Text: Proverbs 22:1-6
Memory Verse: Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).
When Abraham and Isaac got to the mountain, he took his son and tied him up. And the son was relaxed. What a son well taught by his father! Parents teach your children. Proverbs 22:6 says train up a child in the way he should go and when he grows, he will not depart from it.
Sit down with your children and let them know why you do the things you do. Do not just preach to them by your words, let them see you do those things too. Actions speak louder than words and children learn faster by what they see than what they hear. As a parent, make use of the family altar, pray together concerning family needs, and when God answers, share the testimony at the family altar. Tell that child what God did for you. Tell him how you had nothing and God raised you.
Let him see where you were and where you are now. No child will hear your true testimony and not want to serve your God. As a father, seeing some of our children engaged during the church services, handling the equipment,
rejuvenates me. Your children will make you proud, if you will train them up in the way of the Lord. They will not be vagabonds. Your dreams and desires concerning them will be accomplished. They will occupy cities, nations and territories.
Prayer Points:
1. Lord, please keep our children from the evil influence of the world.
2. Lord, I pray my children get better spiritually, physically, mentally, morally and in all their endeavours.
