Topic...THE FAMILY AS A BEDROCK FOR PROPER CHILD UPBRINGING
Text... 1Sam 1:21_28
Minister... Rev Nwokocha-peters Ogbonna
Child dedication is not just a fulfilment of all righteousness. It is a prophetic action that is bound to affect the child all through his lifespan
There are factors that greatly influence the life of a child namely
π₯ ENVIRONMENT
The family which is the major ENVIRONMENT from where children are brought up has been under the attack of the enemy for a very long time and the reason being that the devil knows that if you train up a child in the way that he should go , he CAN NEVER depart from it
If you destroy the home where the child ought to be properly trained, you have destroyed that child..
Beware of odypus theory, where a child negatively learns from the parents and later on in life, begins to act as such. Children are great imitators. Odypus theory can only be reversed by the grace of God, only when due apologies have been made and a new atmosphere introduced. NEVER maltreat your spouse in the presence of your children. It destroys that child
π₯FAMILY ALTARS.. Exo 17:14_15, 13
The family altar is where the WORD of God is rehearsed before the ears of little children. Children learn by constant repeatition . If we want our children to be what they ought to be, our family altars MUST be strong. If you fail in this, you are automatically building a generation that will destroy you.
π₯ SALVATION AND YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
Family life is only for those who are genuinely born again. Gen 2:21_22, people who have a very personal relationship and encounter with God. Acts10:1_6, 25
What you are inside reflects on the outside. You must be genuinely born again for you to raise a godly army
1John3:6_9
Matt7:24_27. Every family foundation must be tested by this three things namely
β‘Rain of blessings
β‘Flood of affliction
β‘Wind of change
If you don't build your family on the solid rock JESUS, even the rain of blessings can scatter the family.
