Mothers can decide the future of their child

Isaiah 66 vs 13a – As a mother comforts her child , so will I comfort you.
It is very rare to see God comparing himself to man but in the verse above he compares the way He comforts to the way a mother comforts her child.
God can not be compared to any one because the Lord himself said in Isaiah 45 vs 5-6 that I am the Lord, and there is no other , apart form me there is no God, from the rising of the sun to its setting there is none besides Me. When Moses ask the Lord for a name in case the children of Israel decides to ask him who sent him,the Lord told him I AM THAT I AM – Exodus 3 vs 14 . Hannah the mother of Samuel even confessed in 1 Samuel 2 vs 2 that there is no Rock like our God. The Lord was only trying to praise our mothers and letting them know He sees the way they have been comforting the children He gave to them.
Some men may be wondering if God ever compared himself to a father , well in Psalm 103 vs 13, He said As a father has compassion on his children , so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him . Fathers the Lord sees you effort too . God is also a father too because in the books of Psalm 68 vs 5 , the bible calls him the a Father to the Fatherless and in Deuteronomy 10 vs 18, the bible says he defends the cause of the fatherless and the widows, So let somebody shout Hallelujah .Amen
Mothers can decide the destiny of a child. In Exodus 2 vs 1 – 10 , we see a mother who risked her life for her son . Pharaoh had ordered that every male child born to the Hebrews be cast in to the river but the mother of Moses refused to throw her son into the river. It was not an easy task to keep him especially when other mothers were forced to throw their children in the river. The mother of moses persisted and did everything in her hand to keep him alive. If not for her , Moses would not have fulfilled his destiny of leading the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Jacob was destined to be a mighty nation. He was created for greatness .The blessings of Abraham and Isaac were meant to be his but by virtue of birth he lost it to Esau his twin brother who was the senior  and the blessing of the father goes to the firstborn. To compound matters he lacked skills ,the bible records in Genesis 25 vs 27 that Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field but Jacob was only a mild man ,dwelling in tenths . As if that was enough , Isaac his father did not think much of him but really loved Esau  because he ate of his game – Genesis 28 vs 28 . The only thing Jacob had going for him was the love of his mother . A day came , Isaac decided to reward his son-Esau for all the game he had eaten, so he asked Esau to go and kill a game and bring it that he may bless him. Rebekah had this and quickly called Jacob and they planned something . Before Esau came Jacob had received all the blessings . By the time we get to Genesis 27 vs 37 , Isaac was telling Esau that he made Jacob head over him .
The mother of Jabez did not set out to curse her son but due to birth pains she saw Jabez as a painful experience so she called him Jabez meaning born out of pain.From that day onward Jabez became an agent of pain but thank God he prayed and the Lord answered him. I pray that Lord will remove all the pains in your life in Jesus name, amen.
The mother of King Lemuel in Proverbs 13 vs 1- end  knew that her son had colorful destiny so she began to teach him how to live and behave so that he will fulfill his destiny. In 2 Samuel 12 vs 25 Solomon was named by God as Jedidiah meaning the beloved of the most hign . Solomon was  destined to be the wisest king that ever lived.  Adonijah , one of Davids son suddenly decided to make himself king and the David did not really mind but thank God for Nathan who went to go and meet Solomons mother and advised her. The mother of Solomon – Bethsheba met with King david , before the end of that day Solomon was made a king.
Do you know that Mary the Mother of Jesus also played an important role in the ministry of Jesus. Mary was present at the first miracle of Jesus , when Jesus was saying mother it is not my time , She was telling the servants in John 2 vs5 that whatever Jesus tells them they should do it.We know the end of the story that water turned to wine.
God takes mothers seriously . In Proverbs 18 vs 22 , the bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtain favour from God. Since every wife will eventually become  a mother, as a wife is a good thing so also is a mother and mothers are agent of favor from God. Do you know that Jesus lived his life for mothers while on earth ? All the  miracles, healing, deliverance, food provision was for mothers for example the mad man of Gatherer who was delivered of a thousand demons in  Mark 5vs1-15 was the son of a mother ,Lazarus who Jesus resurrected in John 11 vs 39 -44 was the son of a mother , the woman that was healed of the issue of blood in Matthew 9 vs 20 was a daughter of a mother. Everything Jesus did was for mothers even the Fig the tree Jesus cursed in Matthew 21 vs 19 . The Fig tree failed to produce fruit for a Mary’s ‘s son -Jesus Christ to eat so He cursed it. Do you know that when Jesus overturned the table of the money changers in Matthew 21 vs 12 he was only trying ensure that the Lord’s wrath will not come on the money changers because what they were doing was wrong. He was only trying to ensure that the mothers of those money changers will not weep over them.
Mothers are very important In our lives , that is why we need to always strive to make them happy because making them happy makes God happy.The bible says in Ephesians 6 vs 2 that we should honor our fathers and mothers as it is not only a commandment but there is a blessing attached to it. In Exodus 20 vs 12 the bible say the only way to long life is by honoring our fathers and mothers. Deuteronomy 5 vs 16 says that all those who want it to be well with them should honor their fathers and mothers . If you are not in talking terms with your father or mother you better go and apologize to them . If there is anyone going through any difficulty or problem , they should go and meet their parents and ask them to bless them. God is not happy with any child fighting or disobeying their parents.
Our mothers are good. They love us but they can only do little to help us.Our mothers can love us and comfort us but they can not protect us from diseases like cancer but our God can not only protect from diseases but he can heal diseases because He said in Exodus 15 vs 26 that He is the Lord that heals. Every mothers wants her child to be promoted in their places of work but there is little they can do but the bible says in Psalm 75 vs 6-7 that exaltation comes neither from the east nor west nor south but from God who is the Judge, He puts down one and exalt another . Although our mothers love to cook and feed us but the only One who satisfy us according to Isaiah 58 vs 11 is God.
Mothers do a lot for their kids but as they grow old their strength diminishes according to Isaiah 40 vs 28 our God never grows tired or weary . Every mother has a mother. Every mother came to this world through a mother . The whole mothers depend on God because  He has promised them in Isaiah 46 vs 4 that he will carry them even to their gray hairs. It is possible for a mother to forget her child but Lord can not forget you -Isaiah 49 vs 15 .
No mother can save except Jesus . The only person who died for us is Jesus Christ. The bible said in John 3 vs 16 that out of love God sent Jesus Christ to die for us and that whosoever will believe in him will not die but have everlasting life. Jesus said in Matthew 11 vs 28 that come to me , all you who labor and heavy laden ,and I will give you rest. This  call is for everyone , children , fathers ,aunties , uncles, sisters including mothers.Come and give your life to Christ and begin to enjoy rest.
If you have not giving your life to Christ , it is not too late . He will forgive all your sins , did I hear ALL ? Yes all .If you have giving your life before and backslidden ,Jesus wants to take you back.
You can do so now by confessing with your mouth that Jesus is lord . Please pray this prayer with me : Lord Jesus, I give myself to You,for You to be my only Lord and Savior. I renounce and repudiate all other loyalties, and I desire no other Lord but You. Please come into me and take control of my life. Mold me to your will and to your use. I ask that you drive out all other spirits which conflict with you in anyway. I want to belong only to you, to be subject only to you. I make this prayer to you, in your name ,the name of Jesus . Amen .
Welcome to Christ brethren , Please join a bible believing church.
Shalom
