Identity

This word has been rummaging through my mind in prayer especially in terms of teaching, as it pertains to who we really are and what we really are about. Ask yourself what your identity is and what Jesus has anointed you to do? If you are a Sunday school teacher are you merely anointed for Sunday morning? Are you only anointed to teach one age of children? Are you anointed to teach only with certain material? The identity of this ministry is to teach a child about Jesus anywhere we can, anytime we can, and with whatever is available to teach with. Our identity is not a classroom, the number of children we are given to teach, or a certain day of the week. Just as our identity as a witness of Jesus Christ cannot be regulated to certain days of the week neither is the anointing to teach. Use every opportunity to teach a child about Jesus regardless of the place, the time, or the number. Though I don’t know the circumstances behind this comment of Abraham Lincoln I believe in the message it speaks as he once stated “No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child." As Jesus instructed his disciples when he said “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven” do the same and lead them right to him. JHK
