#ParentingAResource Poverty hinders even to the point of parenting. Children are today born into families without a thought to ask “Who” or “What” they were born to do or accomplish in their generation... and who thought to ask? Just a few. The International standard bible version of Proverbs 22:6 says parents are to “Train a child in the way APPROPRIATE for him, and when he becomes older, he will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6 ISV) This word “Appropriate” by all means defines the objective of our parenting. We are therefore to nurture our offsprings with the intent to refining particular inherent resources or talent for the sole purpose of accomplishing a Calling. This also involves training a child with a “Cause” in mind which in this case should be about establishing the Kingdom or Government of God on the earth (family, career, etc) The temptation of training your children to settle old scores on your behalf is not a mission from God. Another is the idea of them pursuing careers you couldn’t. Let us endeavor to act as care-takers and care-givers on behalf of our Master, Jesus. We are to raise Soldiers for His end-time Army in the Marketplace and Pulpit and not puppets to act our scripts. He has a plan we should follow and not raise misfits for His program... Remember always Deuteronomy 6:6-8 Bible in Basic English Keep these words, which I say to you this day, deep in your hearts; Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up. Let them be fixed as a sign on your hand, and marked on your brow; #PP #ParentingFriday #AmOfPearlHOUSE (at Suru Lere, Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKM3S3Faym/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vqsiuc7ohasu
