Can Good Parents Bring up Bad Children

<h1>Can Good Parents Bring up Bad Children</h1>Author: <a title="angelamwema" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/angelamwema/84051.htm">angelamwema</a> Parents want the best for their children. They also want their children to be well behaved and God fearing. If you fear God and walk in his ways, you want your children to do the same. You might find that some parents are God fearing but the Children have chosen to abandon the ways they have been taught by the parents. The general rule is, good parents bring up good children but sometimes, this is not always the case. So what do you do when you have tried all that you can to bring up your children in the right way yet they chose to walk away from it? First and foremost, you must realize that we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities, evil spirits and rulers of darkness. This means that your child is not the problem but the spirit of disobedience in him. You must therefore fight this spirit using the word of God and prayers. When you learn that your child is not the enemy, you have won half he battle as you will not be attacking your child directly. Parents who have children who have gone contrary to their teachings need a lot of support from family and church members. Realize that just as the devil can chose to attack your family though sickness or lack, he has chosen to attack you through your child. Do not let him win the battle but become a prayer warrior and put him into his right place. Be praying for your children even before they are born. Dedicate them to God and let your Pastor pray over them when they are born. This way, you build a hedge around them that the devil cannot get through.

WE ARE CHRISTMAS!

By: Linda Mose Meadows | 20/12/2009
It's time to celebrate the Christ child's birth, and it's also a season for reflection and joy. In my estimation, it's really a time to give spiritual birth to new possibilities, new endeavors and new insights. It's time to unearth dreams and embrace realities yet to be seen. I believe we endeavor to capture the essence of the Christmas Spirit, Christ in our decorations, traditions, celebrations and rituals.

Caring For People

By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | Christianity
It is not easy to have a burden for people who are not related to you. It takes God for someone to be compassionate and do something for people who are in need. We as men are selfish and self-centered. Thinking and being there for others is a gift from God. At times, it requires a lot of self sacrifice. All this can be achieved if we crucify ourselves and ask Christ to be our Lord and savior.

What Matters To God

By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | Christianity
What Matters To God When we get born again, we are so careful to do everything perfectly and please God in all that we do. We think before we talk and treat people better. Our love for God is very intense. We want to tell everyone about this wonderful thing we feel and preach to everyone though most of the time we are not even sure of what we are saying. We spend a lot of time with God in prayer and reading his word.

Mathew 9:35-37. When Jesus was preaching the word to the people, many came from all parts of the world to see him and hear from him.

God Blessing You Financially

By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | Christianity
Many people miss the formula of how to get their financial breakthrough. It’s all very simple; you have to understand why God does things. He will not bless you so as you have a fat bank account. He wants you to have money so as you can feed, educate and shelter the needy. He wants you to be able to make a lasting change in someone else life. That’s the only time he will give you more than you need. The day you will truly understand this principle, you will be on your way to financial overflow

Where Does God Want You to Spend Most of Your Time

By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | Christianity
Some people would say the church. If this was true, God would have made everyday a Sabbath. Jesus too would have spent all his time in the temple of God. God wants you to spend most of your time where you are of real use and are impacting on people's lives. If every one of us was truly being a good steward of what God has given us, most of the problems we see today would be a thing of the past.

Asking For God's Help

By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | Christianity
When challenges encompass us, as they will sometimes, what is your reaction? Do you run to God for help or do you just opt to do it on your own? What happens when we get a challenge is rush and get a quick solution for it. We most often than not do not remember that God wants to be there for us and take us through all that we face in this life. When all does not work, we remember him and ask if he can intervene.

Living for God

By: angelamwema | 11/09/2009 | Christianity
When we give our lives to God, we ask him to come and be our Lord and Savior. What this means is that we are not the drivers of our lives and destinies anymore but Jesus Christ is. We stop living for ourselves but for God. We ask that his will may be done in our lives. Whatever he wants to do in us, he may do to the glory and honor of his Holy name.
