PARENTING

Text :  Psalms  127:3

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

When you think about normal children, the first thing that readily comes to mind is a child that appears physically and mentally healthy. Well, this definition can suffice in an academic or medical parlance, but not in the Spirit realm. 

A normal child is one that is whole spirit, soul and body. And this can only come about with the aid of Godly parenting.

God expects His children to raise goodly children for Him. This is one of the reasons He said you should not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. (2 Corinthians 6:14).

When a believer joins himself/herself in marriage with an unbeliever,  he/she has joined himself with a wrong spirit. 

 *Essentially, everyone is controlled by a Spirit.  A child of God is controlled by the Spirit of God, if you are not His child, you are controlled by the evil Spirit.*  

Romans 8:14 says *For all who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s children.*  So, when a child of God goes into Union with a non-child of God , he/she automatically accepts the devil to co-parent their children for them.

The only caveat to this is, when the two (man and wife) both got married as unbelievers, then if along the line, one of them got converted. 

The new believer shouldn't separate from his/her partner except if the partner wants out. This is well stipulated in the word of God. 

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified because of her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy (1 Corinthians 7:14).

God knows the importance of parenting, that's why He ensures that no child jumps down from heaven, they all have to come through a father and a mother.

Once, the parents failed to perform their duty, the child will not be balanced in life except through divine intervention. This explains why we have many wounded and internally abnormal children today.

However, there's no child so damaged that God cannot heal. He is a Father that cares for His children even when the child does not deserve it. 

He is still in the business of changing abnormalities to normal. Go to Him today and He will see you through. 


 *Bible  Reading :Psalms 127:1-5.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1.) Father God, I bring my life to you today, please, guide me in the path of life.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
