"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24 NIV
Join the conversation with my friend Lori, a 15-year Homeschool Mama, who encourages women in the value of the sovereign and noble assignment from the Lord; the ministry of our home.
Tips for successful ministry in our homes:
- Find time to be alone with the Lord.
You may feel unseen, but He sees you and will minister to you.
"Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you." James 4:8 - Find ministry partners.
It is essential to find other women who get the value of what you are doing and will come alongside you. - Remember this is Kingdom Work!
"God will never call us to a ministry outside of our home at the expense of our home." Lori - Pray for your family. Release control to God.
"We often can go into a place of fear and anxiety with parenting when we don't feel like we have control, but God is always reminding me that I am a parent, but He is THE parent." Lori
Prayer for our children from 2 Timothy 2:22-26: God, we ask that our children flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace. May they like King David, call on You from a pure heart and refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. Your Word says, "the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient, when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition." God lead us to repentance and help us to show our children the importance of repentance because it leads to the knowledge of the Truth. Bring our children to their senses! God, I ask that they escape the snare of the devil so that they are no longer captive by him to do his will. Lord let it be Your will that they follow all the days of their life. God, as is modeled in the Lord's Prayer, may Your Kingdom Come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
In Jesus name, Amen.
