Focus: Train Up A Child

WORD FOR TODAY
Every parent has an important responsibility of presenting a model of a wonderful future to every child they come in contact with. A man will only become whatever he sees!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverb 22.6 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sole responsibility of every parent or guardian is to ensure that a child sees the future through their lifestyle. It is an established fact that a child will only become whatever he or she sees or hears. A new born baby does not have language, food, culture, religion or wisdom; his parent, teacher, guardian and those in his environment determine all these.

Therefore, God is counting on you to train up every child that comes in contact with you the right values of life and the will of God. Place around every child what you want him or her to be in the future. A father or mother who is unfaithful, tell lies, fight their neighbours, steal what belongs to others, keep malice, encourage disunity and selfishness, engage in domestic violence, encourage malpractices and sponsors discord among brethren cannot expect a child who sees him/her to do better and live rightly.

Don't ever say a particular child is not yours; that it is the responsibility of their biological parent to train up their wards. When a child turns out to be good such will bring blessing to all and when a child turns out to be bad such will affect all. A way to prepare for the future is to take the responsibility of training a child at all levels!!!
