Taking Charge of Your Children: A Biblical Perspective
As a parent, taking charge of your children is one of the most important responsibilities you'll ever have. It's a role that requires patience, love, and guidance. In the Bible, we find many references to parenting and the importance of raising children in the ways of the Lord.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

This verse emphasizes the importance of teaching children the ways of God and guiding them on the right path. As parents, it's our responsibility to model Christian values and principles for our children, and to teach them how to apply these principles in their daily lives.

Discipline is an essential part of parenting. It's not about being harsh or punitive, but about guiding our children towards making good choices and developing self-control.

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4)

As parents, we need to balance discipline with love and guidance. We need to set clear boundaries and expectations, while also providing our children with the support and encouragement they need to grow and thrive.

Children learn by example, so it's essential that we model good behavior for them. This includes demonstrating honesty, integrity, and respect for others.

"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." (Philippians 4:8)

By modeling good behavior and teaching our children the importance of living a virtuous life, we can help them develop strong character and a solid foundation for success.

Spending quality time with our children is crucial for building strong relationships and creating lasting memories.

"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him." (Psalm 127:3)

By prioritizing time with our children, we can show them that they are loved and valued. We can also use this time to teach them important life lessons and values.

Taking charge of your children is a significant responsibility, but it's also an incredible opportunity to shape the next generation. By following biblical principles and modeling good behavior, we can help our children grow into confident, compassionate, and courageous individuals who make a positive impact in the world.

The Consequences of Disobedience and the Power of Repentance

The Consequences of Disobedience and the Power of Repentance In 1 Samuel 15:30-31, we see the consequences of disobedience and the importance of repentance. King Saul, despite being instructed by God to completely destroy the Amalekites and their livestock, chose to disobey and spare the best of the sheep and oxen. This act of disobedience led to God rejecting Saul as king over Israel. Saul's mistake was not in failing to obey God completely, but in obeying partially. He obeyed God's instructions to attack the Amalekites, but he failed to obey the instruction to completely destroy them and their livestock. This partial obedience is a danger that we as Christians must be aware of. We must not pick and choose which instructions to obey, but rather obey God's instructions fully and completely. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:48, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." We are called to strive for perfection in our obedience to God, just as ...

YES I FOUND IT!!! THE REASON WHY WE APPEAR WEAK AND POWERLESS DESPITE OUR PRAYERS PART1 The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” ‭‭James‬ ‭5:16‬b ‭AMPC‬‬ From the above scripture we see that the technology that makes power available to a believer is prayer, I give praise to God that some of us including myself in our generation have pioneered a prayer movement among the young people from our denominations and across the body of Christ, from 12 hours prayers to 48 hours to 72 hours to several days of shut down. My generation is not alien to all these, so the issue here is not whether we pray or not but why are we powerless with our prayers. I have read about the prayer life of Jesus and the results that followed, same with Elijah , Apostle Paul, well we might say those are Bible guys what about men like Charlse G Finey, D.L Moody, John Knox, Ayo Babalola, Daddy Adeboye and the host of others. We read and h...
