Motherhood is a privilege and a great opportunity to make your own contribution in this life. Motherhood is not a position but a function. Not everyone who bears a child is a Mother. Motherhood is an office occupied by one who deliberately takes on the responsibilities and functions with the prerequisite anointing. There is an anointing to be a MOM!
Every generation is a reflection of the kinds of mothers in that generation.
Prov 1:8, 6:20-23
Mothers are TEACHERS, NURTURERS and INFLUENCERS!
-Herodias Mk6:21-24
- Rebecca Gen27:3-13
- King Lemuel's Mother Prov31:1
Teachers are instructors, explainers, encouragers, trainers, coaches
Nurturers are gardeners, groomers, tenderers
Influences are mentors, coaches, examples and inspirations
As a mother catch God's vision for your children and train them in line with what God showed you. Remember Rebecca (Gen25), Mary ( Lk1) and Samson's mother (Judges13).
