Train Up A Child In The Way He Should Go

Prov. 22:6

The Bible says “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Prov. 22:6). To train is to prepare someone for something through learning skills. It is to instruct that person what he or she should do to achieve whatever is his desired goal. The training is not always easy as it involves rigorous teaching and instruction, and it is not a day job, rather it spans over a long period of time. Parents have these responsibilities of training the children in all aspects of life so that when they grow up, they will continue to do those things they have been taught by the parents. The training must continue until the children become mature and are able to stand on their own and are able to discern between good and evil.



Point Of Emphasis: Teach your children right from wrong.

Prayer Point: Lord, help me to teach my children how they should live useful lives.

Don’t Show Favouritism To Any Child

Gen. 25:28; 27:1-10

There is no way that all the children given to you will have the same peculiarities, but different ones. There are some who will perfectly obey your instructions and some that will violate them ever before you finish giving the instructions. If care is not taken, one will tend to show love, affection, special attention, sweet words, etc to those obedient children and the opposite to those not cooperating. This must be avoided. Be a wise parent. Do not love a child above the other. Doing so could be disastrous. Esau hated Jacob and was planning to terminate Jacob’s life, were it not for God’s intervention. As a matter of fact, it is those children that are disobedient that you should give special attention to through prayers, advice and encouragement.



Point of Emphasis: Watch your actions, don’t sow discord among your children.

Prayer Point: Lord, give me the wisdom to unite my children in love.

Command Your Children And Household

Gen. 18:17-19

Look at od’s testimony about Abraham. At this time, Abraham had not got the promised-child. But God knew him so well and what he would do in caring for his children and household that God said He cannot hide any information from him. As a father, you have responsibilities to command your children and household to keep and walk in the way of the Lord and in righteousness and justice. No child will want to do these on their own, but parents must strife to train them in righteousness. Before God evaluates the level of your teaching on the children He gave to your care, give yourself mark. What is your scorecard in this regard? Adjust today and start doing the needful in commanding your household in God’s way.



Point of Emphasis: Do your best to have good report from God in raising up your children in a godly way.

Prayer Point: Help me Lord to command and teach my children in righteousness.

Children Are God’s Heritage

Ps. 127:3-5

Many parents do not have a proper perspective of who really own children. Many think that those children really belong to them and as a result they treat the children the way they like. This thought is a wrong one. The real owner of all children is God Almighty. Children are God’s heritage. God is the sole owner and giver of children, the parents through which they are born into the world are just care-takers on behalf of God. Therefore, parents need to understand that God is counting on them to raise those children in His own ways and terms. Parents will give account on how they have discharged this responsibility to God on the day of accountability. Therefore, play your part well.



Point of Emphasis: God owns the children, parents, are just caretakers.

Prayer Point: Lord, help me to take care of the children You put in my care in Your own ways.

Trusting One Another

Phil. 4:4-9

It is easy to believe and accept the wrong comments about a brother or sister, even one’s spouse. The devil sows the suspicion to defile every human relationship. But in a family, the husband and wife should live such a transparent life that it is made easier to trust one another. When one party hears a rumor about his or her spouse, it is necessary to immediately discuss and iron things out. Do not let issues that can cause suspicion pile up between you and your spouse. Each party in the relationship should learn that trust is earned and not given. Do not do anything that will destroy the trust your spouse reposes in you. Once you break the trust, it is more difficult to earn the trust of your spouse again. Areas where trust is easily broken are sexual fidelity, financial truthfulness, commitment to the welfare of your spouse; etc. When one party offends the other, the offended party should not close the door of trust permanently. Give room for reconciliation.



Point of Emphasis: Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Prayer Point: Holy Spirit, help repair the homes where trust has broken down.




BACKGROUND

In this week’s lesson we are considering the recipes that make believers to build a godly home and the characters that lead to bad homes. Believers are enjoined to assimilate and emulate the good virtues while bad traits should be avoided to forestall pitfall in their families.



NOTES ON THE TEXT

PART 1: WISE PEOPLE BUILD THEIR HOMES (1 COR. 3:10-15; PROV. 24:3-4)

After the ecstasy of getting married is over, couples soon get into their normal routines and expect that the family will continue to bring joy without any special effort. Each party soon relapses into his/her natural self and negative character traits that were carefully hidden during courtship soon surface. Wise couples know that the family is like a physical house; it needs to be worked on if the house will keep being habitable. They consciously develop those habits and attitudes that will help build the home.

Character traits and attitudes that build the home:

Selfless caring for and loving one’s spouse (Col. 3:19; 1 Cor. 13:4-cool

Hardworking to provide for family’s needs (Prov. 31:10-31)

Forgiving, peace loving and controlling of anger ( 3:14-18)

Readiness to obey God’s commands and serve God together (Ps. 1:1-3)

Openness to truthfully discuss issues that affect the family

Humbleness to apologize when at fault; no keeping of malice

Acceptance of spouse strengths and weaknesses.


PART 2: FOOLISH PEOPLE DESTROY THEIR HOMES (PROV. 14:1)

Consciously and unconsciously couple can indulge in traits and attitudes which eventually may destroy their family. No one actually wins when the family is destroyed or fragmented. Every member of the family comes out a loser. The enemy is given the permission to truncate the destiny of the family and God’s purpose for the family.

Character traits and attitudes that destroy homes:

Nagging and intolerance of spouse (Prov. 25: 4; 27:15-16)

Unguarded abusive or derogatory comments/communication about spouse

Selfishness and stinginess

Suspicion and lack of trust

Lack of respect for spouse; comparing spouse with other people’s spouses

Unaffordable expensive lifestyle; reckless spending

Untidy house-keeping and poor personal hygiene

Intolerance of spouse’s relatives

Violence against spouse (physical and emotional abuse); controlling spouse for selfish ends

Third party interference and unresolved conflicts


CONCLUSION

When a member of the family indulges in attitudes that are detrimental to the smooth running of the home, he or she is destroying the foundation on which God has planned his or her wellbeing should be built. God demands from His children to build up the family so that godly children can be raised up in such homes. Each member of the family will give account of his or her contribution to what the family eventually turns out to be.



QUESTIONS

What do wise couples know about family?

Name five out of the character traits that build the home.

Explain how humbleness to apologise when any of the couple is at fault could be an asset in the family.

What should you realise about a family that is destroyed?

How can you play your part in preventing your family from destruction?

Submitting One To Another

Eph. 5:17-21; Phil. 2:1-4

Men who want to take advantage of their wives are quick to quote “wives submit to your own husbands”. For a marriage to work, submission is a mutual obligation. Submission involves readiness to consider the opinion and suggestion of another person and to accept them if better than one’s own. No one has the monopoly of the wisdom needed to successfully run a family. The husband’s opinion may be superior to that of the wife at times, while at other times the wife’s opinion or suggestion may be superior. Both husband and wife must be willing to accept each other’s opinion or suggestion. The husband being the head then means after the opinion has been taken, the husband is seen as the driver burdened with the responsibility of taking the family to the Promised Land. The husband should not operate in the home as a dictator. The wife should not see herself as inferior and having nothing to contribute.



Point of Emphasis: Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

Prayer Point: God, grant us the grace to always look out for the interests of other members in the family.

Understanding One Another

1 Pet. 3:1-8

Often one hears comments like “why can’t women be like men?” Women cannot be like men, neither can men be like women because God created the two sexes differently. The marriage is enriched when husbands understand that their wives differ in the things that interest them, in the things they consider important and in the way they approach issues. For example, women are more interested in dresses, talking about both great and minor issues, details of issues and events; etc. The husband should always remember he is married to a woman and not to a man. The other side is also true, the wives need to understand that men approach things differently. Husbands are enjoined to treat their wives with understanding – with the awareness of the differences between men and women. When both husband and wife accept the differences, there will be fewer complaints, grumblings and fights.



Point of Emphasis: Seek to understand your spouse better and consider his or her side in the relationship.

Prayer Point: Father, give us the grace to seek to understand our spouses better than we do now.

[b]Total Commitment

1 Cor. 7:10-16


A man and a woman should go into marriage knowing very well that God wants the marriage to last for life. If the marriage is to last that long, then the couple ab initio (from the beginning) needs to have firm commitment and have the determination to make the marriage work. Total commitment implies that each party will do everything in his or her power to ensure that the marriage does not fail. Marriages fail because the relationship is taken for granted, each party expecting the other party to be committed without he or she playing his or her own role. If the husband is committed without first waiting for the wife, and same thing for wife, then there will be no need to ever think of divorce or separation. Commitment involves forsaking all for the sake of the family; seeking to understand and cherish the marriage partner; readiness to apologize when one offends; avoiding the thought that you made a mistake in marrying your partner; etc.



Point of Emphasis: Have the firm commitment that the boat of your marriage will not capsize.

Prayer Point: God, grand us the grace to nurture our marriage for life.

Open Communication
Ps. 12:1-8; Eph. 4:15


When God said that it is not good for man to dwell alone, He did not mean physical interaction alone. God created Eve so that both can communicate their feelings and desires between them. Open communication is a very important ingredient if the family will succeed. Open communication implies a couple needs to discuss all matters that affect them as a family. Keeping secrets often engender mistrust. In most homes, it is often the wife who wants to discuss while the husband does not see any reason to talk. This often results in the husband or wife taking important decisions without the two having thoroughly discussed the issue and coming to an agreement. Such a couple may be one physically, but are not one emotionally. Absence of useful discussion between a husband and wife builds up emotional barrier. Discussion should not be done with the intention of winning an argument. The intention is to understand the point of view of the partner and possibly accept it.



Point of Emphasis: There should be truthful and genuine communication between husband and wife.

Prayer Point: Holy Spirit, repair all communication channels that have broken down in our families.

Forgiving Spirit
Matt. 18:21-34


A couple which will enjoy bliss in their home will learn to forgive each other. It is certain that offending each other is inevitable. Some people have the knack to keep account of offenses against them; they keep permanent records of what their spouses have done to offend them. Ironically same people readily overlook same actions if done by spouses of their friends, but they are unwilling to overlook when the actions are done by their own spouses. Keeping record of wrongs throws sand in the gears that keep the family running. Unforgiving spirit disqualifies the person from obtaining forgiveness from God. Couples should learn to forgive each other freely. The offending party should not take the spouse for granted either. It is unlikely that a genuinely born-again spouse will intentionally keep doing what is wrong against his spouse.



Point of Emphasis: For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Prayer Point: Father, give us the spirit which readily forgives those who offend us.
