December 26, 2018 Baptist Church Daily Seeking Devotional : TOPIC - WELCOMING CHILDREN

- , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

WELCOMING CHILDREN
  Mark 9:33-37

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." Mark 9:37 The world has set up different standards to measure influence and greatness. To some, knowing the powers that be in the society makes one great. While to some having excessive wealth amounts to greatness. 


Jesus, in today's passage likened greatness to the ability to receive a child. Unfortunately, many adults and churches have little or no time for children and children ministry. When Jesus heard the argument of His disciples about greatness, He immediately knew that they had lost focus of the purpose for which they had been called. 

Their discussion revealed ego, greed and selfishness. In helping His disciples to have the right perspective to life and ministry, Jesus called their attention to the importance of children in Kingdom business. He made them realise that greatness in the kingdom of God is not measured by earthly title or positions but by exhibiting the humility of a child. 

For anyone to be great in the sight of God, such person must be willing to learn from others like a child. As believers, we should also change our perspective to greatness. We should move away from the world's view of classifying men to God's view of honouring men. 

If we desire to be great, then we must be willing to serve others in humility. Remember that God honours the humble, but resists the proud.
