Power of a Praying Grand Mother

I was so scared because my exams were fast approaching and I was too sick to stay on
campus.

My family had been under so much
stress, I felt so sorry for my mum but I was helpless!

As I tapped on the door, grandma was there to get hold of me. Tears streamed down my face. I have never been so
scared.

She managed to freshen me up despite my body weakness. She took hold her anointing oil and began to pray for
me. With everything within her she poured her heart to the Lord.

When she was done, I couldn’t hold
back my emotions and I began to cry again. She begged me to stop!

I slept off and by the evening time, I
was well. Strength came upon my fragile body. The Lord healed me. The
medications came later on when my mum got home.

Oh gal, there is tremendous power in
prayers. 

We may not see it or feel it but the Lord hears our prayers. That day
replays in my head every time I think of my grand mum. 

Now my grandma is old, frail and her memory fading but she is never too tired or too forgetful to pray!

If you had read my book, I mentioned
how she taught me to prayer  and that became a bedrock for taking my prayer life seriously. If you don’t have a copy, please grab one here. 

In a guest post I wrote for Susan Mead, I shared how my faith also grew through the impact of my grand dad. Read all about it HERE.

There is so much we can do
for our grand children. If the Lord gives us that privilege, it is worthwhile
holding our little grand babes in prayers through God’s Word.  

Like Grandma Lois, Timothy’s grandmother, we should carry the flame of the gospel so much so that after we are gone it continues to burn. Grandma Lois’ flame burned so brightly that it kindled the same fire in the life of her daughter, Eunice. 

Eunice had learnt so much from her mom. that faith she had seen, the testimony and the life her mother led was a powerful instrument in her life. Eventually, her grandson became on of the renowned men of faith in his day.

Let us raise children
who would carry on the fire of the gospel. His grandmother, Lois, was mentioned
as a pillar of faith in his life so also his mother, Eunice.

It careless for us to leave our
children with options when it comes to their choosing our faith. There is so much evil in the world but we can guide their hearts through constantly sowing seeds of faith. 

Prayer: May my grand kids see the glitters of faith littered around them and follow a path of Grace I have tread. May the Lord grant that our lives be as light houses in the midst of the dark world. May our kids and grand kids see the way we have lived out our faith and choose to walk in the way of the Lord. 

And as we become grandparents or already are, we
can do much more in the place of constant prayers, living out our faith with
testimonies to show.

Are you a grandparent? How are you encouraging your grand kids in the Lord?

By His Great Grace,

Thanks for your understanding and I appreciate your kindest comments
