TEACH YOUR CHILDREN


These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress
them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you
walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

An extraordinary life in Christ does not just depend on teachings,
circumstances or comfort. In many countries in the world today there are
severe restrictions and obstacles facing parents in instructing their
children in the ways of the Lord. In communist countries like China and
Vietnam it is officially against the law to share the gospel with anybody
under the age of eighteen years, including your own children.

In the Middle East, Christian schools are non-existent and Christian
children are forced to attend Muslim schools and receive instruction from
the Koran and Muslim teachers. Yet, it seems as if Christian families in
restricted areas are more Godly and committed to the Lord than their
counterparts in the west, where opportunities abound and Christians live in
abundance.

The lessons that we learn from the persecuted church are of far more value
than seminars or devotionals can ever be-the lessons of true discipleship
and wholesome living. Lessons that are neither theology nor speculation but
teachings of life, reality and practice.

Gerhard Hamm was one of the thousands of faithful believers through whom
God's light continued to shine in the Soviet Union during the years when
communism reigned there.

He grew up in the Ural Mountains where his parents farmed. But then
communism arose and in 1929 the "bandits" came, as Gerhard later often
called the Bolsheviks. Because his father was a Christian and of German
descent, he was arrested and exiled to Siberia. The farm was confiscated.

Mother Hamm and her twenty children also moved to Siberia. For a few years,
the family was together. Then Gerhard's father was taken away from his
family and never came back. None of the family knows where his grave is. All
the churches were closed and atheistic propaganda was being disseminated all
around

As a young boy Gerhard lost his father, his security, his home and his
freedom-all because of the name of Jesus. Hunger and cold were his daily
lot, an obvious reason for a young teenager to resent God and His commands.
But despite the difficulties, ridicule and persecution, Mother Hamm prayed
every day with her children, and they read the Bible together.

When Gerhard Hamm died in 1999 at the age of 76, he left a legacy of
faithful children behind. All of his children and their spouses were devoted
Christians. His grandchildren have all committed their lives to the Lord.
All of Gerhard's nineteen brothers and sisters and their spouses and
children followed the footsteps of Jesus and many are still involved in
various ministries reaching all corners of the globe.

RESPONSE: Today I will take seriously the challenge of teaching, training
and discipling my children or young people with whom I have close
relationship.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live a life of self-sacrifice so young people will
see You and want to follow.
