THE ROLES OF PARENTS IN THE LIFE OF THEIR CHILDREN
… Being Extract from the RCCG April 2021 Holy Ghost Service as Transcribed by Discovery Media Crew!
But Parents, you have some Roles to Play; and I will go over that very quickly:
Every Parents listening to me now or Reading on the label of DMC, Please know that: Every Child put in your care is “A LOAN” from God.
Because, according to Psalms 127:3, Children are the Heritage of the LORD.
They belonged to Him – They are loaned to you.
So:
- TRAIN THEM.
According to Proverbs 22:6: Train them in the Way of the Lord.
I have been distressed when on many occasions I have had to deal with some families. They want to have maybe a Fellowship and we say everybody should be singing choruses and I see children who cannot even sing a Single Chorus – Christian families!
Train them in the way they should go and when they grow they will not be able to depart from it.
- CORRECT THEM
When you think they have become too big for you, correct them.
The African Elders have a saying: “The tree that grows in your presence if it comes up, it cannot kill you”.
Train your Children – After all, you have been trained.
Proverbs 29:17 says: If you want rest in the future, correct your children now – Correct them!
- SHOW THEM THE WAY OF GOD
Like I mentioned before in Genesis 22:1-18, Isaac asked the father: ‘Where is the Sacrifice’. Because he had been trained to know you can’t go to the Presence of God empty handed.
It is not because the Pastor needs your money; it is for your own Good!
When it is Offering Time, put something in those little hands. Teach them to do the Will of God from the beginning.
After all, many of us anytime anybody gives something to a Child, we say to the Child: ‘What do you say?’ – Thank You!
Pastors, Thank God for your life, you had Good Home Training. So you know what that means.
Some Children don’t even have Good Home Training; they don’t even know how to talk, they don’t even know how to relate with Elders.
Train them, correct them, show them the Way of the Lord – It Is the Way of the Lord to respect Elders. It is there in the Bible.
- AND BRING THEM TO THE LORD.
When you are growing in the Lord teach your Children to grow in the Lord.
I have shared with you that when my Children were Younger, when I Go-a-Fishing they go with me – I take them along.
And as we go along we learn.
I teach them African Proverbs, I teach them the Bible and even teach them Science as we go along.
I mean, I remembered very well – I think we were going to Badagry – That was several Years ago.
And I was teaching them the difference between Evaporation and Osmosis – And that is Biology.
And as we were going on the way I needed to ease myself. So we Parked by the roadside. By the time I came back I saw that the quantity of coke in my car had gone down.
So I asked my children what happened and one of them said it may be Evaporation (laughter)! And I said, maybe if I should check your stomach maybe this thing is Osmosis.
But they enjoyed going with me, studying about God and loving Him, doing His Will.
I Thank God today. And that is why I can rest because when they were Younger, I didn’t go learning about God, growing in Him and then leaving them behind.
Don’t leave your Children behind take them along with you
- CLING TO JESUS TENACIOUSLY for their sake.
It doesn’t matter what you have to go through, don’t let the devil have your Children.
In Matthew 15:21-28, when that woman came to Jesus Christ she said, my daughter is grievously vexed of the devil.
The Disciples said: Send this woman away, she is too noisy!
But she said: Sir, you haven’t heard anything yet. I’m not keeping quiet. I have a Problem that can’t wait. I don’t want to keep quiet Great One.
Even when she was called a dog she said it doesn’t matter; dog or no dog, the devil is not going to have my Child.
When it is time to Pray Beloved Parents, Pray with all your heart today:
- That the devil will not have your Child;
- And if the devil has any input in your Child at this moment, that that input must be removed tonight.
- That every Plants that God has not Planted in the life of your Children shall be uprooted today.
It is your duty to Protect your Children. And be yourself because of your Children.
- And Please, DON’T BRING A CURSE ON THEM.
In 2 Kings 5:20-27 Gehazi brought a Curse on the children that were yet to be born for the sake of money.
For all the money in the world, Please don’t jeopardize the future of your Children.
And you know what? – If you do your duty as Parents, you will be Highly Rewarded.
Because if you Study the Scriptures very well, you will discovered that when your Child is Anointed it affects you greatly.
You say what do you mean by that?
Read 1 Samuel Chapters 1 and 2, you will discovered that Elkanah had other children.
The only one that brought his name into limelight was Samuel and he is the only one that was named.
The Bible didn’t even bother to mention the name of others.
You would never have heard of Elkanah but for Samuel.
You will never have heard of Manoah but for Samson.
And if you don’t believed me read Judges Chapters 13 and 16.
It is because Samson was born through Manoah that Manoah was known.
The second time Manoah was mentioned in the whole Scriptures was when Samson was being brought back to be buried in the home of Manoah.
Many People, if I ask you who is AMRAM today? As great Bible Scholars as many of you are; who is AMRAM?
You will have to think a little bit before you will say oh yes I think I know that man.
But who is Moses?
Ah, everybody knows Moses – Moses is known in three (3) Religions.
He is known among the Christians, he is known in Judaism, he is even known in Islam – They call him Alhaji Musa.
… But do you know his father is AMRAM?
When your son is Anointed your name becomes known.
So, there is a reward for taking care of these children and for getting them Anointed.
