BENEFIT OF CHILD DEDICATION. MARK10:13-16


I would like to submit that dedication means different things depending on what occasion it is used.i am zeroing on child dedication because that is what is slated for the 13Th of December. because i do not want any one to be part and parcel of what he can not explain or give reason for the event,this has prompted this article.
Dedication in religious circle means things, buildings objects and even Men being set part for God.For with dedication comes holiness because nothing can be said to be holy without dedication to God to be used of him. Candles, vessels are called holy because they are for the use in the service of God.Exodus40:9-10,1kings8:22-53.
God do not compel any one to dedicate his child to him, but it is being done on your own volition and personal conviction and faith. We are free morals agent and still have the power to choose what we do with our lives.
Hannah, the mother of the little boy ,Samuel, voluntarily gave his only son to God because she had vowed earlier, to give him back to God.
God honors personal dedication that comes from individual or children that have come to the age of accountability. this was exactly what Hannah did in 1Samuel1:1-28. Dedication is giving your life to God to be use for his service or to do His will as long as you live see the book of Romans12:1
Dedication is giving your life, child 's life to a higher being for what you think he has done for you, it is also giving back to this being because of earlier covenant made by you or your fore parent to a deity in granting an request you made before them.May i digress a little here; in the old testament,a lot of sacrifices were done and a lot of Animals were slain, but these sacrifices were only pointing to the perfect sacrifices that God, himself, has provided to meet the remissions for sins instead of the coverage which the blood of animals did. this sacrifice was perfected on the cross when he died a shameful death and hung between common criminals. therefore, it is wrong for anyone to tell you about a sacrifice necessary for your favor,open doors,breakthrough or promotion in life. God, having made for himself a sacrifice, will not accept any other sacrifice no matter, the slaughter of herds that may be involved.
In the new testament, Paul enjoins us to present our bodies [not Animals]as living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God. it is when this is done that we become vessels which HE uses as HE pleases.
But child dedication per say, is the spiritual giving of your baby to God for protection and possession.
Men are known to have dedicated their children or wards to idols this is one open door for demonic possessive of an individual.If you are a victim you need to go through a simply deliverance from a minister of the gospel.
A child dedicated to God shall have a smooth run in life; not that temptation shall not come, but that even as he works through the valley and shadows of death, God will always be with him. let us remember that it is whom we give our life that we eventually become servants.
The blessings in child dedication can not be over emphasis because it is the best spiritual foundation that parents can give their children.
The Holy spirit starts to dwell in the child from the onset.
The seal of the spirit prevents the enemy from touching him.
The Holy spirit makes him of quick understanding.
He is separated from the influence of ancestral spirits from maternal or paternal family.
The parents thus have a 'legal right' to talk to God about the child because they have presented the child to God already. Many children who were prodigals have been known to have found their way back because of the unrelenting prayers and reminders to God that their kid was dedicated to Him alone.
Let us not also forget that dedication is equally a time of transference of blessings just like Jesus did when children were brought to him. He did not pray for them rather, He blessed them.Mark10:13-16

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total tu...

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O. And the most symbolic blood of all, the one you will mostly hear people proclaim, confess and exalt is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity. This among others reason is that sin, which has separat...

Alot of feeding and other event, but the social media was agog with one thing; the gift of Rolls-Royce car to this man of God who has an outstanding record in Evangelism in  Nigeria regarding establishing ministries in every nook and crannies of Nigeria, and extending to other African countries. The social media trend of this expensive car gift was enough to derail many young believers from their faith, and many started asking questions and wanting correct answers. When you hear from one corner, the praise of this man and what he has done in Evangelism, Education and Business, and in the other hands you hear many saying worldliness is what many church leaders of today, are known for, that the gift of two expensive cars is till now, unheard of in advance economy, let alone a country like Nigeria with 70 percent of the population wallow in poverty and living from ha...
