Lead your children on the right path...

 Proverbs 22:6

Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.

This is all so important, to groom and guide our children on the path of the Lord. Jesus is the way, truth and life (John 14:6), if we want our children to walk on the right path, we will need to instill the principles, values and knowledge about our heavenly Father. This will lead them to be on the right path and have life in eternity. We need to also show the hardships we have gone through and the victories that the Lord has brought for us. This will help build their faith, so that even when they are older and they face trials and tribulations, they would hold on to the Lord, having the full confidence in who He is and what He is capable of. Proverbs 18:10 says: "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe."

This is why in the bible, God will instruct the Israelites to save certain things as evidence, that they can show to the next generation of what the Lord has done for them, so that they don't become a lost generation, but that they remain in Christ. And simple things that can help draw our children to Christ, is introducing them to the structures that speaks about and encourages building a relationship with God, for example church (Sunday school for small ones). These can be taken for granted, but God has a way of speaking to us and drawing us near to Him. Personally, I started enjoying going to church when I was still small, where my mother would make means that I attend Sunday school. When I look back now, I realize my love for Christ started then. Therefore, let us not take it for granted but ensure we bring our children closer to God. The world is harsh and in a dire state, where the enemy is on the loose looking for whom he may devour. Ensure that your children are covered, and they know who their Shepherd is.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
