4. USE GOD'S WORD TO EFFECT THE TRAINING OF YOUR CHILDREN

By -



All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Tim. 3:16

God is very much interested in the upbringing of our children that's why He gave us His word. We should use God's word to teach, to reproof, to correct and to instruct our children in righteousness.
This means, when you want to correct any bad character in your kids, look for relevant scriptures and use that to correct that child
If you want to teach any virtue for your kids like humility, generosity, prayerfulness etc., use relevant scripture to teach that child such virtue
If you want to rebuke a child for a misbehavior, use relevant scripture to rebuke the child; show the child the consequences of such evil behavior both in this world and in the world to come.

Unfortunately, many parents chooses to use their own understanding to train this children, that's why they abuse them with words and with canes etc. 

The word of God is the tool of the Holy Spirit, once you use the word of God to instruct, teach, reproof, and correct your child, the Holy spirit would take it up from there and effect the word of God on them. Therefore, whether you are there or not to reiterate the word, the Holy Spirit would keep impressing it on them until they are totally transformed in righteousness.

Don't be tempted to use your wisdom to effect the training of your children; always use God's word to the train your child.

This means as parents, we ought to know the word of God ourselves so as to know how to effect it in the lives of our children.

When we use God's word on our children, we'll raise a generation of worded men; men empowered by God's word to live above sin and all the powers of darkness.

PRAYER:
1. May I not rely in my understanding in the training of my children
2. May I trust in your word and use it effectively in raising righteous children
3. May the Holy Spirit inspire me to use God's word more effectively in the training of my children
All these I ask in Jesus name.

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
