A WORD IN DUE SEASON

Train Up Your Child.
"One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;" 1 Timothy 3:4
Our opening scripture is one of the preconditions for leaders. Leadership should begin from your home. You must lead your children well to truly be a great leader.
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 give children the right to decide to do or not to do what their parents tell them to do. However, 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 of such nations have become very rebellious and ungodly in those societies. This is why you must not allow your children to make their own decisions especially when it contradicts the principles of the kingdom of God. You ought to guide them in the way they should go now that they are still young. Do not leave your children to themselves and the media. The Bible says, ''Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Instruction.
Pray for your children and other children around you today - Pray that all your children will be taught of the Lord. Pray that God will grant them wisdom to discern between right and
wrong. Pray that God will deliver them from wicked and unreasonable men and women as well as from the negative influence in society.
