Speech (5 min.): W07 5/15 15 pars. 3-5. Title: Your children notice what you do (th lec. 16).
"We know that we come from God, but the whole world is under the power of the Evil One" ... The Apostle John wrote in his first letter chapter 5 see. 19
Of this there is no doubt, the Devil dominates the world and exerts an unhealthy influence in his world and Christians are not free from this problem… Young people especially are blank today.
That is why the children and young people of the congregation must cultivate moral and spiritual values, learning to distinguish the good from the bad. If they come to know and love Jehovah, their education will be truly beneficial and will accompany them forever. Parents play a critical role in what their children learn and how they value and interpret it.
On this, not only is it enough to tell them that it is important to serve Jehovah and focus on the interests of the Kingdom, but parents should reflect what they say in their life, remember, their children pay attention to what parents do and also parents Are the main teachers in raising children to love and fear Jehovah? The answer is found in one of the best known texts that talks about the relationship between children and parents.
LET'S READ: Deuteronomy 6: 5-7
Love Jehovah your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These words that I am sending you today have to be in your heart, 7 and you have to instill them in your children and talk about them when you sit at home, when you walk on the road, when you go to bed and when you get up.
This law was given to all the people of Israel through the prophet Moses, especially to Israelite parents and obviously Christian parents can also benefit from the lessons it contains, first parents have to set a good example for their children To love Jehovah, parents have to love him and treasuring his sayings will have a profound impact on them.
Another thing that parents should bear in mind is that the dreams, ideals, values and interests that you have are manifested not only in what you say, but also in what you do.If you say you love Jehovah, your children will notice. If you show interest in meetings and participating in the ministry, your children will notice; if they realize your zeal for Jehovah they will be prompted to imitate you in these respects.
So, take responsibility for teaching your children and take the time to do it. You are not perfect, so you will make mistakes along the way. But if you sincerely strive to do God's will, your children are likely to appreciate and benefit from your efforts.
LET'S READ: Proverbs 22: 6
Educate the child in the way he should go, and he will not leave it even when he grows old.
Remember that education lasts a lifetime, there will always be more to learn about Jehovah and how he will use us to fulfill his purpose.
