TOPIC: LEADING YOUR CHILDREN TOCHRIST AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT: 2 Timothy 3: 14-15

Key verse: 2 John 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

Our children are a heritage from the Lord. The children God gave to us should be our first responsibility to bring to Christ's salvation. If we are born again, then we must make frantic effort to do this. It is our duty to help them grow in holiness and righteousness. Parents should learn how to bring their children to Christ early in life.

See the example Grandmother Lois, mother Eunice and Timothy himself (2 Tim. 1:5). It is easier and more effective to train children from infancy than struggling to bend them when they are grown up. Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child
in the way he should grow, when he is old he shall not depart from it”.

Therefore, children training should begin very early:

i. From ages 0-5, psychology tells us that this is the personality formative years.
Use these years to mould the child into godly character and other moral values.

ii. Science has also proved that six weeks old baby in the womb can hear. So, speak God into your child in the womb, prophesy.

iii. It is the parents' responsibility. Emulate Abraham who received God's commendation for this in Genesis 18:19.

iv. It is in keeping with God's commandment (Deuteronomy 6:1-9, 4:9-10).

v. Our Lord Jesus received complete parental training from childhood (Luke 2:40-52). Training must include: Spiritual (God's word) Luke 2:40; Physical (skills and human values in the society, Jesus was subject to his parents Luke
2:51); Physical and social development feed the children well, Jesus grew in
wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man Luke 2:52.

vi. Things parents should not do to their children:
• Don't leave the training of your children to house helps
• Don't leave the training of your children to after-school lesson teachers, so that you remain in office till late in the evenings
• Don't leave the training of your children to Daycare homes its destructive.
• Don't leave the training of your children to Boarding Schools it is the breeding ground for the nurturing of all kinds of evil
• Don't lose your children to your work (office, business, pastoral/ministry work).
Don't be too busy to take care of God's heritage in your care.

Thought for the day: If you don't train your children, Satan will. Children are yoursure pension scheme give personal attention to their training.

Song for the day: All that concerns me is touching God…

Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 21-22; John 3:1-21

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit.

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
