Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
What is the Auspicious word the Lord has for us today? The Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 19, verse 14, says: “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
The Bible teaches us that if we are to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, our hearts and minds must be like those of little children. Therefore, if we put away all guile and deceit from our hearts and ask the Lord today for a heart that is pure and free from deceit, He will also accept us like little children. Alright!
Two thousand years ago, many mothers and fathers brought their little children to Jesus so that they might receive His blessing. They did not keep their children at a distance; instead, they brought them directly to Jesus Christ so that He could embrace and bless them. The Scripture says that the Lord Jesus took them up in His arms and laid His hands upon them. That is how the Bible describes it. He embraced them, laid His hands upon them, touched them, blessed them, and sent them away.
Even today, at this very hour, Jesus is coming into your homes so that your children may be taught by the Lord, grow in Him, grow in truth, and become good children.
With the eyes of faith, pray like this: “Lord, take my little child into Your arms, bless the child, and place the child back into my hands. Lord, my child has delayed brain development. Take my child into Your arms, bless the child, and give the child back to me with complete brain development. Lord, my child has not yet begun to speak. I place my child in Your hands. Take my child into Your arms, bless the child, and give the child back to me so that my child may begin to speak. Lord, my child cannot hear. Take my child into Your arms just once, bless the child, and give the child back to me with the ability to hear.”
Whatever you ask in faith at this very moment, believe that the Lord will do it for you. The Lord loves little children dearly, especially on this Children’s Day.
Therefore, the Lord Himself says, “Let them come to Me,” and “do not forbid them.” This means that today the Lord is giving each one of you a special opportunity. Commit your children and grandchildren into His hands. Today is such a day!
Do not bring any other request before the Lord today. Simply say, “Lord, I commit my child to You. I commit my grandchild to You. Lord, I commit the child growing in my womb into Your hands. I also place into Your hands the child You are going to bless me with.” As you pray these words, the Lord is giving this special Mangala Vaarthai exclusively for your children today.
Today, do not place any other petition before the Lord apart from your prayers for your children. If your children have grown older and are entering their youth, pray for them as well.
The Scripture says, “Your children shall be carried upon the hip.” In earlier days, mothers would carry their children by lifting them and resting them on their hips. Today, mothers use different kinds of baby carriers, with straps fastened around their waists to support their little ones. But in those days, it was not like that. Mothers would hold their children close to their bodies in a loving embrace. They carried them that way so that the warmth and love of the mother’s body would be felt by the child. That is what the verse means when it says, “Your children shall be carried upon the hip.”
Now, bring before the eyes of your mind the picture of your children being carried on the hip of the Lord Jesus. What a wonderful joy and blessing that is!
Not only that, the continuation of the same verse says, “Your children shall be dandled on the knees.”
Nowadays, there are many different kinds of cradles used to rock babies, including cradles that are hung from trees. In those days, however, many mothers had a simple way of rocking their children. I still remember how my own mother would sit on the floor, stretch out both her legs, and lay me across them with my face looking up at her. Then she would gently sway her legs. There is no greater cradle than that! It was a beautiful way of comforting a child and rocking the child to sleep.
The Bible itself says that the Lord will dandle children in the same way. Bring this verse before the eyes of your mind: “Your children shall be dandled on My knees.” This means that the Lord sits down, offers His lap, places the children upon His knees, and lovingly rocks them. Just think about it! Even as I imagine this, my heart is filled with joy.
I pray that the Lord will rock my grandchildren in this way. May the Lord also rock each one of your children and grandchildren just like that. When a child is rocked on the mother’s legs, the warmth and love of the mother surround the child. Just imagine: if that child is placed upon the knees of the Lord Jesus Christ, what a wonderful blessing it would be for the child to experience His loving touch! What greater blessing could there be?
Today, commit your children into the hands of the Lord and trust in Him. He Himself will raise them up beautifully.
Testimony
Brother Gunasekaran, Coimbatore:
“I run my own wall-advertising painting contract business in the Coimbatore region. I would not receive orders for advertising painting contracts easily, and even when I received them, the work would often face obstacles. Because of this, I suffered greatly financially.
In such a situation, I attended the Family Blessing Meeting held at the Coimbatore Prayer Tower. During the prayer time, I joined Brother Stephen in prayer. I also made a vow and prayed that I would contribute an offering of Rs. 5,000, to the best of my ability, towards purchasing land for the construction of the Coimbatore Prayer Tower.
I also requested Brother Stephen to pray for me personally. Brother prayed with great earnestness and shared a Mangala Vaarthai. After that prayer, by the grace of the Lord, I began receiving more and more orders continuously. Moreover, the Lord has been helping me complete every project excellently and without any obstacles, within the appointed time. Thanks be to the Lord!”
The Lord will do the same for you as well.
Prayer
Loving Lord, we thank You. Lord, bless the ministries I am conducting in Australia during these days.
Especially on this Children’s Day, commits their children into the hands of Jesus, we see with the eyes of faith the Lord Jesus taking those children into His arms, embracing and blessing them, and placing them upon His knees to lovingly dandle them. For this wonderful blessing, we give thanks to You, Lord.
We thank You that, from this very moment, our children are included among those who are blessed by the Lord.
I pray and bless every child, that every deficiency in their bodies may be made complete in Christ Jesus. Not only that, may the anointing of Jesus rest upon each child. Grant divine health, wisdom, and knowledge to every child, and honour them.
Furthermore, for those who are longing for the blessing of children, open their closed wombs today. Grant them Your grace so that, by next Children’s Day, they may hold the child You have given them in their arms and give thanks to You.
Look with favour upon those who are celebrating their birthdays and wedding anniversaries at this time. May Your Word, “The Lord make His face shine upon you and give you peace,” be fulfilled in their lives from this very moment.
In Jesus’ name, Heavenly Father, we pray.
Amen. Amen.
