*THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PARENTING* (I)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father."* (2 John 1:4 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The training of the children is a kingdom priority. God is more interested in how children are raised than we could imagine. Definitely, the level of attention given to children upbringing, going by the much decadence and loss of values prevalent today is a testament of poor parenting in this last days.
God would rather we cater for children in terms of teaching them right, than giving them everything they ask for. We have replaced providing the demands of children with proper nurturing of children. This nurturing begins from the womb. And it is definitely not the sole business of the mother.
Both parents, especially the Father, must start laying hands on the children from the womb. This must be done deliberately and consistently. The baby right from the womb must be familiar with the parents' praying and prophetic voices.
Start to prophecy to your children not only when they are still in the womb but after they have been born as well. Prophecy more than you complain and chide. As you prophecy ensure you are living a exemplary and practical life, aligned with the Word of God.
Set a good example before your children. Don't ask of them what you can't or do not do yourself. Reading parents for instance, will definitely produce reading children. Lovely, mutually respectful and caring parents, will naturally produce lovely and emotionally intelligent children.
Love your wife as the gift to your children. Love your husband as the gift to your children. It is sheer ignorance and hypocrisy to claim to love your children, while hating, abusing and disrespecting your spouse.
_MEDITATION:_
*"And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth."* -- Malachi 2:15 (Amplified Bible)

*Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (The End)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Don't worry and ask yourselves, "Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?" Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these. But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well."* (Matthew 6:31-33 (CEV))
_Bible Insight:_
Jesus switched from talking about physical food to spiritual food. This is the second time He made such a switch of words. The Samaritan woman wanted physical water, but Jesus redirected her to her real need – living water, eternal life. The disciples talked about food, Jesus redirected them to that which is more important - spiritual food – doing God’s will.
The disciples focused on the physical. Jesus wanted them to know the importance of that which is spiritual. We are to be concerned with the will of God. We are to be concerned with the salvation of the lost. Can we see the PASSION of Jesus’ heart?
Can you feel the passion of His heart today? Are we talking only about the physical? Are we praying only for physical needs? Are we preoccupied only by the physical – the affairs of this life?
We are to be PASSIONATE not just because this is God’s will for us. Jesus explains further, saying to His disciples, in verse 35: “Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.â€
_MEDITATION:_
*"We are to be PASSIONATE because time is running out. It’s the right time to reap now! Let us develop a PASSION for the work of God. Don’t wait. Do it now. You may not get another chance."*

*Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (IV)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."* (2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Learn from Jesus – He knows clearly the Father’s will –
(1) PRAY AND SEEK WISE COUNSEL FROM ABOVE. Discuss with your spouse, family members – get advice, know what you need to do at this stage of your life.
(2) PLAN AND PRIORITIZE. You need to plan. Jesus did not choose to go with His disciples. He got a quiet place and a one-on-one conversation with the woman. He started talking about water, because that’s what the woman was out to get. And Jesus gave her the “living waterâ€.
Prioritize and you will be able to DO and FINISH the works God has entrusted you. Lastly…
3. Live Your Life With A Godly PASSION
The disciples urged Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.†(4:31) Jesus said, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.â€
When he sat down at the well, he was weary, and needed refreshment; but this opportunity of saving souls made him forgets his weariness and hunger. He ought to be thinking about food. The disciples have to urge him to eat.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The disciples were interested in food. They went into the village to get food. They came back with it. The Lord was consumed with love for lost souls. He was interested in saving men and women from sin, and giving them the water of everlasting life."*

*Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."* (John 4:34-35 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
God wants to work through you to bring love back into your home, to bring the good news of Jesus to your colleagues, to restore someone who is grieving or hurting, and give them divine hope and joy.
Live your life with a divine purpose. Let God do His work through you. Matt 5 – Jesus says God expects us to be “the light of the world†and “salt of the earthâ€.
Jesus shows us a second lesson:
2. Live Your Life With THE RIGHT PRIORITIES
Speaking to His disciples after they return from buying food, Jesus says (John 4:34) “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.â€
Obviously Jesus is not saying He does not need to eat. He is thirsty and hungry at this time, that’s why the disciples went to the village to get food. Jesus wanted them to know that the real aim and purpose of His life was not to cater to the body, but rather to do the will of God. At this point of time, getting food is not the important thing. Meeting up with this woman is. Once He missed her, there might not be a second chance.
Jesus has just done it – leading the Samaritan woman to faith in God and eternal life in Him. And not just for her. Jesus stayed two more days in that town so that more will have a chance to hear – He is to DO and FINISH God’s work. John 4:41 “And because of His words many more became believers.†The people say in verse 42, “now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world.â€
_MEDITATION:_
*"Jesus says the priority now is to DO God’s will and FINISH His work. Not just knowing, but doing. Many know but not doing."*

*Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Jesus says “For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me. And this is the will of Him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that He has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.â€"* (John 6:38-40)
_Bible Insight:_
1. Live Your Life With A Clear Purpose
Jesus and his disciples were on their way to Judea from the North (Galilee). If they had taken the normal route, they would not have passed Samaria. In fact, there are at least 3 different routes from Galilee to Judea, yet Jesus made a deliberate trip to stop at this place - Samaria. The Bible says in v.4 “Now he had to go through Samaria.â€
Why? Because He knows His purpose – to bring the message of God’s love to the Samaritans. He has come to meet the woman at the well, and gave her the message of new life that He can offer – “living waterâ€. And did He succeed? Yes, in fact, very well. The Bible says (v.39) “Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the woman’s testimony.â€
Jesus lived His life with a purpose – a very clear one.
Do you know your Father’s will? It all starts with God. People often ask, “So what do you want to achieve with your life?†This is not accurate. The right question for us is, “So what does God want you to achieve with your life?†The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfilment and happiness. It’s far greater than your family, career, and ambitions. God revealed to us, from Scriptures, the grand purpose of our life – to know Him and make Him known.
_MEDITATION:_
*"For some of us, we need to know Him more – devotion, prayer, worship. For others, we want to make Him known – to those in our homes, offices, school. Make this year a purposeful one. Let God accomplishes His will through you. God wants to work through you."*
