The Director of Sunday School, Christ Apostolic Church, Worldwide Pastor S.O. Aluko has said that God has never joked with the issue of children in the world and Ministers of God shouldn’t be less concerned with preparing and preserving them.
He noted that God gives the children for specific glorifying purposes and programmes, emphasizing that they are bundle of potentials, leaders of tomorrow, full of life despite the present limitation.
Pastor Aluko said this yesterday Thursday July 26, 2018 while ministering on the topic “The Roles of the Church in Preparing and Preserving the Children at the ongoing 25thnational decentralized children workers seminar, 2018 organised by the Sunday School department of CAC Worldwide holding at Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun state.
The Director of Sunday School stated that Pastors should regularly pay the children surprise visits to encourage, pray for, and bless them.
“The children should be taught to reference God, honour and live for the Lord’s salvation early in this corrupt world. They should be groomed in sound doctrine. It is erroneous to think that our children will catch our God-given values by simply being around us at home and the church. Also, some people think preparing and preserving the children is not worth effort. This is also erroneous.”
“Churches must do everything possible to help the parents to consciously and meaningfully equip the children. They must also be involved, in actual training of the children. The fact is: effectively passing our faith in Christ Jesus and the godly legacies of our patriarchs of faith, begins at home as spiritual practices, and should be corroborated by the Church in the relevant,” he noted.
