How Revival & Children Are Connected?
The coming of Lord Jesus is nearer than we can think. This also means that we are gearing up to see the greatest move of God, the biggest revival that this world has ever seen! It will be the returning of the bride to the bridegroom Jesus in an unprecedented manner, with healing, signs and wonders.
Some years ago, as I was dwelling on this, I began seeing crowds and crowds of people rushing ahead like waves in a battle ground. It was the army of God getting ready for a battle. This army did not have sophisticated weapons and looked very normal. The most noticeable thing was the confidence in their strides and the way they were marching ahead with boldness and a sense of urgency.
What caught me as a surprise was that I saw the feet of those walking in the front.
These were tiny feet!
Those of little children!
That vision remains fresh in my mind as ever! I am absolutely convinced that children will be in the forefront of the end-time revival that is to come. This is where we as parents have a crucial role to play in the way we bring them up and prepare their hearts for what is to come.
It is noteworthy that in the Scriptures, God calls children as arrows in one’s quiver.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate (Psalm 127:3-5)
Sharp Arrows
In order to destroy the enemy, two things are important: One, your arrow should be sharp enough. Two, it should be aimed at the right target.
We can groom our children and give them proper direction only by the living and active Word of God. Now this is not a one-time job but has to be done over and over again.
This is when they will cause great damage to the kingdom of darkness. Indeed, every child is a mighty weapon potentially capable of impacting an entire generation for Jesus. May God give us the grace to prepare our children for what is to come!
