Train up your Child

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

Secondly, do you know that reducing parental authority over children is one of the plans of the new world order? They intend to break the communication between parent and child so that parents do not pass on their Christian traditions to their children.

They intend to carry this out by promoting excessive child rights which gives children the right to decide to do or not to do what their parents tell them to do. We thank God this is not prevalent in Africa as in some European nations.

In other to reduce parental authority over children, they have also proposed abolishing corporal punishment, in other words we are looking at a situation where it will be against the law to flog your child with a cane as correction for wrong behaviour. Yet the Bible says in Proverbs 22:15, “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” Proverbs 23:13-14 says, “Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.”

When you observe nations where these excessive child rights are in force, you will also observe that the children and youths in such nations have become very rebellious and ungodly in the society. This is why you must not allow your children to make their own decisions especially when it contradicts the way of the kingdom of God, you ought to guide them in the way they should go now that they are still children. Don't leave them to themselves and the media. This is why the Bible says in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
