The influence of a godly grandparent

‘One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.’ Psalm 145:4 NKJV

Fanny (Frances Jane Crosby) was known as America’s ‘Hymn Queen.’ She was blinded at six weeks old at the hands of a fake doctor. But her grandmother Eunice resolved that Fanny would never grow up feeling disabled or deprived. Eunice devoted years to training Fanny in all kinds of things—teaching her the Bible, assisting her in exploring nature, and enabling her to develop incredible powers of memory. Fanny memorised large sections of the Bible. From that treasury of Scripture, she later produced some of the best-loved hymns we sing today. Blessed Assurance, To God Be the Glory, All the Way My Saviour Leads Me, and He Hideth My Soul.

In the Bible, Timothy had a grandmother named Lois, whose prayers and example helped mould him into none other than the apostle Paul’s successor. Paul writes, ‘… I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother …’ (2 Timothy 1:5 NKJV). Never underestimate the influence you have as a grandparent. As you pour yourself into your grandchildren, you may be moulding servants of the Lord. If you are a grandparent, claim this promise from the Scriptures: ‘One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.’ (Psalm 145:4)

Perhaps your children have disappointed you and failed to raise your grandchildren in the ways of the Lord. Don’t be discouraged, and don’t give up. ‘So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one’ (Ezekiel 22:30 NKJV). Your prayers are God’s invitation and entry point into the lives of both your children and your grandchildren. So, ‘stand in the gap’, and believe God for the salvation of your family.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE

Read:
.
The essence of the anointing of God in your life is not for show but for service. Service is a fundamental aspect of leadership. The moment you remove service from your life, there is no room for good leadership. People should see the good example you are showing and praise God for your life....More
