DCLM Sincere Milk 4 January 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Jesus Loves Little Children
TOPIC: JESUS LOVES LITTLE CHILDREN
MATTHEW 19:13-15
13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
KEY VERSE: “But Jesus said, suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:14).
MESSAGE:
A song writer wrote thus, “Jesus loves all little children, all the children of the world, Whether yellow, black or white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.” Jesus’ love for little children was evident in the Bible verse where Jesus rebuked His disciples for hindering the people that brought some children to Him. When Jesus saw this, He told His disciples “suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
He made it clear that except we are converted and receive the word as little children, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. In the sight of God, children are not insignificant but have great value. While the world may not give due attention to children, Jesus pays much attention to them and He wants children to know Him and love Him. Jesus is giving an open invitation to you in particular. He loves you and is standing at the door of your heart. He wants to enter into your heart to live there and be your Saviour and Master. Open your heart to Him as you repent and turn away from all your sins.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
