SPIRITUAL PARENTHOOD-CALL FORTH THE WAILING WOMEN (PART 2)-A MOTHERS STUBBORN LOVE

2 Kings 4:30  And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. 

I heard a preacher speak about a woman, who on her death bed, called her five children to her. She had been praying that they commit their hearts to Jesus Christ for years and yet on her death bed, none had come to know the Lord.

She calls them to her  Bedside and says ' I have prayed for you all these years, that you would be saved, and I know God has answered my prayers'. Her kids did not take her seriously and after her death they went back to their drug dealing ways.

Years later these kids had gone to a church program and the last of the five of them was saved in that service. A mother had prayed and God had answered!

A mothers love is a strong force. 

A mother loves at all times. 

She isn't going to easily disown the baby she carried in her womb for nine months.I wonder what would happen if women turn this fierce love over in the place of prayer. I think I am right to assume that if they did, impossible things would become possible! Situations would change.

In the scripture above we read about a mother whose only son had died in her arms. She went to meet Elisha who had prophesied the child into her life. Elisha sends a servant to go and raise her child but she hangs on to him, refusing to let go. 

I wonder what would happen if women would choose to hold on to God in desperation for their homes, like this women did for her son.Instead of crying, complaining and getting upset, woman of God, why don't you rise up, go into your room, shut the door and get a hold of God.

I know your marriage isn't the best it can be, your kids may not be the best behaved, your husband is drunk half the time, its all messed up right now. Quit complaining and telling every one else about your business, it hasn't changed anything and it wouldn't change anything.

Like the woman in our story that dead marriage can work again. If only you can learn to take that burden to God and lay it out before him.

I know it hurts but God can turn it around. Your husband may not be saved but don't quit the marriage yet. Go to God in the place of prayer and see him work a miracle.

The only reason why it is called a miracle is because it defies human solution. Your kids can be saved, your husband can love you again, your home can know peace again but I dare you to rise up and pray!

Take hold of God, don't be worried if you haven't got the right vocabulary, He hears your heart.

Where are those mothers who can pray down heaven on their homes, family, children and the church? Wake up and cry, that we may join you. Heaven needs you and so do we.

Jer 9:17-18  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
