The Christian Life with Colline: Don’t Prevent or Stop Your Children from Baptizing and Serving Almighty God (Part 3)
By: Colline Goulbourne, Evangelizing Servant of God
In this season, God is raising up His little ones for His glory. He is doing a new thing — using children as vessels of His supernatural power. Through their obedience, He will reveal Himself to unbelievers and demonstrate that He is the living God who makes the impossible possible.
Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) reminds us of this truth:
“Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
God is choosing children to be His instruments so that even adults — hardened by sin or distracted by the world — will see His reality and repent, turning their hearts back to Him.
Children as Nation Builders
Parents, do you realize that within your home may live a nation builder? Yes — your child! Just as David was chosen as a boy to slay Goliath, just as Joseph was called from a pit to save nations from famine, just as Noah obeyed God to save his family and preserve humanity, and just as Samuel ministered in God’s presence from his youth — so too your children carry divine assignments.
1 Timothy 4:12 (NKJV):
“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
The enemy may want you to underestimate your children because of their age, but God sees them as mighty vessels, already carrying His anointing and purpose.
Releasing Them Into God’s Plan
Your responsibility as a parent is not to hinder, but to release them into God’s plan. Do not let fear, doubt, or cultural traditions hold them back from baptism and service. When your children choose to follow Christ, they are stepping into the assignments God prepared for them even before they were born.
Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV):
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Parents, allow God’s plan to manifest in your child’s life. Their obedience will not only shape their destiny but will also impact families, communities, and nations.
Children Saving Souls
God is raising children who will lead others to Him. Through their prayers, testimonies, and boldness, many will come to salvation. Their lives will serve as living sermons, proving that God’s Spirit is not limited by age.
Matthew 21:16 (NKJV):
“Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise.”
Your child could be the one God uses to save a neighbor, a relative, or even a generation. Do not silence them. Do not hinder them. Instead, nurture their faith and encourage their obedience.
Be Encouraged
God is doing a new thing in this season — and your children are part of it. They are not just the future; they are God’s instruments for today. Do not prevent them from walking in obedience to His call. Support them, guide them, and watch as God uses them to bring light into a dark and corrupted world.
Be encouraged, parents and guardians — for in your home may dwell the next David, Joseph, Noah, or Samuel, chosen by God to lead, to save, and to build His kingdom.
Be blessed!

Meditate on God’s Word
Many Christians struggle daily to live according to God’s word. But we need daily nourishment. That is why it is important to read your bible daily; even if it is a few verses and meditate on them.
