BABY DEDICATION

(Blessing of Baby B 05-11-2005)

Psalms 127:3-5 (Living) Children are a gift from the Lord. The one who gives us children also tell us how to train these children to grow in the ways of the Lord. The Bible is like the manufacturer's manual. Children need guidance like arrows in a warrior's hands.
Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. It is difficult to train a child when he/she is old. The earlier you start the better. The thugs and criminals have also been children to their parents. They were supposed to have had proper training in the way of the Lord.
Psalms 112:2 The children of the upright shall be blessed. My children shall be mighty upon the earth – not naughty upon the earth.
Matthew 19:13-15 Jesus blessed the children. I also lay my hands on B and bless her. "In the name of Jesus Christ I pronounce the Lord's blessings upon you. You shall stay in good health. You shall grow with good parental care. You shall be wise in school. You will grow to be mighty upon the earth. In the name of Jesus, you are blessed."
Abraham was blessed, that's why he did not mind where Lot would choose to go. Wherever he would go, he was blessed.
Jacob had to cheat Esau out of his blessings. He even wrestled with the angel of the Lord to be blessed. Blessings empower us to prosper and succeed while curses empower people to fail.
