was what prompted my "I just want a better world" post.
ReplyDeleteWe just have to do all we can for our children and hope/pray God keeps them for us
hhmm, Pricy i watched that video too and felt sick in my tummy for days anytime i thought about it. Thanks for sharing...our children must be nurtured in the Word of God.
