Happy Mother’s Day to all Women

MEN PLEASE PASS IT ON. Thank You
Motherhood comes in different forms, but we mistakenly think of mothers as being just biological ones. We miss out others like Adoptive, Foster, Single, Blended family, Mentee, Spiritual, Widowed, Stepmother, Bereaved, Divorced, and Grandmothers or Aunts acting as replacement mothers. SO WOMEN OUT THERE, YOU ALL COUNT, AND ARE ALL APPRECIATED 👏🏾👏🏾good job and Blessings to you. ❤️❤️❤️

The Bible has examples of most of these forms of motherhood.

In John 19: 26-27 Mary, the mother of Jesus, became John’s adopted mother, and John became her adopted son at the foot of the cross ( Adoptive).

In Jeremiah 31v 15-17, Rachel in Ramah was crying and could not be comforted because her children had been taken into captivity (Prison).

In Matthew 2v16, mothers wept when the wicked King Herod slaughtered children two years and under because he wanted to kill Jesus the young child (Bereaved mothers).

In 2 Kings 4: 1-17, The widow of the dead prophet who encountered Elisha (widow and a single mother).

In 2 Timothy 1:5, Timothy Apostle Paul’s Protégé was brought up by his Grandmother and mother.

Whatever category of motherhood you belong to, if your child is in physical, mental, relational, financial, or spiritual bondage, I have comforting news for you. There are promises from the Bible you can stand on. May you be encouraged and strengthened in your mind and spirit as you stand in the gap and be like the watchman on the wall of a city looking out for the enemies coming against it. Pray for them and do not give up. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Phil. 4v6: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;”. Nothing is too difficult for God to change. He can work it all out for good.

The following references will enable you to effectively pray for the various categories of children in your life.

1. In Physical bondage, (Prison, Lost, Sick, Sex trafficking, alcohol and drug Addict etc.), we are encouraged in Jer. 31v 16: “For your work shall be rewarded, says the Lord, And they shall come back from the land of the enemy.”

2. In Mental bondage (Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, detached from you, under control of others, cults etc.), Jerm. 31v17 encourages us: “There is hope in your future, says the Lord, That your children shall come back to their own border.”

3. In Spiritual Bondage, we are encouraged in 1 John 3 v 8; “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil”. Spiritual blindness is the devil’s work. Jesus can free them.

Jesus came to set the captives free. If your child is in spiritual darkness, occultic bondage, or under demonic attack, Jesus said “I have come that they may have Life, and that they may have it more abundantly” John 10 v10b.

Mother, In every category; continue to stand in the Gap for your children. God has not finished with them yet. He is still in the redemption and restoration business. “Weeping may endure for a night, But Joy comes in the morning”. Ps. 30v5. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Please pass it on to all these deserving Women.

Happy Mother’s Day and God Bless You as you labor for all your children. 🌷🌷🌷
