Annie Poonen - The Gift That Children Can Bring To Jesus
Summary
The central message is that the greatest gift a person, even a child, can bring to Jesus is a heart that loves Him and offers thankful praise. The speaker uses examples from the Bible (the gifts to Jesus, the loaves and fishes, the perfume) to illustrate that while intelligence, wealth, and strength are valuable, true devotion comes from the heart. This love is best demonstrated through daily acts of service, kindness, honesty, and humility at home, school, and in play.

The central message is that raising children for the Lord is a profound gift and responsibility, comparing it to being entrusted with a valuable treasure. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest reward is seeing a child grow to live for God, and this requires the parents to be radical, wholehearted disciples of Jesus. He concludes by noting that the parents' commitment, exemplified by figures like Moses, is crucial in guiding the child away from the world's temptations: the honor of the world, the pleasures of sin, and the wealth of the world.
