The truth is that the picture of the society, government, marriage, etc.
we envisaged start from your home. God had that in mind when he
initiated marriage institution. Satan knows that also, if he can disrupt
home he has captured a generation. Note that parenting is mission
cum ministry work because it’s a divine assignment and parenting
starts with you, is like a system of garbage in garbage out, input and
output (what you sow, you reap) unless God intervene just like
Moses and Samuel yet with the parent guide. In the case of issues
surrounding Moses' birth, God orchestrated each situation because
He has to keep him away until the appointed time. While Samuel’s
mother played a great role to see to his upbringing in the midst of Eli
children (1 Samuel chapter1 and 2 verse 19, Exodus chapter 2) I see
the character trait of my parent in my siblings and I, also I see how
God has helped us, so also is in everyone. The mistake we make is
assuming that our children because they are from a Christian home
and we observe morning devotion automatically they are following
and we fail to examine ourselves. We keep counting three without
making an impact and force obedient. Also, we can't get it all
because of human limitations but we commit them to God's grace
and to the word of his grace to carry them through. The Lord seeks
godly offspring (Malachi 2). Parenting is still hope for the next
generation. At your old age then you will know the important of
training your children.
