The Place Of Planning, Battling, Prayer, And Wisdom In Child Training
Text: Proverbs 6:4-11
Wednesday 8th January
Key Verse: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not and he shall be given him. James 1:5
The training of children involves prayer, praying to God for yourself to make you fit for the work. Pray for resources, effective materials, and good connections, in case you are not where the child is. Seek for the method or methods that you can use to succeed in this good work. It involves prayer and fasting, battling with forces of corruption that go about corrupting children. The right methods and the right persons all have to be employed in the business of child training. It is because if the child is not properly trained, she will behave badly. When your fingernails are not trimmed, we see dirt under them. You were too busy to cut them. You kept on forgetting. Your forgetfulness keeps on increasing the dirt inside your fingernails.
Your face is becoming bushy because you have not been able to shave. You did not have time. Your face is beginning to change such that we are finding it difficult to recognize you now. Beard has taken over your face. Why? This is because you are not shaving your beard. Likewise, with child training, if you fail to train your children, they will become weird and wild. Ask God for grace. Ask him to help you, and empower you to train them. Children that are well trained are a blessing to their parents and the world at large. Happy is a man that has a number of well-trained children. They are blessing! It was said of John Wesley’s mother that she had many children, nine of which survived to adulthood and she decided to train them all to become ministers of God. She worked on them all, Except one, probably that was not a minister of the gospel. She gave them good training. She gave them time. You can do so too. Have a goal in training your children.
Thought For The Day: With God in the place of prayer, your child can be trained in His will.
Song For The Day: He’s everything, Jesus is everything to me…
