Hello Hivers , Today I had a very good experience and was blissful . A child was dedicated and there was Thanksgiving what a celebration ?
I was able to understand the reason and need behind dedication through the expatiation of the man of God now to the business of the day , Yeah ! Business , because serving the Lord is a serious business.
WHY DO YOU DEDICATE A CHILD ?
Taking a look at the scripture , The book of Luke 2 : 20 -22 , yeah ! looking into the word you can see to present him/her to the Lord, that is one of the reason of dedicating a child to the Lord .
We as parents are care takers the Lord is the true owner. So as the true owner He needs to be updated on every aspect of the child's life , The Bible says that train up a child in the way he should go so that when he grows up he will not depart from it , Proverbs 22 : 6(KJV) .
There was a man in the time of Jesus Christ that was not to die until he sees our Lord Jesus his name was Simeon ; he was a priest at that time Luke 2 : 26 - 32.
You can not know what a child worth until you take him to the Lord if you still read through you will discover that his mother and father were amazed by the speech of the man of God
We take our child to the Lord to receive the blessings of their true parent , if you pause a little and think why ? Do you realize that the children of God possess a striking like that makes us different from the people of the world , why is this child highly favored , this child is a guru , the present of this child has changed our lives ? it's our striking like as that of Jesus.
Nevertheless , we take our child to the Lord to make their path straight as the Bible say in Luke 2 : 40.
Thanks for reading my post blessed be the writer , reader , hearer and doer of His word to the salvation of our soul , Amen.
