TOPIC: THANK GOD FOR HUMANMobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 48, Day 3: Tuesday, 22th November, 2022. TOPIC: THANK GOD FOR HUMAN: 3.

“3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”

Today, we are Thanking God for our children. I know many parent do this often compare to thanking God for their spouses, still some complain about the children God has given them, some ask questions like;

1. Why should I thank God since I don’t have one? 

Isaiah 54:1-2.

“1. Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.

2. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;”

Thank God in advance because you will be celebrated soonest. God hasn’t forgotten you because you will have children as an inheritage from God.

2. Why should I thank God when my child is special child (physically challenge)?

Exodus 4:10-11.

“10. And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

11. And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?”

God knows about it and He will use those children to glorify Himself where we least expected.

3. Why should I thank God when I have a child out of wedlock?

Judges 11:1-3.

“1. Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.

2. And Gilead’s wife bare him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.

3. Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.”

Thank God because the child is not a mistake but a deliverer of His people. The stone rejected by the builder will soon become the cap stone.

Thank God for those children, many are still trying to get one. Thank God even if they can’t take care of you presently, many have enough but no parent to take care of. Give God Thanks for those Children because they are not a misfit, they are the heritage of God and His reward to you. Call them one by each and bless God for them then you’ll see the increase of God over them.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
