INSPIRATION AND INTERCESSIONARY PRAYERS FOR EDUCATORS
TO THE EDUCATORS' SUPPORT GROUP
GOD IS TOTALLY IN CONTROL OF OUR LIVES:
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A COMMENT WITH YOU BECAUSE I TOLD LEA THAT I WOULD BE DOING SO...
SOMETIMES WHEN WE ARE YOUNG WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAREER WE SHOULD CHOOSE... IF WE ARE COMMITTED CHRISTIANS I KNOW FOR SURE THAT GOD STEERS YOU INTO A DIRECTION... SOME PASTORS I KNOW NEVER THOUGHT AS YOUNG PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULD BECOME PASTORS... AND BECAUSE THEY ARE COMMITTED GOD USES THEM IN A VERY STRANGE BUT MIGHTY WAY. I KNOW OF MANY PEOPLE WHO, THOUGH ALSO, DEVOUT, PRAYED FOR SOME KIND OF JOB BUT THIS DID NOT MATERIALISE BECAUSE GOD HAD OTHER PLANS FOR THEM.
PRESENT DAY CIRCUMSTANCES ARE DRIVING MORE AND MORE YOUNG PEOPLE AWAY FROM BECOMING TEACHERS (EDUCATORS). THE MAIN REASON BEING THAT THE CHILDREN HAVE BECOME UNRULY AND WILD... DISOBEDIENT AND "INTOLERABLE". I HAVE EVEN LISTENED WITH SOME SADNESS TO PARENTS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL THEIR CHILDREN ANY LONGER - THERE IS NO DISCIPLINE AT SCHOOL. HOWEVER, I THINK IT IS THE DUTY OF EACH CHRIST FOLLOWING PARENT TO DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILDREN WITH LOVE AND DEVOTION. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE CHILD'S UPBRINGING IS IGNORED: TEACH THEM ABOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS AND PRAY FOR THEM AND PRAY TOGETHER WITH THEM!
I WILL, HOWEVER, BE VERY TRUTHFUL AND TELL ALL EDUCATORS THAT THEY ALSO NEED TO PRAY TOGETHER WITH THE PARENTS. AND PARENTS: PLEASE PRAY FOR THE EDUCATORS TOO. THIS DOES NOT ONLY APPLY TO PARENTS FO CHILDREN BUT TO GRANDPARENTS AND FAMILIES OF CHILDREN.
PRAYER IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE LIFE OF EACH CHRIST FOLLOWING PERSON BUT THAT IS ALSO BEING NEGLECTED! PRAYER SHOULD PLAY THE MOST IMPORTANT ROLE IN EACH ONE'S LIFE.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME EDUCATORS (TEACHERS) NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE SPECIAL. YOU HAVE TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR THE CHILDREN. MANY CHILDREN ARE BEING NEGLECTED BY PARENTS DUE TO THE FACT THAT MOST MOTHERS ARE FORCED BY CIRCUMSTANCES (NOT BY CHOICE) TO WORK IN ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT THE HUSBAND'S SALARY.
WE REALISE THAT EDUCATORS CANNOT BE FINANCIALLY COMPENSATED FOR THEIR WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTION. OUR CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE CITIZENS AND IT IS THE EDUCATOR'S JOB TO MAKE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS OF THEM.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE COMMITTED TO BECOME EDUCATORS (TEACHERS) KNOW THAT YOU ARE BLESSED. YOU ARE SPECIAL. YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY GOD TO LEAD THE YOUTH TO HIM AND TO MAKE RESPONSIBLE MEN AND WOMEN OF THEM. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP - BECAUSE GOD DOES NOT GIVE UP ON US...
THE STORY I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU IS ABOUT NEIL VERWEY ( A MISSIONARY WHO HAS BEEN WORKING IN JAPAN SINCE 1951). HE DID NOT THINK THAT HE WOULD BECOME A MISSIONARY. HE ACTUALLY STARTED STUDYING TO BECOME A PASTOR (A MINISTER). HE WAS A VERY ORDINARY MAN LIVING IN THE KAROO (A VERY DESERT-LIKE PART OF SOUTH AFRICA) AND HE HAD A GIRLFRIEND WHOM HE THOUGHT WAS THE WOMAN OF HIS DREAMS. HE JUST COULD NOT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HER. (NOW I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I PERSONALLY MET NEIL AND PEGGY VERWEY WHEN I WAS AN EDITOR AND TRANSLATOR WORKING AT CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING COMPANY (CUM) IN SOUTH AFRICA. SO, THIS STORY IS NOT "THUMSUCKING. IT IS INDEED A VERY TRUE AND REAL STORY).
WHEN NEIL VERWEY REALISED THAT GOD HAD "COMMISSIONED" HIM TO BECOME A MISSIONARY IN JAPAN HE WAS SURPRISED. BUT GOD REVEALED THIS TO HIM IN MANY WAYS AND HE WAS A DEVOUT AND OBEDIENT SERVANT OF GOD. HE PRAYED FERVENTLY ABOUT THIS AND EVENTUALLY HE TOLD HIS SWEETHEART WHAT HE HAD TO DO. SHE WAS IN A STATE OF SHOCK! JAPAN! NO WAYS!!! HE PLEADED WITH HER AND ASKED HER TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE FINALLY SAYING "NO".
THE END RESULT WAS THAT SHE REFUSED TO LEAVE HER FAMILY AND SOUTH AFRICA TO GO WITH NEIL. NEIL WAS DEVASTATED AND HE CRIED HIMSELF TO SLEEP FOR MANY A NIGHT. HOWEVER, HE HAD TO LISTEN TO GOD AND HE WENT TO JAPAN (END OF 1951).
ON JANUARY 1, 1952, PEGGE DAVEY ARRIVED FROM ENGLAND. SHE HAD JUST RECENTLY GRADUATED FROM A BIBLE COLLEGE IN ENGLAND AND WAS COMMISSIONED TO JAPAN AS A MISSIONARY. NEIL REALISED THAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY "THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS" THAT GOD HAD DESTINED FOR HIM! THEY GOD MARRIED ON THE 9TH SEPTEMBER 1954. I KNOW THAT ONE OF THEIR SONS (ALSO NEIL) MARRIED A JAPANESE GIRL AND THEY ARE ALSO GREAT SERVANTS OF GOD (MISSIONARIES)...
SO, IN HUMILITY, I SAY TO EACH OF YOU WHO HAVE BECOME EDUCATORS OR ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING EDUCATORS, BE ASSURED THAT THIS IS AN ASSIGNMENT FROM GOD. KNOW THAT HE HAS CHOSEN YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE SPECIAL. THE LORD CHOOSES SPECIAL PEOPLE TO DO SPECIAL WORK. IT IS THEREFORE, YOUR TASK AND MAKE IT YOUR PASSION, TO TEACH THE CHILDREN AND LEAD THEM TO GOD. I KNOW THAT CHRISTIANITY IS ABOLISHED IN SCHOOLS BUT YOU WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOW THEM THE LOVE OF JESUS. AND YOU WILL BE PRAYING FOR EACH ONE OF THEM. AND YOU WILL SOW SEEDS WHICH WILL FLOURISH. JUST ASK JESUS TO "WATER THEM AND FERTILIZE THEM" FOR YOU.
GO IN FAITH AND WEAR THE ARMOUR OF GOD AT ALL TIMES... YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MANY YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES.
BE HUMBLE, GENTLE AND KIND... AND ALWAYS REMEMBER (EVEN HOW DESPONDENT OR ANGRY YOU MAY BECOME: THINK:
W W J D..... "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO"???
FOND LOVE AND I PROMISE MANY PRAYERS FROM ME FOR YOU AND OUR FUTURE CITIZENS (OUR YOUTH)...
