Raising Children God's Way
Prov 22:6
It's a choice!
Let’s be real — life is full of choices. Some make us, and some break us.
Believe me, as a woman of faith, a wife, a mother, and a missionary, I have witnessed firsthand the joy and peace that result from understanding and abiding by God's truth. I have also experienced and seen the pain and misery that ignorance of His Truth causes.
And I have chosen the former: to go all the way with His Truth. That’s right: living, loving, and leaving an enduring legacy.
So, if like me, you have decided to stop settling for a superficial faith life and want to start living the life that God has planned for you, then come along, and let's make every day a better day!
Have you ever started something with passion and excitement, only to find yourself stuck, discouraged, or settling for less than what you originally envisioned? You’re not alone. Many of us [...] Read More
“So Sarai said to Abram, “The Lord has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can have children through her.” And Abram agreed with Sarai’s proposal.”(Gen 16:2)
“Abram traveled through the land as far as Shechem. There he set up camp beside the oak of Moreh…Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him.” (Gen 12:6, 7)
"When they came to the land of Canaan, Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the Oak of Moreh at Shechem. And at that time the Canaanites were in the land"
(Gen 12:5b-6).
“He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there" (Gen 12:5).

#10 - Be The god Your Child Sees
Don't you see that children are God's best gift? The fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior's fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth.
Have you ever faced a challenge so daunting that every part of you wanted to throw in the towel and walk away? We have all been there. That moment when the burden becomes too much to bear and your inner voice begs you to "just quit." It’s a powerful force—a beast that seems to creep in at our most vulnerable moments, coaxing us to abandon the very things we once believed in with all our hearts. What if, however, you viewed this "I Quit" moment as a turning point- a chance to rise, develop, and find your voice?
"So Naomi and Ruth traveled until they came to Bethlehem. When they entered Bethlehem, the whole city was stirred because of them, and the women of the city exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”(Ruth 1:19)
Imagine yourself in this situation for a moment. You’ve lost everything: you have decided to head back to a land you once called home, and suddenly, your widowed daughter-in-law, a young woman from a people your own people consider enemies, wants to go with you. Would you take her? Or would you have embraced her and tried to convince her to stay behind?
Naomi took that risk. She allowed Ruth, a Moabite woman, to walk with her into an uncertain future.
Read and find out the outcome of this risk.
#5 - You can bloom again
Rising Above the Challenges of Life
Do you feel like it's all over? Like life has dealt you a blow and you can never be the same again? Naomi and her daughter-in-law had been dealt a huge blow in their lives. Everything around them looked bleak. But Naomi decided to go back home and start all over again.
Divorce rate is increasing in our time, and infidelity is no longer frowned upon. People agree to define what sin would mean to them in order to design "convenient living" for themselves. As a father, you need to help your son see the wisdom in keeping romantic relationships on hold until he is ready to commit to the marriage covenant.
How can I teach my son to love his neighbor in the fast-paced world of today? Can I still raise a son with values that can stand against the tides? You can teach your son to love people in ways that will enable them to be better citizens of the contemporary world.
What do you do when you have done all you can to parent your child and he still is not responding the way you desire? Loving your child unconditionally does not always mean that your child will do what you expect. Our Father in heaven keeps loving us inspite of our shortcomings.
How do you know if you are loving your child? What you may be calling love, may be in conflict with what the child really needs. You can love your child in a way that makes him or her feel loved.
