Before we sit down let us give a standing ovation to all the mother that here and all the mothers that are listening live and that will be listen.
One of the critical roles on this earth is the role of a mother. I thank God for my mother and all the spiritual mothers that are and have been in my life.
Where will this world be without godly mothers. Not just those that have a form of godliness.
But does that have been examples of long obedience in the same direction.
Those who have been filled with the precious Holy Spirit and have dedicated themselves to be disciples and students of Christ.
Also those who learned from mistakes, failures, and the things they suffered.
Mother never under-estimate your influence on your children and even your adult children and grandchildren.

1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
I am glad that King Lemuel gave credit to his mother for Words that he will share with us today.
I remember my mom teaching me the golden rule paraphrased “treat other like you want them to treat you” Although I am not perfect those word from Matt 7:12 was deeply planted in my heart so like King Lemuel I must give my mother credit for many of the things learned.
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Wisdom lesson 1:
Young mother of young children understand that you are raising a royalty ( kings and queens)- You are raising someone that was created in the image of God and has been call have dominion over the things of earth. ( Remember God’s original plan). Therefore use the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit as you source to train them. Proverbs 22:6
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Older parents of adult children or parents were not the best examples or failed to train their child. God is able to make all grace abound.
Keep you child covered with prayer and intercession.
Rid yourself of guilt and trust in God’s goodness and grace.
Ask God for wisdom and guidance.
Wisdom Lesson 2:
Teach your children to abstain from substances that will impair their ability to make good decision. This includes be alcohol and drugs abuse.
3 Give not thy strength unto women, Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; Nor for princes strong drink: 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, And pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. 6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, And wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, And remember his misery no more. 8 Open thy mouth for the dumb In the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. 9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
