TEXT: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22 :6
Rhema for Living 10th April 2022 Devotional MESSAGE
One of the reasons for so much evil and atrocities committed by teenagers and youths today is due to their poor upbringing. So many parents have failed in their responsibilities of training up their child n in the way they should go. Some say “a child that will be bad will be bad however the training given to him.” But that is not true because there is no child destined by God to be evil. No! The enemy corrupted that child tampering with his star even from the womb.
You can imagine how the wise men saw the star of Jesus in the east and traced it to where he was born.
So it is your responsibility as a parent to correct any error on your child in the place prayer and also by sowing godly seeds you desire in him, both through words and practical examples, with the consciousness that children, learn more from what they see you do, than what you say. How can a child of a believer go outside God’s means to acquire riches and properties and you as the patent do not brother to ask questions?
Rather you deliberately ignored that aspect, rather, you are rejoicing that he is now prosperous. In fact, for him to have gone that far, you failed on your responsibility of moulding him from childhood. When he came home from school with items you did not buy, you never bothered to ask. Your teenage daughter who is not working brought home money and you willingly collected it thanking and encouraging her to get more without bothering to know who gave her the money.
Parenthood is responsibility. Every parent should wake up! Husband and wife should join forces together to bring up the leaders of tomorrow. We cannot fold our hands and allow the enemy corrupt our seeds. No! We have to wake up and stop that devil by training up our children in the way they should go.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, I awake to my responsibility as a parent.
