Proverbs 4:1-4; Deuteronomy 6:7; Ephesians 6:4
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know
understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake you not my law.
Today's discussion is the last in the five-part series discussions on the
family. Today's focus is what the lack of fatherly guidance does to the child.
This five-part series is designed to express the extreme importance of teaching
our children so they too can and will live holy lives before God.
Our scripture texts support the arguments made for parents teaching their
children in all godliness. This is so they too will be blessed with long lives
by God and become members of His holy nation of people. It is worth noting
again that children are gifts from God and are to be nurtured in His
righteousness. God Himself gave the mandate of teaching our children. As stated
earlier, the pastor and church are encouraged to do their part in teaching the
children.
A failure by either institution destroys the child as he or she has not
been taught the ways of God and is left open to Satan's demonic attacks that
are designed to destroy the child. Unless the child has been taught God's Word
and ways, how can he or she know what is expected and how to live godly? The
world and Satan's powers are too great for the untrained child to combat
without a solid foundation. The world's moral and value system contradicts
those of God, and they have no saving power.
Parents, pastors and the church let us take back our children from Satan
and the streets, because God gave them to us, and it is our duty to dedicate
them back to Him with knowledge and understanding of Him and a heart to love
Him.
A lack of godly instructions is not an option when it comes to our
children.
