How Do You Raise Godly Children ? by Darevofpeace(m): 10:30pm On Feb 27, 2019
It is God's will for us to have abundance in fullness,God has no hands in the pains of his people,and it is never in His will for any of the parents to keep having nightmares about the kids that came out of there loins.
Children are God's heritage and as arrow's is in the hands of a mighty man,so are children in the hands of their parent's.In this century,when all family value's seems to have fallen out of order and children perform many evil vices.
Some parents have heart issues about uncontrolled behaviors of there children and they seems to wonder that how did we got it wrong ? they sometimes ask one another,didn't we give our kid's the basic necessities of life,what about the love we showed them ? did we over pampered them.
So many questions in the heart of the parent's and whose answers seems not to be forthcoming on time.Having children is easy compared to raising them up so that they can be a personality to be emulated in the society. I have listed out some basic things parent's can do in order to raise wonderful kid's.

(1)INVOLVE GOD AT THE BEGINNING
It will be a real difficult experience to have kids without involving God in there lives,what you do not want, you do not take.Life is full of complexities like a maze and if not involving God,one would keep having heart and mind troubles.
Right before you give birth to your kids In the womb,keep interceding on there behalf while praying for God's purposes to be established in there lives,prayer changes things and it put in order life Chao's,
Parents must be proactive in raising up kids and they must keep praying in advance for the manifestations of the glorious destiny of there children.After you have given birth to your kid's, still keep praying for them as regards there choices in life,education, careers, marriages etc.
Many aspect of there lives that you want God to be involved.There is no prayer that goes unanswered as long as it is genuine and has scriptural backing,prayer changes things at the long run.

(2)LIVE BY EXAMPLE
The formative age of kids according to the study in child psychology ranges between age 2- 6yrs.,this is the critical stage whereby parent's must get it right.
It is so pathetic when parent's complains about how there kids behave while they forgot about the positive impression they refused to inculcate at the early stages of of there lives,at birth all kid's came out with a 'plain' heart and mind,just like a newly purchased computer system, it has free and empty memory and it makes the operating system to work more faster.
When a computer memory seems fully occupied, it tends to slow it down compared to when it was newly bought.While a parent wants their kids to behave in a certain way and keep complaining about the certain behavior of what the kids are not doing, they have forgotten that children listen to what you say,but at the long run they do exactly what you do.
Some parents approach is "listen to what i say,but do not practice what i do",kids are wonderful creatures and they do pick up very fast the behavioural patterns of there parents, asides the genes they inherited from the parent's that do make them to have many of there traits without learning it,kids believes that the parent's are there first 'role model' even when they do not know the definition of such word.
Children spend large hours at home than any other places,they see everything there parents does and they would do the exact someday.Parents should live up to there responsibility and live a life worthy of emulation to there kids.

(3)WATCH THERE ASSOCIATIONS
"Show me your friends and I would tell you who you are" the latest 21st century version is "show me your friends and I would tell you where you are going on the pathway to destiny" .
Association is destination, parents must protect the interest of there kids among his/her pal's, in church, mosque,school and residence,as we approach the close of the age(world) many demonic activities shall be more pronounced and the devil would do everything to destroy all the family value's," to build a nation,you need to build a man,to build a man,you need to build the family"
I sat down upon my reflective analysis, I asked my self what can really change the world? I saw that it is not the nation's government, nor the religious body's, nor all the religious leaders,then I went back to the beginning of all beginnings.
I saw it is the family that is going to change the whole world,if the children didn't get it right as the future of our great nation's, we are in trouble as a whole and we are all sitting on a gun powder whose explosion is going to be fatal.
The behavioural patterns of the nation's youth would show where the country are going to.Parents must not allow negative influence from outside there homes to destroy the glorious destiny of there kid's, it's your child, do all to protect his/her interest.
