Train them with the Word.
Laws, Modernization and Globalization have caused some parents to abandon their responsibilities. What an error!
It’s the responsibility of the parents to train up their kids in the way of the LORD. That’s what the Word says: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).”
Some parents would say, “We try not to impose anything on our children; we just let them make their decisions themselves.” What an error! The Bible says, “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him (Proverbs 22:15).”
Children aren’t allowed to make their own decisions; they need to be trained and guided. Parents have a responsibility to know through the Spirit of GOD, what their children should be, and raise them in that direction.
Some parents act as though GOD said, “Leave the children to me, and I’ll determine how they’ll grow up”; HE didn’t say that. Rather, HE said parents should train up the child in the way he should go. If you already have children, let the HOLY SPIRIT guide you in bringing them up in righteousness. Keep training them in the Word. Even when it looks as though they’re not imbibing the culture of the Word, keep at it, and don’t despair.
Give some time; the results of the training will be evident. Soon enough, they’ll come into the right place, and be all that GOD destined for them to be.
Glory to GOD for ever and ever.
Thank You LORD for Thy Word in JESUS NAME.
Dear Holy Father, I thank you, for your Word has in it, the ability to make me what it talks about, and produce in me, and in those you’ve placed in my care, and unalloyed commitment to you. We’re yielded to the Lordship of JESUS CHRIST, and to the guidance, and tutelage of the Spirit, in JESUS’ NAME.
