FIRE SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 5:1-9 (KJV)
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we established the truth that parenting is powerful because it shapes the mind. attitude and actions of our children for either good or bad. Children learn their behaviour by watching and imitating the people they see the most, usually parents and especially during their formative years.

As a parent, how can you set the right examples for your children? The first step you need to take is to make the Bible your manual for parenting. It is the instructional manual provided by God, the original parent. The Bible says, “Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children.” You can imitate and follow God by doing the following:
(1) Live a life of love. Remember love is the antidote of fear.
(2) Always look to Christ as your example.
(3) Imitate the nature, character and behaviour of God the Father.
(4) Obey and follow Him in word and deed.
(5) Provide your children with a reliable model on which to pattern their lives.
No one becomes an effective parent by accident. Effective parenting must be planned, focused and have an expected end in mind. Good parents do not leave their job to another person; they are responsible stewards and accountable individuals with a determination to please God.
Also, godly parents ensure that they do not repeat the mistakes their own parents made in parenting. In other words, they pattern their parenting after the word of God and avoid the parenting mistakes of others. Beloved parent, no matter how hard you try, without the help of the Holy Spirit in parenting, your desire to nurture your children well will be poor. You must model them with the love and behaviour of God.
As you resolve to become a good example to your children, the power of the Holy Spirit will enable you to do so, in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
My children, you shall live to fulfil your divine agenda, in the name of Jesus.
Powers assigned to limit the potential of my children, die, in the name of Jesus.
Destiny terminators shall not succeed over my children, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
I destroy all the decisions and plans of the enemy against my children, in the Jesus name.
Every evil effect of my decisions on my children, I nullify you, in the name of Jesus.
O Lord, help me to train my children in Your way and fear, in the name of Jesus.
Witchcraft plantation against the destinies and stars of my children, be rooted out by fire, in the name of Jesus.
