Title: Like little Children!
Jesus said, “What I’m about to tell you is true. You need to change and become like little children. If you don’t, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Anyone who takes the humble position of this child is the most important in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3-4 NIRV.
Devotion: Little children are mostly beautiful beings in and out. They are innocent and often very friendly especially amongst other children. They are playful, they easily fight over toys but almost IMMEDIATELY FORGIVE and play together again. This attribute differentiates children from adults. Children don't keep malice, gossip, covet, tell lies or do some of the evil things adults do.
This is why Jesus says to enter the kingdom of heaven one must become as little Children in character in addition to accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour. Any one who will make heaven must be able to live a simple life, have a forgiving spirit and live a life of total obedience as a child does.
Let's examine our lives this morning, is our character comparable to that of a child, do we still do things of the flesh? Galatians 5: 19-21. Any one who is controlled by the flesh is not a child and will not make heaven. Let's return to the basics. May God help us in Jesus name.
Dear reader, do you have concerns to share with us, please do. Hallelujah.
