Zelophehad’s Daughters: Parental Influence (Series II)

“Show me a child, and I will tell you who his parents are and how well he/she has been taught.” Whenever a child act or display a show of honour or shame, we simply check his track-record of where he/she is coming from. Parents have significant role to play in the life of a child. That is why God made some people (father and mother) with higher experience in life their custodian; to provide, nurture, train, teach, encourage, be there and take responsibility for them. “I work 4 shifts because of my children”, if you are busy making money without training them, they will eventually waste the money you have made all your life. As much as you want to make money, create time to train them. You can reduce 4 to 3 or 2 shifts so as to have time for them. Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6). How do we pay the bills? Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path. Proverbs 3:5-6. God can never go against Himself nor His Word, if you want to train your children and God sees your heart as such, He will make a way for you.
