Protect Your Child II

‘Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths’ Prov.3:5-6 [KJV].

As a protector, it is your responsibility to protect your children against abuse and molestation. Some people abandon their children because of social functions and relatives, neighbors, or house helps molest these children. The children do not want to talk to their parents because they are hurt that their parents abandoned them and that was why something bad happened. It is natural for your children to see you as their protector. If you watch any child who is faced with danger, the first person the child runs to is the parent. This is how God has mapped it out so you owe it to your children to protect them from physical harm. There was a case where a five or seven year old girl was left in the care of a lady who was struggling with lesbianism and the lady began to abuse the little girl. You have to supervise everything and also rely on the Holy Spirit because He alone knows the hearts of men. I believe that fathers should teach their children how to war spiritually and physically. I personally have plans to teach my children how to give just one knock out punch but I will educate them on what circumstances they can use it. I know being a pastor and all some people will have a problem with that but the truth is that I am just very pragmatic. I have daughters in the Lord who because of the training I have given them, it is almost impossible for them to get rapped. I know some people cannot handle such things but they must be said. It is all outlined in the Bible. Guess what, the Holy Spirit is also interested in your safety and He is well able to teach you how to defend yourself so you can in turn teach your children. I know some people again will perceive this as harsh. Yet if you know what happens to abused children you will know that these measures are not harsh at all. It is your duty to protect your children physically and spiritually from abuse or molestation. Put a spiritual covering in place daily over your children and hide them in God’s secret place.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I commit my children into Your hands. Be a shield and a wall of fire round about them. Disappoint every device of the crafty against them, in Jesus Name.
