GODLY VALUES FOR BRINGING UP GODLY OFFSPRING

Godly values are like compasses; they are always pointing the way and if you know how to engage them and make them become part of your child, he won’t get lost or confused by conflicting voices in the process of time.

A child needs to be taught! The scripture confirms that a child should be trained in the way of the Lord and by the time he grows up he would not depart from it.  Therefore it is the duty of Parents to instil certain godly principles in their offspring. The following points could help:

1.     Let your child know that God is the only assured Source. In other words, teach them to trust God and rely on Him for everything.
2.     Teach them to have godliness with contentment.
3.     Teach them how to fear the Lord.
4.     Teach them to have unconditional obedience. Let them know when they obey you, they obey God and when they do otherwise, they disobey God and not you.
5.     Teach them to be self-disciplined.
6.     Model your child.  Become who you want to see your child become.

Conclusively, in the process of raising godly children, you are obligated as parents to;
1.     Give affection to your child always
2.     Give direction to your child always
3.     Give correction to your child, when he errs.


Isaiah 54:13 “I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace”.
