Pillars in Parenthood
This article discuss about motivating and parenting, this was shared by our pastor and i want this to be share also with you guys. It may help also to guide us in our everyday living. This can be apply too if you are the superior on your working place.
When you say pillars its the foundation that hold everything so it wont break or loose down. As a individual, sometimes we loosen down by our everyday situation. special in taking good care of many things, may it personal or for the corporate group.
As the quote saying: "Its better to build a child than to repair a man!". And also the bible verse of Ephesian 6:4 said like this, "Fathers,do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
Here are the Pillars in Parenthood:
1. Encouragement:
Now a days most of the kids are very revelous to their parents or guardian. Probably they think that they would be ok if they don't ask it on there parents. This issue is very huge topic so to make it more concrete. This generation of kids was open in many situation because of the easy access of media. They easy relate there life on the people which they believe was having the same situation. And also kids usually thought they can rely on there friends instead of there parents/family because they knew that there friends will support them and give them encouragement, unlike some parents who are most likely to shout on there children rather than to talk to them in calm way. Parents should be more aware of it.As it said on Proverbs 18:21 "Death and Life are in the power of the Tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits". And also in Proverbs 16:24 ,"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones". When people praising us, we tend to be more active and lively and do more positive thing, because of the inspiration we get from them. But if we aren't value we tend the reverse way. Bad relationship will come along until most of us made a strong wall and hide on it.
We have the responsibility to be an encouragement to one another, to make them realize that its better to do things and we will bear good things. And isn't a happy place if we encourage one another rather than making them the worst person they can be.
2. Discipline:
As they said discipline yourself and they will follow what they seen on you. Parents are the model of their children, that's why most of now generation are the replica of what kind of parents they have, and what there parents practice in life, definitely they practice it too. Parents should set boundaries on how they will limit there child but not on the expense that the child may experience abuse. Parents should also establish a clearly define rules, so kids wont be too exaggerate to do things on their way. Hebrew12:7-11 said " Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

3. Instruction:
"If you want to have a good life you should learn to follow instruction!", that was my father tagline. I was raised in a family that should know how to follow and respect the elder, that is why until now i carry it with me. Even Jesus give us instruction how to manage our life as said in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord and do't lean with your own understanding.." and even in Psalms 90:12 goes like this "Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto Wisdom. If we follow rules and instruction we practice to be patience in every situation in life. And we produce more quality thins such are enhance our skills in many ways. As a parents we should set simple instruction for kids/children cope on what we really want them to do/be. Let us experience them the importance of following instruction, and explaining to them what benefits they can get if they practice to follow instruction.
Not all household was bless with good family, that's why we should embrace the knowledge given by God. We should practice the teaching from the old church till now our generation. Christ makes things more easier for us to live as an individual. Practice our faith, always seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Let's open the way of Christ living to the new generation, so that we can rest assure that we are making a great colony that are prepare in life. We are once a children so we are more aware what kind of life children have. God bless you all guys.Thanks for reading this article.
