In Luke 7, Jesus observed a huge funeral procession in Nain. The entire town was present. He observed the young men and women weeping. He observed the pastors and apostles weeping. He observed the elders weeping. He observed the fathers weeping. He observed the children weeping. He observed the sadness on people’s faces.
Nothing seemed to move Him, until *HE SAW THE MOTHER*. The bible says He had compassion when He saw her and immediately raised her boy from the dead. (Luke 7:12-15). *It was the cry of a mother that moved the Heart of God.*
Still today, Mothers who cry before the Lord for their families, for their marriages, for their homes, move the Heart of God. *When Mothers stop praying, their families (especially their children) perish.* Satan gets a foothold and starts to destroy the home, yet *when they return to their rightful place as the anchor of the home*, demonic strongholds get demolished.
In Psalms 17, 36, 57, 63, and 91 God’s role is likening to that of a Mother. As a Mother protects, upholds and defends her children, so does God also protect us under the shadow of His Wings . We find refuge there and can hide there until the danger is over. *A mother’s role is so vital that a father cannot get his prayers answered if he dishonours/ disrespects her (1 Peter 3:7).*Because, of this favour over mothers, they are also the most attacked persons in the home. *The devil is terrified of Mothers.* Yet the Lord has put inside Mothers grace and resilience to overcome any situation.
Today, As the woman of the home, consider yourself blessed. Consider yourself highly favoured and consider yourself dangerous when you pray.
I urge all mothers to keep praying for their families.
God bless you as you do so.
