Welcome to Parenting Tuesday

Welcome to Parenting  Tuesday 

Scripture Foundation

John 15:16 AMPC
You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you.

The Gift of Children
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible gift of children. They are not just our future; they are a divine blessing entrusted to us by God.
✅In this pivotal era, our children are the generation that will stand at the gates, contending with the enemy. But fear not! They belong to Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah, who has already secured victory. 
✅Yet, we face challenges. The adversary intensifies his strategy against our precious ones—seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. He aims to distance our children from us and from God. But we, as parents, mentors, and leaders, stand firm. We declare that our children shall rise and prosper in the land! 
✅Our children are more than just a statistic; they are a chosen generation—anointed, set apart, and destined for greatness. They carry the torch of hope, faith, and love. As a royal priesthood and a holy nation, they will serve God and honor their parents. 
✅Let us equip them with wisdom, resilience, and unwavering faith. Let us nurture their hearts, minds, and spirits. And let us celebrate their uniqueness, knowing that they are engraved in the palm of the Almighty God’s hand. 

Prayer πŸ™ 
Today, I surrender our children to the One who knows them intimately. Lord, protect them, guide them, and use them to illuminate the world with the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May their lives glorify Your name.

Parenting Nuggets: Nurturing Faithful Generations

 


Parenting Nuggets: Nurturing Faithful Generations

Scripture:Romans 5:1 (AMPC)
"Therefore, since we are justified (acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us grasp the fact that we have the peace of reconciliation to hold and enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."
🌿Quote on Parenting:
"Imagine if we started raising generations of children who stood uncompromisingly on the Word of God, knew how to defend the Christian faith, could answer the skeptical questions of this age, and had a fervor to share the gospel from the authority of God’s Word with whomever they met! This could change the world." — Ken Ham
How ⏳
1. Family Devotions: Regularly engage in family devotions where you read and discuss Scripture together. Encourage questions and open dialogue about faith.
2. Model Faith:Be intentional about living out your faith in front of your children. Let them see how your relationship with God impacts your daily life.
3. Serve Together: Find opportunities to serve others as a family. Whether it's volunteering at a local shelter, participating in a community cleanup, or helping a neighbor, serving together fosters a servant heart. Servant leadership starts at home!
4. Pray Together:Set aside time for family prayer. Pray for each other, for specific needs, and for the world. Teach your children that prayer is powerful and essential. I get amazed at the prayer requests that are brought home sometimes. Praying with them helps them to know that there is a place that we can take whatever is burdening us, at the feet of Jesus.
5. Discuss Worldview: Equip your children with a biblical worldview. Discuss current events, cultural issues, and ethical dilemmas from a Christian perspective. Help them think critically and compassionately. Let them have a safe space to bounce off ideas and share what they may be picking around them.
6. Encourage Questions: Create an environment where your children feel comfortable asking questions about faith. Be patient and provide thoughtful answers, even if you don't have all the answers. Questions help us to understand their view, and it better prepares us on what we may need to focus on.
Prayer:
"Lord, thank You once again for the gift of our children. We recognize that they are a reward from You. As parents, help us to be deliberate in teaching them Your ways. May our homes be places of discipleship, where we equip our children to face the world with unwavering faith. May our lives reflect the truth about Jesus, leading them to know Him and confess Him as Lord and Savior. Holy Spirit, guide us in this journey. In Jesus' name, amen."
Remember, nurturing faithful generations involves intentional effort, consistent modeling, and lots of love. May your parenting journey be filled with grace and joy!
