Memorise: 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.
Bible in one
year: Exodus 25-26, Psalms 119:1-16
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. Open Heaven Wednesday 7
December 2016:- Parents! Lead the way. 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
5:48says, 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. My joy as the General
Overseer of the RCCG is in seeing my spiritual children excel and achieve
greater heights than myself. I decree into the lives of everyone using this
devotional right now, 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. open heavens 7 December 2016
Wednesday daily devotional pastor adeboye parents! Lead the way
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.
Prayer Point
Father, please
don’t let me disappoint You over my children in Jesus’ name.
