*Theme:* *No Child Gets Left Behind*

Matthew 18:2-5 Message Bible
2-5 For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, “I’m telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you’re not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God’s kingdom.

The 2014 movie 'Left Behind' which starred Nicolas Cage, is a mabout the rapture. In the movie, one theme that was prevalent is the fact that all the children around the world 'vanished'.

The nursery beds in the hospital were all empty. Leaving behind just the wrapping shawls and the cloths of these babies. Older children who were with their parents or guardians in the mall, planes and all over the cities also 'vanished' leaving behind their cloths and belongings and in some cases left them in their parent's arms as they got raptured while they were carried.

This theme in the movie re-emphasizes what Jesus was trying to pass across to His disciples in our anchor text: "The kingdom of heaven is for children: God's children. 

The heart of a child is pure and simple.
A child will play with any other child unless told not to by an adult.
A child is trusting of anyone he or she comes across. That's why it's easy for them to accept gifts from strangers.
A child will readily smile and laugh with anyone.
A child easily forgets when hurt or wronged.
A child readily believes in the ability of his or her parent to provide, protect and be there for them at all times.

We are called to spiritual maturity but we are never to outgrow our childlike simplicity.
Our childlike nature of absolute trust in our Father.
Our childlike nature of total dependence on our Father.
Our childlike nature of helplessness wherein only our Father can help us.
Our childlike nature of loving genuinely all around us.

We are children of God and none of His children gets left behind. None of His children gets abandoned or forsaken.

If you know you are not a child of God, you need to make a decision today. A day is coming when this "fabled-story" will become a reality. When it happens, being left behind will be the worst thing that would ever happen to you. The Bible says: 'two shall be together and one shall be taken'. Why don't you make that choice that in the eventuality where only one would be taken that you would be the one. It all starts with a simple decision. You too can become a child who is assured that when it's time you'll not get left behind.

Send me a private message or leave a comment. Allow me to lead you through this process. After all what else can you lose than losing a spot among those who'll be left behind here to face tribulation and suffering? Jesus loves you...

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
