The following is a list of May 2020 Holidays together also includes activities that you can engage on each of the May Holidays.

May 2 Baby Day Activities 

May 2 is Baby Day.

It is therefore a great day to fight for your children using Bible verses and save them from destruction.

How To Fight for Your Children with Bible Verses 3rd Edition Book Excerpt

Regardless of whether your children’s well being is threatened by diseases or deviant lifestyles or bullies or gangs or addictions, you have to combine spiritual, physical and mental interventions to form your own holistic deliverance ministry to fight for your children and deliver them from destruction.

Praying

The first spiritual intervention is to pray for your children yourself.

We can see that the Woman from Canaan approached Jesus because of her daughter because it is written that A woman from Canaan cried out to Jesus saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David because my daughter is severely demon possessed.” (Matthew 15:21-22)

She therefore teaches us that we should pray and intercede for our children especially if they cannot or will not pray for themselves. This inability to pray can be due to the fact that they are possessed by demons or they have walked away from the Church or they are trapped by addictions or they have mental illnesses or they are unconscious in an ICU or any other reason.

Therefore as a parent heed the Bible for it tells us that we should Boldly approach the throne of grace so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

Learn also from Job because he offered sacrifices to God on behalf of his children for His seven sons would hold feasts and invite their three sisters. After their days of feasting were over, Job would rise up early in the morning and offer burnt offerings. For he said, “It may be that my children sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Job did this continually. (Job 1:4-5)  

Therefore, regardless of the age of your children or the challenges they are facing, ensure that you first seek God’s advice and assistance by praying for them.

As you pray, use Scriptures since The sword of the spirit is the word of God (Ephesians 6:17) that God has given us to fight with. We will therefore call the Bible verses that we will use to battle SWORD WORDS.

SWORD WORDS that you can use to pray for your children include:

Father God I ask You in the name of Jesus to help my children grow and become strong in the spirit and filled with wisdom and may Your grace O God be upon them. (Reference Luke 2:40)

Father God I ask You in the name of Jesus to help my children increase in wisdom and in stature and in favor with You O God and with people. (Reference Luke 2:52)

Father God I ask You in the name of Jesus to give me increase more and more, me and my children. (Reference Psalm 115:14)

As you pray, learn from the Woman from Canaan because when she first called on Jesus, Jesus did not answer her. (Matthew 15:23)  However, she did not quit and go back home. She continued to hang around and stay in His presence.

Later when Jesus spoke to her, He said, “I was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24) However this statement which disqualified her from receiving healing for her daughter because she was not an Israelite did not also discourage her because she Came and worshiped Him. (Matthew 15:24)

Later, Jesus also said to her, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” (Matthew 15:26) However, she was not discouraged because of being equated to a little dog for she responded and said, “Yes, Lord even the little dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table. (Matthew 15:27)   

Therefore emulate this Woman from Canaan by not giving up on your prayers or on God if at first you do not get the answer you are asking for. Decide to persist in prayer as you Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

May 10 Mother's Day Activities

May 10 is Mother’s Day.

It is therefore a great day to read the Bible Mother’s Day Devotional which is excerpted below.

Hannah

Mother's Day Bible Verse

I prayed for this child and the Lord granted me the request which I asked of Him.
1 Samuel 1:27

Bible Lesson

Hannah was very stressed because her co-wife Peninnah who had sons and daughters used to Provoke her severely to make her miserable because she did not have children. (1 Samuel 1:6)

She was so distressed that she wept and did not eat. Even when she was praying in the Temple, Eli the Priest thought she was drunk because She was in bitterness of soul … and wept in anguish. (1 Samuel 1:10)

Hannah then struck a deal with God and promised that if He gave her a son, she would give him back to Him. God gave her a baby boy and she took him to the Temple to serve God for his entire life.

Hannah therefore teaches us that if we have a very distressing problem, we can promise God something if He solves our problem for us.

Hannah also teaches us that once God solves our problem, we have to keep the end of our bargain like she did when she took Samuel to the Temple.

Therefore consider promising God something if you have a big problem but as you do so Do not be rash with your mouth and do not let your mouth utter anything hastily before God because God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. (Ecclesiastes 5:2)

Prayer

Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to grant me (state what you want God to do for you) and I will (state what you will do for God). 

Bible Meditation

Do not be rash with your mouth and do not let your mouth utter anything hastily before God for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. (Ecclesiastes 5:2)

Rebecca

Mother's Day Bible Verse

If all is well with me, why am I like this?
Genesis 25:21

Bible Lesson

Rebecca teaches us that we have to consult God when something is not right with our children.

Therefore, if you notice something weird about your children, regardless of whether they are your unborn children or your adult children, inquire of the Lord to find out what they are like that.

Inquiring of God is very important because He can give you the spiritual insight into your problem which will help you cope better with the physical effects of the problem and help you seek the best solution for the problem which can include consulting the best counselor or doctor.

Note that consulting a doctor or any human specialist is also important but this should complement consulting God because human specialists can prescribe treatment that will treat the problem but God can direct you to the right human specialists or He can cure the entire problem from its root.

Therefore first consult God whenever you notice a problem with your children because He tells us, “Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

Prayer

Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to help me remember that I should consult you first whenever I notice a problem with my children.

The Shunammite Woman

Mother's Day Bible Verse

It is well.
2 Kings 4:23

Mother's Day Bible Lesson

The Shunammite woman who was the mother of a young boy teaches us not to speak negative words over negative situations if we want to change them. This is because after her son died, her husband inquired why she was going to see Elisha and she said, "It is well." (2 Kings 4:23)

When Elisha saw her approaching, he sent his servant to inquire about her and she replied, "It is well." (2 Kings 4:26)

When she finally met with Elisha, she told him she wouldn’t leave him and he followed her home and brought her son back to life.

Therefore if something negative happens to you or your children, do not speak negative words if you do not want the negative situation to become entrenched because Death and life are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)

If you must speak about the situation make a positive confession like "It is well" (2 Kings 4:23) because you are believing God will make it well because Faith is the substance of things hoped for. (Hebrews 11:1) 

This mother therefore teaches us that we should not speak negative words about negative situations that we do not want to be entrenched in our lives. She shows us that we should continue making positive confessions about our situation until we get to the presence of God or meet with His servant.

So continue having faith by believing that what you are hoping for is what will happen since Faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1) and speak out this faith whenever you are asked about the situation that you are believing God to help you with.

One way of doing this is by confessing that "It is well" (2 Kings 4:26) even though your situation is not yet well because you are believing that God will make it well.


Prayer

Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to help me to chose my words carefully because my words have power.

May 12 Fatigue Syndrome Day Activities

May 12 is Fatigue Syndrome Day. 

It is therefore a great time to treat spiritual chronic fatigue syndrome by doing the following:

1. Pray and ask God to help you overcome the attack by saying a prayer like - "Heavenly Father I ask You in the name of Jesus to help me overcome this energy draining fatiguing attack".

2. Meditate on energizing Bible verses like God gives power to the weak and to those who have no might, He increases their strength. (Isaiah 40:29)

3. Praise God because we have been given the garment of praise to replace the spirit of heaviness. (Isaiah 61:3)

May 12 Fatigue Syndrome Day is also a great day to engage in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome activities like the following:

1. Using aromatherapy essential oils to treat the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome

Aromatherapy recipe for physical fatigue treatment

Eucalyptus essential oil 10 drops

Lemon essential oil 10 drops

Rosemary essential oil 15 drops

Mix these essential oils in a small dark bottle.

Add 12 drops of this essential oil mixture to a cup (250ml or 8oz) of sweet almond oil to create a body massage oil.

Apply this mixture on your body to relieve physical exhaustion. 

2. Using cognitive restructuring

Cognitive restructuring is changing the wrong thoughts (cognitive distortions) that contribute to feeling fatigued.These wrong thoughts can include shoulds and should nots.  

This wrong thinking pattern or using shoulds and should nots on themselves causes a person to hold themselves to a set of strict rules of what they must and must not do. Failure to keep those strict rules results in feeling guilty and frustrated.

For example, they can think, "I should walk for 30 minutes every day."

If they don't they will feel bad or even guilty and frustrated.

To get out of this rut, the person can challenge themselves by asking: Am I holding myself to a set of strict rules of what I must and must not do?

If they are they can change their shoulds into positive rational thoughts like "I could walk every day."

2. Get saved because Jesus says, Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take up My yoke and learn from Me for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:28-30)

To get saved say with your mouth that “Jesus is Lord” and believe with your heart that when Jesus died for our sins, God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

3. Take up Jesus yoke by following the instructions for living that are in the Bible because then you will find a peaceful rest for your mind and soul because Great peace have those who love Your law. (Psalm 119:165)

May 20 Be A Millionaire Day Activities

May 20 is Be A Millionaire Day. 

It is therefore a great day to read Becoming a Millionaire God’s Way, Getting Money to You, Not from You by Dr. C. Thomas Anderson.

This book by @drtompics taught me to think differently about wealth and the wealth creating process. It reminded me that I have to take action and do something here on earth that God can bless from heaven. Becoming a Millionaire also reminded me that I have to work smart for my money and be smart by making my money work for me.

This Christian money management book also helped me understand the process of multiplication and taught me not to be afraid of starting small. It reiterated the importance of developing self-control and the tenacity of a bulldog as I focus on becoming a millionaire God’s way.
