THE POWER OF MOTHERLY COUNSEL

June 25, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

2Chron22:3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.

In the development of every child , the mother is a vital figure within the family that aids the socialization of every child as some sociologists opined. There is a strong emotional link between mother and child that transcends what scientists and psychologists can explain. I believe God made it that way for a purpose.

A king in the bible did wickedly because he took to his mother's evil counsel. In Africa, mothers have a way of making their children obey them. Some may hold their breast and say 'except you didn't suck this breast, if you don't listen to me, I will curse you'. As funny as that may sound, some have used that threat to manipulate their children into doing the wrong things.

As a mother or would-be mother, God has given you a great influence on your seeds and he wants you to channel it in the right direction. Raising godly seeds needs the input of a God-made mother even as the father is playing his role actively. You have to be a spirit-filled mother so that you can give wise counsel because children confide in mothers more than fathers.

I may not have known what quiet time&daily bible study is about early in life if not for my mother. She bought me a jotter where she marks the notes I made daily from my personal bible study. Mothers, God gave you that special influence, use it wisely

Action point

Father, help all our mothers to perform their God-given roles wisely In Jesus name. Amen
