WHEN MOTHERS STOP
PRAYING
In Luke 7, Jesus observed a huge
funeral procession in Nain. The entire town was present. He observed the young
men and women weeping. He observed the pastors and apostles weeping. He
observed the elders weeping. He observed the fathers weeping. He observed the
children weeping.
He observed the sadness on people's faces. Nothing seemed to move Him,
until HE SAW THE MOTHER.
The bible says He had compassion when He saw her and immediately raised
her boy from the dead. (Luke 7:12-15). It was the cry of a mother that moved
the Heart of God. Still today, Mothers who cry before the Lord for their
families, for their marriages, for their homes move the Heart of God.
When Mothers stop praying their families (especially their children)
perish. Satan gets a foothold and starts to destroy the home, yet when they
return to their rightful place as the anchor of the home, demonic strongholds
get demolished. In Psalms 17, 36, 57, 63, and 91 God's role is likening to that
of a Mother.
As a Mother protects, upholds and defends her children, so does God also
protect us under the shadow of His Wings . We find refuge there and can hide
there until the danger is over. A mother's role is so vital that a father
cannot get his prayers answered if he dishonours/ disrespects her (1 Peter
3:7). Because, of this favour over mothers, they are also the most attacked
persons in the home. The devil is terrified of Mothers (the powerhouse in the
home). Yet the Lord has put inside Mothers grace and resilience to overcome any
situation. Today, As the woman of the home, consider yourself blessed. Consider
yourself highly favoured and consider yourself dangerous when you pray!
