The Light Daily Devotional – Train up the Child

Focus: Train up the Child
The word for today
Environment and conscious impartation is what makes a child. Your children will not depart from the training you imparted on them, what you are and what they see in your life!
Scriptural Reference:
“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverb 22:6 NKJV
The preparation of your tomorrow begins with the way you train your child: what you tell and teach them, your ways of life and the nature you carry. When a child is born he or she comes with a memory to accept new things and learn from his/her environment by experience.
A new born baby does not have a tribe, language, religion or any form of identity; his environment determines all these. Whatever the child sees and was taught with respect to his/her experience becomes the component of his/her life.
When you teach them love, compassion, lending a helping hand, good manners, unity, the way of the Lord and they see the same in you; they will not depart from it. If your impartation is discord, hatred, bad manners, selfishness, greed and envy; they will not depart from it. Be mindful of the fact that whatever you sow in them you will reap in multiple fold. When you sow the seed of hatred; they will grow in it and hate you in return. In your teachings, don’t forget to teach them love without any exception.
What are you teaching your children?
Prayer: Lord! May we never fail in our responsibility over our children in Jesus name. Amen!
Emphasis: What you teach your children determines their response, sight and limit their influence to people and your entire household!
Have an Impactful Friday!
