IMPACTFUL‬ PARENTS

I do not have a family of mine yet,but that won't stop me from being able to address some pertinent issues revolving around the axis of the family in which the parents are the active players.I'd be looking at the subject of discussion probably from two points of view.And will give attention to one than the other so as to drive home my point.

Obviously,the place of parents in the life of their children cannot be underrated.This is so true because the home is the primary background of every child.Parents are the number one teacher in a family set up.It then means that,'whatever you see from the part of their children,is a product of the handiwork of their parents' At this stage,two things are possible:It's either their children are good or bad.However,it's possible for a child brought up in an ideal home to turn bad as a result of some external factors.But that's not where am going...
Simply,the family is the foundation of the children.Though,we've some children whose parents do not brought up in the way of God and also not in the way of satan,but in a space of time,these children unearthed reasons for them to know more of God.So,they build their relationship with God with their hands when they see their parents not capable for reasons best known to them.

However,there's no pause without a cause.I made up my mind to finally write this article to save the unborn generation.
I've continuously hear a mother teaching her very young boy an ungodly/worldy slangs which to her is just to catch fun,not knowing that the brains of children are very sharp in taking in information.You can't just believe that,early in the morning you see this mother saying this,and the boy will continue with it.
But then,I've not seen this woman quoting a portion of the scripture and wait for the guy to complete it. Never!.The other day, I heard the boy singing,'personally...' and who're we to blame if not for the parents that do not take their primary assignment serious.This is where we ought to know that the headaches of the community and even the church starts from the family.Honestly,pastoral ministry'd be very easy,if every parent could help pastored their children.No wonder the church is full of untrained children which ultimately become a burden to the pastor in the church.If a child is brought up in a godly home,taught how to speak,how to dress,how to pray,how to respect et al we'd have a less number of abnormalities in our society today.

Yeah! You don't have a family yet,but you can always take a view of how you want your family to be and the types of children you wonna build.Is it the one that'd make exploit or the one that'd turn a nuisance to the community and the church of God?
You may be fervent with God,but once your fervency does not affect your children,it's a waste of time!

On this note,let's take a bible character to conclude this topic.Hear the word of Bro.Paul to Timothy in 2Tim 1:5, "I've been reminded of your sincere faith,which first lived in your groundmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and I'm persuaded,now lives in you also" Guess you can see how the faith was established in Timothy.Her parents can't be discarded in this matter,though his dad was not mentioned.
Let's take 2Tim 3:15 to sum it up,'and how from infancy you've known the holy scriptures,which are able to make you wise...'
It was from the infant stage that he had known God.

To all growing youths that'd one day have their family,take time to teach your children in a godly way and not in an ungodly manner.
