MILK FOR THE CHILD FUND

MILK

FOR THE CHILD FUND

Would you give milk to a famished child?

M ilk is very essential to life

growth and development.

Everyone needs milk. Much as it

is important, there are children who do not

even get the cheapest yet most valuable type of

milk which is the breast milk. Several reasons can be given for this. As

a result, their physical growth is affected, mental development is

retarded. Lament. 4:4 says "The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth

to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and

no man breaketh it unto them. " (KJV).

Do you know there are some children who do not have access to Daily

Milk? It is not because they are in remote places or out of

Communication coverage. The only reason is that they cannot afford it.

Would you be used of God to give such children the "Milk" needed for

spiritual growth? A copy of Daily Milk (now in full colour) is N350

The 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000 or more copies you pay for will be

distributed free to such children. This way, you would have helped to

catch them young for Christ. Last year, N83,400 was realized from

contribution for which we are very grateful.

Jeremiah 45:1-5

I will let you live

This short chapter ends the first

section of the book of the prophet

Jeremiah which dealt with God's

judgment on Judah (46-51 is

prophecy against other Nations and

52 is historical supplement). After

surviving the fall of Jerusalem,

Jeremiah was forcefully taken to

Egypt, yet he remained faithful in

spite of Jerusalem's destruction.

Years of obedience had made him

strong and courageous.

In this passage, we have a message

of encouragement from God,

through Jeremiah, for Baruch. He

had been a faithful servant to God and

Jeremiah. However, he had become

discouraged. It seems he was

discouraged because of the king's

reaction to God's message which

Baruch read out to him. Notice the

promise God gave him through

Jeremiah in v.5.

However, God did not promise that

things would be easy for any of his

servants, neither for Jeremiah (see

1:17-19), nor for Baruch (v.2-5).

And he does not promise us an easy

life either. What he promises is his

abiding presence and help (Isaiah

43:1-5). See also Matthew 28:20b;

Romans 8:28.

Let us not be discouraged if the going

seems tough. Let us be among the

over comers. See the promises God

gave to the over comers at the end of

each of the seven letters to the churches

in Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

So: God does not forsake the

righteous

S.U. Chorus: If all were easy if all

were bright, where will the cross be

where would the fight, But in the hard

place God gives to me chances o

proving what He can do.

Prayer: Thank you Lord, for calling

me to follow you. Help me never to

give up but, despite all opposition,

keep me going strong to the end.
