Jesus Children-02It is the duty and privilege of every child to follow in the footsteps of Jesus…. It will please the Lord Jesus to have the children ask Him for every spiritual grace, to bring all their perplexities and trials to the Saviour; for He knows how to help the children and youth, because He was a child Himself, and was once subject to all the trials, disappointments, and perplexities to which children and youth are subject. God’s promise is given as much to children and youth as to those of more mature age. Whenever God has given a promise, let the children and youth turn it into a petition, and beg the Lord to do those things for them in their experience, that He did for Jesus, His only begotten Son, when in human necessity He looked to God, asking for the things which He needed. Every blessing the Father has provided for those of more mature experience, has been provided for children and youth through Jesus Christ.

“God chose Abraham as the father of the faithful, because he knew that he would cultivate home religion, and cause the fear of the Lord to be the atmosphere of his dwelling-place. The Lord knew that there would be on the part of Abraham no betraying of sacred trusts; but that he would worship the Lord, and him only would he serve. He knew that his faithful 600-AbrahamAltarservant would lead his household forward and upward, and influence them to keep the statutes of Jehovah. Abraham did not cherish a blind affection for his family; but by the combined influence of affection and authority, he ruled his home. God’s will was made paramount. He feared the Lord with all his house.

Those who have neglected this important work in the home, and have failed to command their children and their households after them to keep the way of the Lord, should now seek to redeem the time. Let parents take their Bibles, and search that they may understand what are the requirements of God in regard to their children. Let them seek to understand what is included in parental duty.”

“Family worship should not be governed by circumstances. You are not to pray occasionally and, when you have a large day’s work to do, neglect it. In thus doing you lead your children to look upon prayer as of no special consequence. Prayer means very much to the children of God, and thank offerings should come up before God morning and evening. Says the psalmist, “O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.”

“Children need to have religion made attractive, not repulsive. The hour of family worship should be made the happiest hour of the day. Let the reading of the Scriptures be well chosen and simple; let the children join in singing; and let the prayers be short, and right to the point.”

Prayer for AHE and AHE Families

~MelissaLeave a comment

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if you are all familiar with the book 40 Days;  Prayers and Devotions to Prepare for the Second Coming by Dennis Smith.  I am beginning this study with some ladies at church and since we do not have meetings coming up with specific people to be praying that God will reach to bring to the meetings, I instead am focusing my prayers on specific needs or requests that God is placing on my heart.

One of my Prayer Pages will be focused on AHE.  I am sharing with you all for a specific reason.  One, the book says we should alert those we are praying for.  🙂  Two, we should ask for requests concerning this person/request.

My focus on the AHE prayer page will be in the ministry of AHE.  I want to pray for the families (in general) that are homeschooling and trying to follow God’s calling in this area.  I want to pray for the ministry that we are reaching out in areas that God desires us to reach out.  I want to pray over AHE’s current ministries (the email lists, the facebook page, the website, the study board) to be sure it is as God would have it.  I have concerns that have been brought to my attention that I will be praying over, as well.

So, I am asking that you all, since you are all part of AHE (you are all Adventist Homeschoolers), that if you have concerns or thoughts concerning AHE that you feel free to bring them to my attention so that I can pray over them in the next 60 days (I give myself 2 months to cover my 40 days of prayer since I sometimes “miss a day” of the specific requests).   Please send those thoughts to Melissa at:  adventisthomeducator@gmail.com

Also, I am asking that if anyone wishes to join me in praying for the AHE ministry, that they feel free to join me.  I know that God has blessings to impart on AHE families and on the ministry itself if we would just ask and pray for God’s leading.  So please join with me if God places this on your heart.

Warmly,

~Melissa

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you for your unending love.

Be with our homeschooling families as we work to teach and train our kids in what is right.

Give us strength.

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen.
