May 27, 2020 CAC Living Water Devotional :- DO YOU CARE FOR YOUR 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.

– Children’s Day (Nigeria)
TOPIC: DO YOU CARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

Read: 2 Samuel 13:6
So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
MEMORISE: Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king (2 Samuel 13:6a)
EXPOSITION
Our focus, today, is not Amnon’s misdemeanour but David’s disposition, despite being ignorant of the situation. Whether Amnon was actually sick or he feigned it is not the issue here. The challenge here is that a whole king of David’s status still created time to visit his ‘sick’ son. This is a sign of true love, care and concern for his family members, especially the children.
We can agree that was his practice. He actually went to see the boy, not sending any of his emissaries to do that for him. A king? As a king, he would have had a lot of things to attend to, officially and unofficially, among his subjects. Wasn’t that his calling as a king and leader of God’s people? Wasn’t he doing the right thing? More than that, we have a great lesson to learn from his attitude to this ‘sick’ boy – concern for and interest in one’s home/family. What of the man who always pushed all matters to the mother (2 Kg. 4:8ff)
Do you take interest in little things (details) about your children – school, place of worship, friends, hostel, marriage, etc.? Abraham was interested in Isaac’s marriage, despite his own old age that could have been an excuse not to do so (Gen. 24:1ff). How many pastors make it a habit to visit the children church, interact with, pray for them, and see to their welfare, from time to time? No wonder we do have disasters in several homes and churches. Eli and his wife, most likely didn’t have time for that with their children. Same with Prophet Samuel. Hope that isn’t true of you. Show interest in your children’s welfare, now, lest the devil subtly takes over, God forbid!
PRAYER POINTS
1. Ask God for forgiveness at those junctions that you have not shown any, or sufficient interest in things that have to do with your children.
2. Holy Spirit, give me the right passion for my children so that I will not destroy my future, knowingly or unknowingly.
3. Pray that God should come to the aid of children who are being abused in one way or the other.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: 1 Kings 18 – 19 & 2 Corinthians 3
