PARENTS! LEAD THE WAY


Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6 Read: Psalms 127:3-5 (KJV) 3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the
fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so
are children of the youth. 5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
MESSAGE
Discipline in the family happens when parents lovingly correct and train their children in accordance with the Word of God, so that they may grow up in the way of the Lord. The type of relationship that exists between parents and their children determines whether the children will be disciplined or not. When a servant misbehaves, you may ignore his offence but when a son or daughter commits the same offence, they should
not get away with it. God. It is the goal of every reasonable parent to ensure that their children are better versions of themselves. On the other hand, some parents are extreme; they don’t discipline, but crush their
children. Being high-handed is applying discipline the other way round. Matthew 5:48 says, we should be as perfect as our Heavenly Father; God wants us to be as good as Himself. Jesus, the Prince of Peace wants us to be even better; hence, He says we will do greater works than He did. The joy of seeing youth and children excel and achieve greater heights than myself. I decree into the lives of everyone using this blogspot, you will excel in all that you lay your hands on and you will achieve greater heights than
myself in Jesus’ name. Meanwhile, children are naturally naughty, that is why Proverbs 22:15 says: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; But the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” Since Adam’s fall, this has been the trend. You do not need to teach a child to be angry before he or she manifests it, even at infancy. It is innate. So when a father wants his child to become like him, he would have to employ his rod of correction. How often do you correct your children? Proverbs 29:15 says any child left to
himself will bring shame to the parents and Proverbs 29:17 says the child that is disciplined will give joy and peace to the parents. Don’t over pamper your children. Don’t spoil them by using love as an excuse. Many ladies do not know how to cook or handle domestic chores because their parents left everything to the
house-help. You are undoing your children if you deny them good home training and discipline. You owe it to your children to discipline them. If you fail to give it to them, the result of their
indiscipline will haunt you here on earth and you

will have a case to answer in heaven.
Action Point:
Father, please don’t let me disappoint You over
my children in Jesus’ name.
