WE MUST TEACH OUR CHILDREN, OR THEY WILL PERISH

The Word clearly states that we must teach our children; about Him and our children’s children, how can a person have a relationship with God if they do not know Him.  The Baby-boomers are failing two generation; because we do not teach our children about God, or how to pray.  Deuteronomy 6: 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be in your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and your gates. God wants us to teach His Word, to our children, and our grandchildren; we need to talk to them about Him, when sitting at home and when we walk along the road.  When they lay down, make sure they say their prayers, and when they get up show Him some praise and worship.  Don’t we remember what our lives were before we met Christ; why, would we let our children go out unprotected.  Who will give them guidance when we are not around; we must teach our children and our grandchildren about God, He is the only thing that can save them.

Today we need the rest of our Silent generation, our Baby-boomers, and our generation X that do know God; to teach what we know to others, let start at home.  We all have someone in our family that need to know God. Our mother, father, sister, brother, auntie, uncle, cousin, friend, or the next door neighbor.  Let them know when they have done all they can do, try God.  Then let God, shine through us; give them our testimony, and let them know He can and will do the same for them.  Remember, talk to them, not at them, reflect back to our days of darkness, show them love, understanding, and mercy, like God showed us.  Then they will follow us back to Him, just the way we followed the light back to Him. "HALLELUJAH"

Father, forgive us for allowing the Word to drop, from the hearts and minds of our children, teach us how to guide them back to You.  Lord, we are losing not one but two generation of Your people, because we have left You out of their lives.  Father, help us draw our children and our children's children back to You; give us creative thoughts to get their attention, and give them eyes that see.  Father, help us give our children and our children’s children, a desire to hear Your Word; and give them ears that hear the truth so they may be convicted, corrected, and restored to You.  Lord, let us teach them with love, understanding, and gentleness; so they will receive Your Word, and implement it into their daily lives. Lord, we come to You, with the faith of a mustard seed, asking You to save our children like You saved us, in Jesus name. Amen
