MARKING AND CHERISHING A SPECIAL CHILD
"And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months."
The jealousy anyone has over anything is visibly seen in the preciousness of that thing. May you stop regarding after the flesh, as common or as ordinary what has another side, dimension and blessing to it that you haven't seen.
If you cannot decipher the preciousness of your child, you'll treat him or her as ordinary. As a matter of fact, you can't give him any special education - in the direction of his utmost passions, the kind that can train and harness his talents and gifts for what he should obviously become.
Many parents might have prayed for a creative and talented child but the truth is that they just cannot decipher one. There are children who have been isolated because their uniqueness, gifting and manifestations differ from what eyes have accustomed itself with. Shouldn't be.
On the day Moses was born, the mother could visibly sense that there was something different about him. When KJV says, "and the child is beautiful", it clearly means some other things in other versions. It means, Moses is a special or destiny child. So, what the mother smelled was a foretaste of his future and that God has a plan for this boy.
Jochebed could smell his destiny and that God may have a need for this one. For that reason, a boy who could have been yielded up was not released. Rather, they stuck out their necks for him. They took the risk and hid him for three months. Why all these efforts? That would be because of the specialness of the 'cargo' they have at hand. When you see into the spiritual side of a child - even your own child, your attitude immediately changes towards them. You don't relate with them carelessly but rather you call people to do in view of what you have discovered. That's why Moses' parents sought all means to retain him. Who does not want a special child - a child of destiny?
Taking this further, you'll also see that Miriam didn't leave for home after Moses was dropped off at the Nile.
"And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him."
She stayed back wanting to see what would happen to the baby. That's part of the care system and cherishing that goes into discovering the worth of your kid. You'll retain a special jealousy for him or her. You won't let anyone call them some subtle diminishing names. Rather, everything will be in view of who God says they are and should be.
Let me ask you, have you seen the other side of your child? If you haven't, you will treat them anyhow. You'll send them to go and spend their holidays with relatives who are not even born again and cannot harness them for destiny. You won't be able to protect what should be hedged. Rather, you'll leave them vulnerable until the devil goes for what makes them who they are.
You must quickly see now and begin to give your kids the demands of their destinies.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: My child is a beautiful child. He/she carries a special destiny and is key in the volume of God's book.
