Parents have the responsibility to raise their children. The way in which they choose to take care of their kids determines how they will grow and the character that they will have. So how can you raise your children in a godly manner?
Talk to your children
There is so much that is going on in the world and children need guidance. One of the ways that you can offer guidance is by offering instructions. You should take the time to talk to your children on a regular basis. Address subjects that are affecting the world and the subjects that the children are facing on a personal level. If you want to talk to your children always make sure that you get guidance from the scriptures.
Pray together
Prayer is very important. You need to teach your children how to pray. Start by praying together so that they can learn how to pray. Also, when you are facing a major challenge, teach your children to turn to God in prayer. This way, they will always turn to God when they have a problem instead of turning to the world for solutions.
Minister together
As a Christian, you have the responsibility to spread the gospel. You need to reach out to as many people as you can. When you involve your child in ministry, they get to understand the doctrine better than before and they also learn the importance of ministry.
Trust together
How you react to the events in your life influence how your children see God. If you panic and fail to turn to God they will see your God as not being powerful enough. You need to react to events in a Godly manner. For instance, when there is a pandemic in the country, instead of panicking, choose to educate your children about how God has saved his people from situations that are worse than your current situation. This will encourage your children to have faith in God.
Grow together
Children are always learning. They learn from reading and watching the people in their environments. When you notice that your child has started picking up behaviors you need to be very careful about what you expose them to. It is important that you display good behaviors. For instance, you should leave a life that is full of faith. You should always teach your child how to have a relationship with God by having a relationship with God.
