Christian Inspirations.-Lets share.

Hi ladies,
I came across a parental inspiration and I thought I would share this.

Pray! Pray! Pray!

Let your children know you as a prayer warrior. Always pray for your spouse, children and for yourself.
There is power of life and death in the tongue; so parents must control the words they utter or say to their children. You need God’s help to make sure you do and say the right thing at the right time.
And your children need God’s protection from the temptations that Satan puts across them constantly.
Prayer is the master key, hand it over to your children. Let them know the efficacy of prayer and teach them to pray at all times in all circumstances with thanksgiving to God.
The best gift to our children is the gift of our prayers. It is a gift of tremendous power that has definite eternal consequences, but costs nothing but our time. God in His infinite mercy will grant to our society the true family values based on His word. Amen!

 

Families are to spend time together:

Time and love is what children want most today from their mothers and fathers. Doing routine tasks together are highly appreciated by children; such as reading the Holy Scriptures together, playing together, reading them stories, going on picnics, doing dishes together, working in the garden, cutting firewood, going camping or just being there for them. A family must stay close as a knit family, spending time together.

Families are to set definite limits:

Children want order in the home. It may mean some tough love and discipline at times. Discipline is a risky form of love because the child often rejects the one administering it. However, when discipline is given fairly and in love, children do not complain. Someone once said, that discipline is one of the most durable gifts we can give our children.

King Solomon, using the wisdom God blessed him wrote:

“He who spares
his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him
disciplines him promptly.”
(Proverbs 13:24).

Definite limits are not for children alone. Parents must also set limits for themselves. Husbands must know their limits and lovingly keep to them, just as wives must know their limits and respectfully keep them.

Parents to be the right model:

Someone once said, ‘Do as I say and not what I do”. This is not Biblical. Parents must be role models to their children. Parents must live what they believe and say. Be genuine; children have a way of spotting hypocrisy immediately, and they don’t like it. It has often been said, that, the best thing fathers can do for their children is to truly love their mothers. The best thing mothers can do for their children is to be submissive to their husbands. Showing affection and love openly to your spouse is a sure way of getting your children to understand love and appreciate it.

Show your kids how much you value them:

Parents must consistently demonstrate love and respect. This involves being a good listener, speaking in respectful tones, expressing appreciation for something well done, showing affection (appropriate touching on regular basis). Resist the temptation to “preach” to your children. Think of what it takes to make you feel valued and do the same to your children.

Let your children choose when appropriate:

Do not be overzealous and over domineering but make sure your children understand that each choice has consequences, good or bad. They must learn to accept the responsibility for their choices. It is not always the loving thing to do when we shield them from suffering brought on by their own choices.

 

THE WEAPON OF LOVE

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper" (Isa 54:17).


If no weapon that is formed against us should prosper or overcome us, we must have a greater and mightier weapon than the weapons formed against us. What is this weapon? It is the love of God. When we learn to love our enemies with forgiving love, that heavenly love can conquer all the powers of darkness coming against us.



The enemy, the devil, may have many weapons, including "fiery darts" (Eph 6:16). Look at the challenging words in the Song of Solomon: "Many waters cannot quench love; neither can the floods drown it" (S.S. 8:7). Many waters speak of the rejections, humiliations, accusations, hatred, persecutions, etc. coming against us. When we are filled with Calvary's undying and unchanging love, these weapons or trials are no doubt but straw before the fire.



"Love is strong as death" (S.S 8:6). In a deep sense, God's love is stronger than death. Death is the last enemy. If it is possible to conquer the last enemy through the love of God, surely all other enemies and weapons can be easily conquered by love.
"Love is strong as death" (S.S 8:6). In a deep sense, God's love is stronger than death. Death is the last enemy. If it is possible to conquer the last enemy through the love of God, surely all other enemies and weapons can be easily conquered by love.


Perhaps today you are confronted with many of the enemy's weapons. The only way to become more than a conqueror over these trials or troubles is to be filled with Calvary's pure love. Are you able to love those who insult you, humiliate you, persecute you, reject you, despise you, deceive you, or deprive you of your money and goods? IF SO, you are more than a CONQUEROR.

BLESSEDNESS IN FORGIVING OTHERS...:

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in His ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee" (Psa 128:1,2).

Fear and forgiveness go together - "there is forgiveness with Thee that Thou mayest be feared" (Psa 130:4).

"That walketh in His ways" When we cannot forgive others we lose the fear of God - instead of walking in His ways we begin to walk in our own ways. The very fact that you cannot forgive or refuse to forgive someone, shows that your mind is already set in your own ways. "The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways" (Prov 14:14). You may have many reasons and excuses for not forgiving; however, know that "there is a way that seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Prov 14:12).

"Thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands." This is a blessing found in forgiving others. If you refuse to forgive, others will eat the labour of your hands. "Happy shalt thou be." Yes, forgiving people are always happy people. It has been rightly stated by someone - "A happy marriage is a union of two forgiving persons." Unforgiving people will always be unhappy. "It shall be well with thee." Doctors say that if a person cannot forgive others, high blood pressure, nerve tension, heart problem, cancer and many other ailments can afflict him.


"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Forgiving others too, is the beginning of wisdom.

 

PRAYER FOR CHILDREN


Monday: Ask God to place a protective, solid hedge around your children so that Satan cannot reach in and lead them into temptation and so they will be safe from harm (2 Thessalonians 3:3; Psalm 33:20).
Tuesday: Pray that your children would use godly wisdom in selecting friends and peers that will make a positive difference in their lives. Ask God to give each child a discernment of people as well as knowing the difference between right and wrong (Proverbs 1:10; 18:24; Deuteronomy 13:6,8).
Wednesday: Pray that your children would stay pure in their thoughts and deeds (Psalm 24:4-5; Job 17:9).
Thursday: Pray that they will be caught if they wander into cheating, lies, or mischief (Hebrews 13:18-19).
Friday: Pray they will be alert and thinking clearly as they attend school and extra curricular activities and as they take exams. Ask God to help them be motivated to do the best they are capable of doing (Colossians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 10:31).
Saturday: Pray for the spouse each child will marry someday. Ask that they will come from godly homes and have an appetite to live the spiritual truth they've learned. Pray also that their goals and purpose will be the same as your own children and their future homes would be godly (Deuteronomy 5:29).
Sunday: Ask God to help them live their lives for Him and that He will use them as a testimony and witness for His glory. Pray that they'll be grown to full spiritual maturity (Psalms 78:1-8, 103:17-18; Isaiah 54:13; Ephesians 3:20-21).
Do not leave your children unprotected-that is, vulnerable to Satan's attack. The greatest shield of protection we as parents can provide for our children is prayer. It's never too late to start (1 Samuel 12:23; James 5:16; Colossians 4:2).
