‘I remember your sincere and unqualified faith [the surrendering of your entire self to God in Christ with confident trust in His power, wisdom and goodness, a faith] which first lived in [the heart of] your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am confident that it is in you as well.’ - 2 Tim 1:5 (AMP)

What are you teaching your children?

In the story of Timothy, Lois and Eunice, we see something profound.

The faith in Lois did not transfer to Eunice by Bluetooth, neither did it transfer to Timothy by genes. No, it was taught.

We have to be able to pass on who God is to our children, teaching them God’s ways so that they can serve him purely out of their decision.

In the book of Judges, that was the reason why the children of God went into captivity in that generation because they did not know the word of the Lord.

Their parents didn’t teach them and as a result they were in bondage to their enemies.

Let’s pray!

Father, thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach my children.

Help me Lord to pass on the victories and the lifestyle of a believer to my children in Jesus name. Amen

Lord, I ask for wisdom to teach relevant skills to my children so that they can indeed be pillars in their generation in Jesus name.

Father, I pray that my children will not be bereft of knowledge that will increase and distinguish them in Jesus name.

Lord, show me practical ways to teach my children the truth of your word in Jesus name. Amen

Father, I declare that my children will listen to my voice in Jesus name.

The voice of the stranger they will not hear in Jesus name.

Lord, let my life be a good example to instruct my children on how to live, love, learn and progress in Jesus name we have prayed. Amen.

Prayer Moment

Lord, just as you have promised that my children shall be taught of the Lord, please teach them in Jesus name.

Lord, in any way my teaching before now was deficient, please send people into their lives to cover that area in Jesus name. Amen.

Thank you, Lord, for always being faithful. For always moving mightily on my behalf and for being my very present help in time of trouble.

Amen.

Think Over it

What is God saying to me today?
