Fire Scripture:
Colossians 3:20-25;1 John 4:16-18
20 Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, don’t upset your children. If you are too hard to please, they might want to stop trying.
22 Servants, obey your masters in everything. Obey all the time, even when they can’t see you. Don’t just pretend to work hard so that they will treat you well. No, you must serve your masters honestly because you respect the Lord. 23 In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master. 24 Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, who will give you what he promised his people. Yes, you are serving Christ. He is your real Master. 25 Remember that anyone who does wrong will be punished for that wrong. And the Lord treats everyone the same.
1 John 4:16-18
16 So we know the love that God has for us, and we trust that love.
God is love. Everyone who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them. 17 If God’s love is made perfect in us, we can be without fear on the day when God judges the world. We will be without fear, because in this world we are like Jesus. 18 Where God’s love is, there is no fear, because God’s perfect love takes away fear. It is his punishment that makes a person fear. So his love is not made perfect in the one who has fear.
MFM MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
What are your fears about parenting? God the Father, as creator and Lord of all things, fears nothing because He is greater than everything.
Jesus was a faithful and loyal Son to his Father. Therefore, He had no fear. He was never driven or overcome by fear when he was with His disciples. His life, while parenting on earth, was short and was so powerful. Unlike us, Jesus was never driven or overcome by fear. He was driven only by His Father’s will, but He constantly had to comfort and reassure His disciples against fear.
Another major reason Jesus came on earth was to parent us by teaching us how to think and act like our heavenly Father. Apostle Paul followed the same example when he was with Timothy, his son in the faith. In 2 Timothy 1:7, he said, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
God is not a God of fear. As His children, we should not be children of fear. We should raise our children to be free of fear. But our goal as parents is to reproduce children who will be like us and ultimately like God, our original parent. Also, our primary task is to train our children in the way of the Lord.
Our Fire Scripture says, “God is love.” God wants His children to bear His likeness. When we accepted Jesus as our Lord and personal Saviour, we received the Spirit of God which is love. The same love that characterises Him characterises us.
The question is – what difference would it make if you could live without fear? What difference would it make in your children’s life if they do the same too?
