10 Qualities Of Good Parents by ipreach: 9:22pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
Just as school teachers must have the basic qualification in the subject they teach, the parent must be qualified to teach the children spiritual and moral lessons. The following are the basic qualifications a parent must have before they can successfully raise good and godly children. 1. you must Have encounter will Christ and be vast with scriptures Having Jesus in your life is the beginning and it is paramount in the way you are going to train your children 2. You must have a solemn behavior. Children learn more from what they see. Therefore, to train them well, you must have a solemn behavior. Your behavior matters a lot in child training. Children lives by what they see. They character you manifest to them Is the same life that they will live. 3. You must be reasonably in expectation. Children cannot sit quietly for long as adults do. Also, their memory span and patience in learning is much shorter compared to adults; hence, you must be reasonable in your expectations of them. 4. You must posses the ability to communicate the Gospel convincingly to your children. The ability to know how to teach your children will help you train them in the right and proper way. 5. You must be patient and tender. Children are weak and tender. Children are weak and fragile, and they tend to get discouraged over little things, so much that they may not want to have any things to do with the Lord. Therefore, be patient and tender in dealing with them. Patient with children cannot be neglected if you want to get a good result from training your children. 6. You must have a large heart. This means that you should love your children dearly. They should be able to lean on, trust and confide in you. 7. You must live in obedience to God’s Word, and make your children model your life. Your life must be a mirror to your children. Don’t teach your children the life you know that you are not living and what you know that is not good for their physical and spiritual growth. 8. You must be approachable. A fierce countenance and a harsh tone scare children away. Hence, be tender and approachable. A teacher who wants to get a result from his student must always wear a smiling face as a harsh face and tone will scare them away and make them not to get any result from the teaching. 9. You must be very prayerful. Spend time to pray for every one of your children regularly so that they will receive the grace to live righteous and holy lives. prayer is the main tool that you need to overcome and melt the hardest heart of any stubborn child. If you are not prayerful, then, the devil will take hold on your children and render all your effort useless. You must also teach your children how to pray and tell them the importance of prayer in their growth. 10. You must practice what you teach your children. In other words, teach by your example; be a role model to your children. Your children are watching the kind of live you are living; they are also watching the king of relationship you have with their mother/father. If you fail to live by the expectation they placed on you, then you are a failure as long as they are concern. Written by: iPreach believe all dot com 1 Like 1 Share |
