Bible Reading: Psalm 144: 11-15
Memory Verse: Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD Almighty, who dwells on Mount Zion. Isaiah 8:18 (NIV)
I stumbled across a television programme where a Medical Doctor in civil service was talking passionately about the sophisticated strategies the youth of today are devising to bring drugs into their homes whilst they play on the intelligence of their parents. She said there are cookies now loaded with drugs that is odourless and colourless which their friends could simply send as a birthday gift. Have you observed recently that your child is withdrawn. Perhaps he/she locks himself/herself more than usual in the room. Take time to observe what such a child is doing.
Dear Parents, do you know there are now injurious substances trapped in containers that look like markers or inks but they are known as Vape pens or E-cigarettes. It is mostly sold in supermarkets, stationary shops and open bars. These e-pens are used by Vaping them. Vaping is the inhaling of a vapour created by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette). E-cigarettes (or “vape pens”) heat a liquid until it becomes a vapor, which is inhaled.
The liquid (called e-liquid or “vape juice”) contains nicotine or marijuana distillate or oil. E-cigarettes can be refillable or pre-filled with cartridges containing the e-liquid. The pre-filled e-cigarettes (called “Puff Bars”) are designed for one-time use. After taking a certain number of “puffs,” the user throws the device away. Let us be alert. Drug dealers are using all possible ways to initiate and entice our children mostly teenagers and young adults into drug and substance abuse.
EVANGELISM IS GOD’S HEARTBEAT.
BE A PART OF THIS.
GO, GROAN AND GIVE TOWARDS IT.
