PART 1 I Raising Children On Spiritual Principles
Praise the Lord Jesus!
I would like to share with you this lesson,
especially for parents and prospective parents as it teaches us how parents so
that we can raise our children in the best spiritual way.
Very welcome ...."Behold, children are a
heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." (Psalm 17:
3)
"" Train up a child in the way he should
go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it "(Proverbs 22: 6).
Many family disputes over child-rearing issues can
be resolved if the parents are involved they will use the Bible as the only
source of guidance on how to raise children. The Bible gives us a chance we can
raise our children. There are also many instructions that have been given to
children, as they can living with their parents or guardians.
God who is our Creator and the Creator of our
children, the God of all wisdom and understanding,
He knows the end of the matter even before it
begins, and he has given us clear direction on our responsibility in child
rearing. Ephesians 6: 4 is a passage I can say that contains the definition of the
basis of how we raise our children. It is written,
"And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to
wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
In this passage, God sets out His program and
philosophy on the upbringing of children. God warns us against the things we
should not do for our children, what to do, and what should be the strategy and
goal of upbringing us. If parents understand this passage well, the work of
raising children will be good as well as this way it will bring unity in the
family.
The scriptures show that fathers and mothers have a
similar responsibility in raising their children.
Exodus 20:12, Children are commanded to honor and
obey their father and mother. Before the eyes of God, mother he should be
respected as the father is honored.
Proverbs 1: 8, It makes it clear that the mother has
a role too.
"My son, hear the instruction of thy father,
and forsake not the law of thy mother: Similarly Proverbs 6:20, it speaks of
this.
1Timothy 5:10, Paul instructs about extra care for
widows who were good wives and who were able to raise children well.
After looking at these passages, which emphasize the
importance of fathers and mothers in the upbringing of children, the question
What comes to us is, "why does the Bible in
Ephesians 6: 4 speak so highly of fathers?"
Presumably, this is due to the fact that many
fathers have relinquished their responsibility to raise their children.
Many men have relinquished their responsibility to
raise children for mothers. Thus, in Ephesus, the Apostle
Paul wanted to remind men of their responsibility in
education.
Another reason may be found in the Bible's teaching
that the husband is the head of the household house. So as the head of or the
head of the house, the father is directly responsible in the formation of children.
The key to raising children, parents (fathers and
mothers) is to understand that they are one team one goal. The responsibility
and work ahead of you is great and you need sincere cooperation to achieve the
best results in the upbringing of children. The father cannot do this work
alone, nor can the mother.
The Bible instructs parents to raise their children
properly. This is the responsibility of every parent and verbally otherwise,
this is a command. Children cannot raise their own children, but they do need
someone to guide them. In Proverbs 22:15, the Bible says, "Foolishness is
bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far
from him."
This article outlines the parent's role in guiding
the child. Even when a parent punishes a stick for the child, his goal should
be to get him back on track and not otherwise.
We must be very careful when we warn or punish
children for the various mistakes they have made.
The Bible instructs us on how to deal with various
social and social problems all ages, (Proverbs 15: 1, Ephesians 4:31, Matthew
18:15, 1 Timothy 5: 1-2).
Despite these instructions, many people find
themselves using excessive force or using words heartbreaking when they warn or
punish children.
When a parent or guardian tells a child that,
"you are stupid, head water, nothing you can do, dog, loss etc. "
These statements have a profound effect on children
even into adulthood. There are many people who they cannot be confident in
their lives simply because they were told hurtful words when they were
children.
Remember that your words have the power to create.
When we read the Bible we learn that all things
visible and invisible are created by the Word of
God. God spoke and it all came to pass. What do you
create in your child's life? Learn utter words of blessing to your child or
children. Even when they make a mistake, be careful not uttering words to make
them feel inferior and unworthy.
We must live what we teach or preach to children,
(Philippians 4: 9, 1 Corinthians 11: 1, Matthew 23: 1-4,Deuteronomy 6: 4-9).
