*DAILY DEW 07/APRIL/2022* *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) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Hello_April* ❤ (Culled from Young Ministers Fire Camp Meeting, March, 2022) Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
