Blessings of Caring for the Elderly

By Adeola Oluwakemi Malomo

Who is really an elder? The Elder is the one that is older than the oldest. The Elder is the one that is called Ancient of Days. The Elder is the one that has been before the word elder was known. The Elder has been before the world was formed. The Creator that no one created is the Elder that has an answer to it all.

As we listen to our elderly ones and yield to their godly counsel and advice, our time of training in the school of hard knocks is significantly reduced. But the fact is, there are some elders that you dont want to ever be in contact with throughout your life on earth. This is the reason you need to know who the elders you must care for are in order for you not to live a life without a guide.

When you take care of the elderly, it brings blessing to the generations coming after you. Your love and care releases a desire to bless and not curse. Elders represent and contribute a lot to society because they provide wisdom, guidance, and direction for the younger generation, having gone through the road of life. It is a scriptural principleplease read Genesis 27:129.

About the Author

FROM THE AUTHOR

This book was born from a burden that the Holy Spirit laid on my heart – the care of the elderly in the land. These are times when we no longer pay attention to the older ones amongst. Yet I believe that it the Lord’s desire that we actively care for older people, both in or out of the Church. They can be a source of great blessing to us through the wealth of their wisdom and knowledge.

I believe that experience is not always the best teacher because some experiences can be irreversibly damaging and scar us for life. It is better to avoid going through those kinds of experiences/mistakes and simply listen to the counsel and advice of those who can see farther than we can even when they are sitting and we are standing on mountain tops. As we listen to our elderly ones and yield to their godly counsel and advice, our time of training in the school of hard knocks is significantly reduced.

I sincerely pray that this booklet will be a blessing to you; to reveal to you/remind you of a dimension of the heart, purpose and will of God that we do not often think about, especially in this day and age when most of us have become too preoccupied with our personal businesses and can hardly spare the time for others.

PRAYER FROM AN ELDERLY PERSON WHO IS WELL CARED FOR BRINGS HEALING TO THE LAND

Taking care of the elderly is a wonderful thing to do. The elders in the society represent so much in the society because they provide wisdom, guidance and direction for the younger generation, having gone through the road of life. These are the roads some of us are just passing through. In the following few pages, I share some of the truths that the Holy Spirit has released into my life as the benefits of caring for the elderly. Caring for the elderly enhances spiritual growth.

Elderly is age. Age is in the mind. Age
