STEP moms, why do some of you feel the need to mistreat your step children?

Do you see them as witches or your enemy next door?

Who created that child, and who created your children?

Stop letting rivalry blind your eyes. Yes, that child has the label of her mother, your rival, BUT that child is God’s Child; she is in the IMAGE and LIKENESS of God.

Know this, how you treat her is how you are treating God.

Remember what Jesus told the people? He said, “For I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.” They answered, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry…’ and Jesus told them, ‘TRULY I tell you, WHATEVER YOU DID NOT DO FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU DID NOT DO FOR ME.’ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” [Matthew 25:42-46 NIV]

Christian step mother, in the first place, did you know that God hates divorce? Also, do you want to add to your ‘sins’ by practising wickedness? Remember, the institution of marriage is God’s, and the children thereof are a blessing from GOD.  So you need to be careful how you handle these two; Marriage and Children, because they are God’s, not yours nor your husband’s.

Why do you go into a marriage, see a child (a product of marriage), and decide in your heart to mistreat this child? Why? Just because she is not yours? I told you, even though she is not yours, she is God’s, so be careful. Your children are God’s too. God sees your children and your rival’s children as equal because He doesn’t practise favouritism.

Don’t ever think that your mistreatment of this child will cause God to hate her too. No! That will NEVER happen. As a matter of fact, your bad deeds against this child may cause God to compensate her by punishing you gravely. You don’t want that.

Even if an angel of the LORD comes to tell you that your step child will be greater than your own children, that shouldn’t even hurt you or be a problem for you. You know why? Because, as long as you are her step mom, you shall have a share in that greatness by shear fact that you mothered her too.

Don’t allow hate, and jealousy enter your heart. If you allow it, it will lead you away from God’s presence (heaven), into the devil’s abode (hell).

You are a child of God Ma’am.

You the light of the World. Wherever you go, be it in your Marriage or at your workplace, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!

Quench the fire of hatred and jealousy.

Treating your children better than this step child will only cripple your own children’s BRIGHT future, and strengthen that of the step child. #what doesn’t kill you makes you STRONGER.

Remember what Haman plotted against Mordecai. His own evil plans became his point of death. Remember David, Jephthah, Solomon, etc, all these people were “step children”, and as expected, they were mistreated. But God in his Mercy and Kindness ELEVATED these folks and they became KING David, KING Solomon, and GREAT Jephthah.  Their own half siblings became their “servants”.

Be careful Mommy. Don’t dig a grave for your children where you will NOT be alive or strong enough to pull them out of.

“LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF!” Jesus instructed. If you LOVE GOD, then obey His commandments including the above commandment. [John 14:15]

Don’t become an evil being just because you are now a Step Mother.

Don’t step on that child Mother!

Rather, level up a Step higher in your motherhood.

GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU MOMMY.
