By the way the second group was a sinister group who though were farmers produced lean tubers and cassava and their products were weevil infested. They were jealous and planned on how to infiltrate the good farmers. Unfortunately the good farmers did not know until their yield became adulterated. That was when they started asking questions as to what went wrong.
Brethren the clock is ticking. The time does not wait for any man. What we neglect to do today will hunt us in thc future. Wc have ncglcctcd our children. Our Universities are infested with different cult groups and we lament for the mayhem they are causing. Anything that is alive must grow including our children. They have grown and the devil had deceived them to believe that what they imagine is an interesting life. The world has a doctrine it teaches the young people and that is to overlook Jesus and enjoy life. Is there any life outside Jesus?
Without Jesus, we are but working corpses waiting to be buried. When we neglect our children we neglect our future and society. Leaving out our children in the salvation that God has given is but the great omission in the great commission.
In most countries the level of corruption is outrageous. Why is it so? Children who later became adults were neglected and they grew with warped minds perpetuating evil as they wanted. We did not minister to our children; we keep calling them the leaders of tomorrow but did nothing to make them good leaders.
The inhumane treatment meted against children is now very common. Have you heard about selling young girl child into prostitution? In one of such countries, a girl of eight is already an old prostitute. You may ask when she started. What if that was your little sister or your child? Have you not heard about kidnapping a small girl child and locking her up in a
room and abusing her sexually for years? Do you know that 2/3 of these children do not know Jesus and almost the same number live in crisis? In some countries, children are used as drug barons and even killed if they do not make adequate returns.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverb 22: 6)
We must reach out to children and teenagers with the gospel; and also plant in their hearts the culture of the great commission.
Children is the most fruitful harvest field? They believe what you teach them and are very ready to do what you have directed them to do. They also are able to tell others what they have learnt without shame. They bring their friends and sometimes their parents to the Lord. When you hear missionaries say they have not won a soul it is because they have been
targeting only adults. Note that it is hard to bend an already grown man. By the way there is not an adult souls or a child’s soul. A soul is a soul before God.
Nobody has timetable of God regarding when a full grown adult or a child will die. We have children all around us waiting to be harvested for God. How far have we gone? Is it possible to bring ourselves down to the level of these children and lead them to Christ? Are we still going to flip out our hands and say with mischief on our faces that they are children as if they do not matter? God created them so they matter.
The bible says in Matthew 18:14, ‘Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish’. Since it is not the will of the Father that any of these little ones should perish, would it become our desire to see these children go to hell? I will let you answer that.
