SCRIPTURE: And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.” – Luke 10:37
In our Fire Scripture today, the first verse commands us to imitate God. How can we imitate someone that we cannot see? Job 11:7-8 tells us that we can see the mysteries of God but cannot probe the limits of the Almighty; they are higher than the heavens. Our God is love; you can be an imitator of God by living a life of love.
These days, most of our children live a life that is filled with fear. The main reason our children live in fear is because we parents live in fear. We have never learned to cast out fear by trusting completely in the love of God. So our children never learn to do it better. In other words, we cannot pass on to our children what we do not possess ourselves. This is why we cannot live one way and tell our children to live another.
Children are great natural learners and they learn best through observation and imitation. If your words say one thing and your actions say another, your children will pick up on your actions and ignore your words. For this reason, you must be very careful to live the way you want your children to live.
The old adage, “Do as I say not as I do” is a recipe for parental failure. Your children learn much more from your actions than they do from your words, especially if your actions and words do not agree.
As a godly parent, your words and actions must go hand in hand so as to work out great effect in reproducing your godly nature and character in your children. They must be Bible-compliant.
Parenting is powerful because it shapes the mind, attitude and behaviour of your children and wards for either good or bad. Children learn their behaviour by watching and imitating people they see. Be an imitator of God and a good example to your children!
