BAD PARENTING: THE BANE OF HUMANITY




Children are special gifts from God. They are divine responsibility from God to man.

Our children are the direct image of our self’s, as we are direct images of God. What ever you put towards our children is what directs them and guilds them through in life.

Most Of Our Problems in Life is based on the fact that we fail to know how to get on with children. You only ask God to give you children, but you do not know how to bring them up in the fear and knowledge of God.

If I tell you the task involved in caring for and bringing up children, you will realize what great task we parents have. Among the whites, one who is a millionaire is satisfied with a lone child, because his preoccupation is how to bring up that child in a proper way.

It is not difficult to rear children; rather what is difficult is how to nurture them in the knowledge of God. The trouble of many parents arises from shabby and maltreatment they mete out to their children.

We often complain that your child is useless and is not worth anything. we also complain that our children do not know God. Who is responsible for this? we the parents should be blamed for it.
You say you want to serve God, and that if you were to see God that you would do everything for Him. The little children sent to you are the likeness of God therefore whatever services you would have rendered to god, render unto these children.
If you want this world to be good, you have to get along with children, with good attitude. Do not curse them, always bless them, be simple, tolerant, loving, show mercy and peaceful attitudes. Use humility to lead them to the type of life God wants them to live.
Realize that whatever you do to a child, he will grow up with it. If you beat, curse or torture him, he will copy the same attitude. And when he becomes a parent, he will apply the same attitude. If we continue with such attitudes, when do you think the world would be reformed?
 The father of Abraham did not know that his son will become the father of many nations. Was he himself the father of many nations? When the mother of Moses delivered Moses, did she know that Moses would be the person to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt?
 When Mary delivered Jesus, did she know that Jesus would be the Christ, Messiah, and the supreme Ruler of the universe?

 I cannot enumerate all the good things, which have been done by men born of good parents. We should help the children, supply what they lack and see if they would not be reformed.
 In LUKE 18:16-17 and it reads,
"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Our Lord Jesus Christ advises us not to forsake the little ones, because the kingdom of God is like them. What lesson has Our Lord Jesus Christ now taught us?
If Christ went as far as knowing and recognizing little children, holding them up and blessing them, then every person should be aware of the significance of blessing children.

That blessing bestowed on little children by Our Lord Jesus Christ has passed on to all children in the world till today.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the friend of little children; He walks with them, converses with them, sings with them and blesses them.

 Let us emulate Our Lord Jesus Christ by feeling free to talk to children, eating with them, singing and conversing with them.

 It is wrong to say you have no child, what about all the children around, who owns them? They are the children of God. If they are God's children, they are your children. Therefore you should care for them.

We therefore have a responsibility for all little children. You are indebted to God unless you nurture them in the fear and knowledge of god.
At all times bless your children,I do not only mean blessing them with wealth when you build houses for them, buy new clothes for them and prepare delicious food for them, but you should BLESS THEM WITH THE WORDS OF GOD.

You have to teach, guide and love them, whether they are your own children or children of other parents. If you do this you will receive blessings from God.
Always bring them up in the fear and knowledge of God and teach them the way to righteousness, employing simplicity, humility and understanding. This is the greatest legacy you can leave for your children.
