Pay Attention! by Neesha M. Stringfellow

A word of wisdom for all parents. I happened to be sitting in the room with my youngest daughter and asking her who was she chatting with online, she told me it was a guy who she plays UNO with online.
The innocence of my daughter not knowing how dangerous it can be just by playing a game online. Without overreacting I told my daughter the seriousness of the situation. Okay maybe I did go a little crazy to get the point accross.
I thought I would share this today because many parents get so busy with the hustle and bustle of life and don’t pay attention to our children. I recognize that the Lord wants us to slow down and raise our children in the fear of the Lord, however if we are too busy we will miss whats going on in their life.
When I was growing up I did not know that I would get caught in everything I did wrong, no matter how big or small it was. I always got busted. The Lord made sure my parents would show up at just the right time. I have prayed for this very thing to happen to my children, and if you ask them the would agree that this has happened to them over and over again. I told the devil, He can not have my home, and my children, God has given me authority and dominion to see the adversary and command him to flee. The famous saying ” not on my watch” not with my eyes open. I believe the Holyspirit lets us know whats going on in our childrens lives…. but are WE LISTENING?
More and more we hear about the statistics of the world with circumstances I believe can be prevented.
Its great to do the work of the ministry, Its awesome to be called by God to fufill His will for our lives, but I have come to PAY ATTENTION to the fact that my first ministry is to my children. I was given the assignment to raise my children in the FEAR OF THE LORD!
The scripture says… what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul…… There are many revelations for this scripture but the Lord
gave me revelation on this scripture for me and my house, its okay to be busy, its okay to preach to the masses, counsel the world, travel the entire country, becoming successful in the eyes of man, but it does not mean a thing when your entire household is out of order. What is the point if your children are lost and you have saved the entire world. The two to me don’t mix.
I heard the Lord say to me “Pay Attention” and yes I have taken heed over and over again, and today is another day to go deeper and continue to Pay Attention! I encourage you to do the same!
God Bless You!
