WHEN THE CHURCH FORGETS THE CHILD

An Apostolic Letter on Children, Kingdom Continuity and the Future of the Church

By Chris K. | APOSTOLIC LETTERS SERIES

Apostolic greetings to the Body of Christ. Grace, mercy and peace be multiplied unto you.

There is something deeply troubling about building magnificent sanctuaries for adults while giving children whatever space, teachers and materials happen to remain.

Jesus did not treat children as an interruption to ministry.

When His own disciples attempted to restrict their access to Him, Jesus was displeased.

Mark 10:13–16 (NKJV):

“Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.’
And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.”

Pause there.

"that He might touch them"

Jesus was displeased when ministry structures became barriers between children and Himself.

That should concern every church leader.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY IS NOT BABYSITTING

If adults are receiving excellent discipleship while children are merely being kept occupied until service ends, we have misunderstood Kingdom succession.

God's instruction concerning His Word was intergenerational:

Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NKJV):

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”

God did not merely command us to protect children.

He commanded us to form them.

Childhood is one of the great formation seasons of human life. If the Church does not intentionally disciple children, other forces will gladly disciple them—peers, entertainment, algorithms, consumerism, ideologies and the surrounding culture.

Every generation is being formed by something.

WE CAN WIN A GENERATION AND LOSE THEIR CHILDREN

This is perhaps the greater danger.

A church may be crowded today and spiritually empty tomorrow if it fails to transmit the faith.

Israel experienced precisely this tragedy:

Judges 2:10 (NKJV):

“When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel.”

One generation experienced God.

The next generation merely inherited the environment.

Eventually, even the memory disappeared.

A revival that cannot disciple its children has already endangered its future.

THE COST OF NEGLECT

When child development becomes an afterthought, the consequences can be enormous:

Spiritually: children may know church activities without personally knowing Christ.

Developmentally: teaching may fail to match their age, questions and growing intellectual capacities.

Morally: other cultural forces may establish their values before biblical discipleship seriously begins.

Relationally: children may associate church with boredom, exclusion or adult religion rather than belonging.

Generationally: today's neglected child may become tomorrow's disconnected adult.

But intentional Christ-centred formation creates the opposite possibility:

A child learns Scripture.

A child learns prayer.

A child learns identity in Christ.

A child learns compassion, responsibility and service.

A child learns how to think biblically about the world.

And eventually, the child becomes an adult carrying Kingdom culture into another generation.

Paul reminded Timothy:

2 Timothy 3:15 (NKJV):

“And that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

Timothy's ministry did not begin when Paul ordained him.

Something had been planted in childhood.

THE CHRIST-CENTRED CHILDCARE CHECKLIST

Every church should be able to ask itself seriously:

ACCESS: Can children meaningfully encounter Christ here?

SAFETY: Do we have serious safeguarding, supervision and accountability systems?

DISCIPLESHIP: Are we teaching Scripture or merely entertaining children?

DEVELOPMENT: Is teaching appropriate to their different ages and stages?

PEOPLE: Are children's workers selected, trained, supported and spiritually mature?

ENVIRONMENT: Have we given children safe, dignified and adequately resourced spaces?

PARTICIPATION: Are children only spectators, or are they learning prayer, worship, generosity, service and mission?

PARENTS: Are we equipping parents to continue discipleship at home?

OUTCOMES: Beyond attendance, can we identify evidence of biblical understanding, character formation, belonging and spiritual growth?

SUCCESSION: Are we deliberately preparing today's children to become tomorrow's disciples, leaders, parents and Kingdom witnesses?

If we measure adult attendance meticulously but cannot answer these questions about our children, our metrics are incomplete.

THE KINGDOM IS ALSO THEIRS

Jesus said:

“Let the little children come to Me.”

That statement should influence our budgets.

Our buildings.

Our staffing.

Our safeguarding.

Our curriculum.

Our leadership meetings.

Our strategic plans.

Our prayers.

Children's ministry is not a side department of the Church.

It is Kingdom continuity.

The children sitting in our churches today are not merely the Church of tomorrow.

They are part of the Church today—and they are carrying tomorrow inside them.

APOSTOLIC PRAYERS

Father, forgive us wherever we have built ministries for adults while treating children as an afterthought. Give Your Church again the heart of Christ toward every child.

Lord, raise parents, pastors, teachers and children's ministers who will intentionally form a generation that knows You—not merely knows church.

Father, give us wisdom to build safe, excellent and deeply Christ-centred structures where children encounter Scripture, prayer, love, truth and the transforming presence of God.

May the generation after us know the Lord—and may they tell the generation after them.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

THE RIDER, THE HORSE AND THE MESSAGE

An Apostolic Letter With Chris K.

The Vessel That Carries the Assignment

Grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied unto every servant of God and every believer carrying the burden of Kingdom responsibility.

There was once a master who had an important message to deliver across the city and beyond. He entrusted the message to a faithful servant and provided him with a strong horse to carry him on the journey.

At the beginning, the rider cared deeply for the horse.

He fed it well.

He gave it water.

He allowed it time to rest.

He strengthened and trained it.

The horse was strong, and the message travelled far.

But as time passed, the rider became so focused on delivering the message that he neglected the very vessel carrying him.

The horse began eating whatever was available.

Proper nourishment was ignored.

Rest became limited.

Yet the rider continued demanding longer journeys.

The horse kept running because the assignment was important.

But eventually, the horse became weak, exhausted, and seriously sick.

The tragedy was this:

The message was still needed.
The rider was still willing.
The master still had a purpose.
But the horse carrying the assignment had become damaged.

THE REVELATION

Beloved servant of God, read this again:

God has called you.

There is a message to deliver.

There is a purpose to fulfil.

There is a Kingdom assignment to complete.

Your spirit is willing.

But the question is:

How healthy is the vessel carrying your spirit?

The real you is your spirit.

Your assignment comes from God.

But your body is the earthly vessel through which that assignment is expressed.

The spirit may be willing, but the body still requires stewardship.

Jesus Himself said:

Matthew 26:41 (NKJV)
“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Jesus was not condemning the disciples' desire. Their spirit wanted to obey, but their human limitation required attention.

THE BODY IS NOT THE MASTER, BUT IT IS THE CARRIER

Your body is not your identity.

Your body is not your purpose.

But your body is the instrument through which God allows you to fulfil purpose on earth.

Paul wrote:

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NKJV)

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

The body belongs to God.

Therefore, caring for it is not selfishness.

It is stewardship.

DO NOT LOSE THE HORSE WHILE DELIVERING THE MESSAGE

Many ministers love God deeply.

They pray.

They preach.

They sacrifice.

They carry burdens for others.

But sometimes, in their commitment to the assignment, they forget the vessel carrying the assignment.

They maintain the altar but neglect the temple.

They feed everyone spiritually but starve themselves physically.

They restore broken people but ignore their own exhaustion.

They strengthen others but refuse to admit their own weakness.

Yet Scripture says:

3 John 1:2 (NKJV)

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

God is interested in your health as much as your assignment.

EVEN MOSES NEEDED HELP

Moses was chosen by God.

He carried a divine assignment.

But even Moses could not carry everything alone.

Exodus 18:17-18 (NKJV)

“So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, ‘The thing that you do is not good.

Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself.’”

Notice:

Jethro did not question Moses' calling.

He questioned Moses' sustainability.

A genuine assignment still requires wisdom.

A WORD TO EVERY MINISTER

Your exhaustion is not always a sign of faithfulness.

Sometimes it is a sign that the horse needs care.

Rest is not laziness.

Rest is maintenance.

Nutrition is not carnality.

Health is stewardship.

Boundaries are not lack of love.

Wisdom is part of leadership.

Even Jesus withdrew from crowds.

Luke 5:16 (NKJV)

“So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.”

If the Son of God valued moments of withdrawal, no servant of God should believe they are above the need for restoration.

FINAL EXHORTATION

The Master still needs the horse.

The message still needs to be delivered.

The city still needs to hear.

The nations still need the Gospel.

Therefore:

Strengthen the vessel.

Care for the carrier.

Preserve the instrument.

Because a healthy vessel can carry a greater measure of God's purpose.

May we not arrive at the end of our assignment with a message that was powerful but a vessel that was unnecessarily broken.

May we finish strong.

2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV)

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

APOSTOLIC PRAYER

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for every servant carrying Your message.

Strengthen their spirits.

Renew their minds.

Restore their bodies.

Give them wisdom to balance sacrifice with stewardship.

Heal every minister who has been carrying invisible burdens.

Teach Your servants to care for the vessels You have entrusted to them.

May they not only start well, but finish well.

May they fulfil their assignment with strength, health, joy, and longevity.

In Jesus' mighty name.

Amen.

Apostolic Letters With Chris K.

SUBJECT: THE MYSTERY OF SEEDS

Grace, mercy, and peace be multiplied unto every servant of God and every believer in Christ Jesus.

To every pastor, priest, evangelist, teacher, missionary, and believer carrying the light of Christ:

I write to remind us of a powerful Kingdom truth:

Nothing done for God in faith is ever wasted.

The Kingdom of God operates by the mystery of seeds.

Jesus said:

Mark 4:26-27 (KJV)
“And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.”

A farmer plants a seed, but he does not control the hidden process of growth.

Likewise, every prayer, every sermon, every act of love, every word of encouragement, and every sacrifice made for God's Kingdom is a seed.

We may not always see the harvest immediately, but God sees the seed.

1 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV)
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”

Our assignment is faithfulness.

God's assignment is the harvest.

THE SEED MAY BE HIDDEN, BUT IT IS NOT DEAD

Never judge God's work only by what your eyes can see.

A person may not respond today, but a seed of truth may remain in their heart until God's appointed time.

The Bible says:

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

God's Word carries the power to fulfil its assignment.

DO NOT DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS

The Kingdom often begins with small seeds.

A prayer.

A conversation.

A kind gesture.

A message shared.

A life lived for Christ.

Jesus said:

Matthew 13:31-32 (KJV)
“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed...”

The size of the seed does not determine the greatness of the harvest.

WHEN HEAVEN IS SILENT, GOD IS STILL WORKING

The book of Revelation reveals:

Revelation 8:1 (KJV)
“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”

Silence did not mean inactivity.

Before God revealed the next move, heaven paused.

In the same way, a season of waiting does not mean God has forgotten you.

The seed may be underground, but the seed is alive.

A WORD TO EVERY SERVANT AND BELIEVER

To the pastor who has preached faithfully:

Keep planting.

To the parent praying for a child:

Keep planting.

To the believer serving quietly in singing, praying, giving gifts, sharing scriptures, posting words of encouragement and wisdom:

Keep planting.

To the evangelist reaching souls:

Keep planting.

God remembers every seed.

Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

APOSTOLIC PRAYER

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, strengthen every servant and believer who feels discouraged because they cannot yet see the fruit of their labour.

Awaken every seed of Your Word planted in hearts.

Let forgotten prayers produce testimonies.

Let hidden seeds bring forth salvation, transformation, and Kingdom impact.

Give Your Church grace to remain faithful until the harvest appears.

May our lives become seeds that produce eternal fruit.

In Jesus' mighty name.

Amen.

Grace and peace to the Body of Christ.

TENET 4: TEN TENETS OF ETERNAL SALVATION
By Chris K. Oshundun

TENET 4: THE SAME GRACE THAT SAVES ALSO TRAINS US FOR GODLY LIVING

Anchor Scripture:
📖 “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us…” — Titus 2:11–12

🔁 Two Real-Life Analogies:
1️⃣ School Admission & Learning
You’re admitted into a school by grace, but once in, you are taught daily.
👉 Grace saves, then educates your soul.

2️⃣ Adoption & Training
A rescued orphan is adopted freely. But the parents then raise him with love and discipline.
👉 Salvation brings you in; grace grows you up.

📜 Supporting Scriptures:
Hebrews 12:6 – “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth…”

2 Timothy 3:16–17 – “…All scripture is profitable… that the man of God may be perfect…”

Ephesians 4:22–24 – “Put off… the old man… be renewed… and put on the new man…”

Colossians 1:10 – “…increasing in the knowledge of God…”

Romans 12:2 – “…be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

🧠 Explanation:
Grace does more than save you — it shapes you. A grace that doesn’t teach, isn’t the grace of God.

What exactly is the bone of contention as regarding ETERNAL SALVATION? What's your Question?

06/17/2026

ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS TO VALUE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR WIFE!

By Chris K. Oshundun

Introduction

Childbirth is one of the most physically demanding and emotionally intense experiences in human biology. Despite this, many men lack firsthand understanding of the severity of labour pain and the physiological strain it places on women. Labour pain simulation experiments, which allow men to experience controlled approximations of contractions using electrical muscle stimulation, have become a powerful educational tool to bridge this empathy gap.

The Experiment: Labour Pain Simulation

In a typical labour pain simulation exercise, electrodes are placed on the abdominal muscles of male participants. These electrodes deliver controlled electrical impulses that mimic the rhythmic intensity of uterine contractions during labour. The intensity is gradually increased to simulate early labour, active labour, and peak contraction phases.

Most participants report:

Severe abdominal cramping and muscular tightening

Loss of voluntary control over core muscles during peak intensity

Heightened anxiety and distress as intensity increases

Inability to maintain normal speech or movement during peak “contractions”

While the simulation does not perfectly replicate childbirth—since it excludes hormonal, cervical, and psychological dimensions—it provides a tangible approximation of the physical intensity involved.

Observed Reactions and Insights

Across multiple demonstrations and informal studies, a consistent pattern emerges: many men significantly underestimate labour pain prior to the simulation and overestimate their own tolerance. After experiencing the procedure, most participants express shock, discomfort, and a newfound respect for what women endure during childbirth.

Common reflections include:

“I didn’t realize it could be this intense.”

“I now understand why support is critical during labour.”

“I feel guilty for not appreciating what my partner went through.”

Implications for Male Responsibility in Maternal Care

The key outcome of these simulations is not merely awareness of pain, but a shift in perspective regarding responsibility and care within relationships and families.

From a psychosocial standpoint, childbirth is not only a medical event but also a relational experience requiring emotional safety, support, and dignity. When men gain even partial experiential insight into labour pain, it often reinforces three critical responsibilities:

1. Emotional Support Women benefit significantly from calm, present, and reassuring partners during pregnancy and labour. Emotional neglect can increase stress responses and negatively affect the birth experience.

2. Practical Care and Presence Attendance at antenatal visits, financial preparation, and physical presence during labour are not optional luxuries—they are essential components of responsible fatherhood and partnership.

3. Postpartum Responsibility Care does not end at delivery. Recovery from childbirth involves physical healing, hormonal changes, and psychological adjustment, requiring sustained support.

Ethical and Social Interpretation

While labour pain simulation is not a substitute for lived female experience, it functions as an educational intervention that exposes empathy deficits in many men. It highlights a broader societal issue: the normalization of minimizing women’s pain, particularly in reproductive health contexts.

The experiment underscores an important principle: empathy is not only emotional but also experiential, and when appropriately facilitated, it can transform attitudes toward caregiving and partnership.

Conclusion

Labour pain simulation experiments reveal a crucial gap in understanding between men and women regarding childbirth. Although artificial and limited in scope, they effectively demonstrate the intensity of labour and the need for increased male empathy, responsibility, and active care.

Ultimately, the lesson extends beyond childbirth: true partnership in marriage and family life requires awareness, presence, and a consistent commitment to shared wellbeing—especially when one partner bears the biological burden of reproduction.
