Children are a heritage of the Lord according to the Word of God. However, the current world view of children is they are more a hindrance than they are a heritage. One the of the most unselfish things you could ever do, is to intentionally have children. Why? Because you realize that you will have to lay your life down to see them fulfill their destiny in God. We, as Christians, followers of Jesus Christ, are to raise godly children that have a positive impact on our communities and our world.
There are three things we must do in order to raise children that are a blessing. First and foremost we must LOVE them. They must be convinced, assured and overrun with your love.
They can walk knowing they are loved. Second they have to be corrected. If we truly love our children we will correct them. Discipline is not a bad word. Dr. Doug Weiss of the Heart to Heart counseling center in Colorado says that “Desire is the result of discipline.” Third, we must give them identity. We let them know who they are, where we come from, and what we do, it will gives them security.
Let your children know your story of how God has changed your life and impacted your marriage. Spend time at your table with your children. That is part of impartation. Whether we believe it or not, we as their parents are the most influential people in our children’s life. We can raise godly children but only as we depend on God and His strength to parent and love them.
