Raising Godly Children.

---

Raising a Godly generation in the midst of a godless society is a challenging task. While the responsibility of nurturing godly children falls primarily on parents, it is not confined to them only but to the entire believers’ community. I am aware of the fact that many don't allow other to advice or discipline their children as they only know how to train their children.

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

---

Allow your children to learn from other but be very careful what they learnt either good or bad, be responsible enough to ask what they learnt from others and correct them as swiftly as possible if lesson learnt is not satisfactory or bad.

---

However, notice the sequence according to (Deuteronomy 6:6-9), God’s commandments must be central in the lives of father and mothers first before they can teach to the children. Children learn faster your behavior more than what you say. Be careful what you do as you will find your children doing same thing in no distance time.

Good and Godly Children

Too often, a father is not anytime interested if the children like sports and other technicalities. His principal concern is that the children get good college degrees and high paying job. Mother on the other hand, are concerned about things like clothes, fashion, beauty, cooking, etc.

---

Such things are good but are potentially harmful without the knowledge and fear of God. In (Proverbs 4:1-7), Solomon should have some insight into what his father, David taught him when he was young. Above all, he instructed him to seek wisdom and understanding. No wonder Solomon only asked for divine wisdom (2 Chronicles 1:6-12) hence, Christian parents should lay more emphasis on godly living than achieving good success in human endeavours. It is godliness with contentment that gives great gain. (1Timothy 6:6).

Examples Of Godly Children Raised In The Bible.

• Samuel grew in the knowledge and fear of God (1 Samuel 2:26, 3:1, 19).

• Daniel and the three Hebrew bays upheld the godly training they had received and refused to compromise with others even in a strange hand. (Daniel 1:48, 3:16-18, 6;3-10).

• Sons of Rachab kept the instructions of the father for generations even when persuaded to do contrary by a reputable prophet of God (Jeremiah 35:1-6) 2 Corinthians 11:3-4, Galatians 1:8)

• Timothy was blessed to have a godly Grandmother who taught him the scriptures as a child 2 Timothy 1:5, 3:15).

• Josiah walked in the ways of his Father, David, and did not deviate ( Chronicles 34:1-3).

Conclusion

We should remember that a godly child has more Godly wisdom and understanding than a virtuous wordly child or well-trained worldly. child. A Godly Child has those qualifies, but he also has a great affection for God. His word and his ways. May God help us to train our child the way God want.
