If the teacher is not in the spirit, how can she pass Him to the children? The teacher is not winning the children to herself, but for Jesus. That is why she rebukes and praises with wisdom. there is no point in creating a thousand fun games for the children to play and in the end they didn't come to know the Way, the Truth and the Life.
" Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me..." Luke 9.48
2. Do not treat the Kidszone as a child daycare center
Many teachers think: " The only reason why the children are here is to not interrupt the pastor's service". she then sits down and lets the children do whatever they want without realizing the big mistake she is making.
The lesson for the day is what God wants to show the children.
" But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother." Proverbs 29.15
3. Be commited
Arriving late, not reading or meditating the lesson for the day, not preparing the materials for the lesson, etc. are a few examples of teachers who don't dedicate themselves to give their best to God and to the little ones.
" cursed is he who does the work of God deceitfully..." Jeremiah 48.10
4. Leave your problems outside the Kidszone
we all go through problems and hardships, but we cant bring them with us to the classroom. Doing so will make the teacher nervous, tense, and will not be able to help the children. always pray by yourself before calling the children and leave your problems in the hands of God.
" Come to me , all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" Mathew 11.28
