CATCH THEM YOUNG!
Text: Matthew 19:13-15
Emphasis: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6)
Narration:
Wise societies do not play with the upbringing of their children, knowing fully well that they are the future, and their future status would be based on the type of foundation laid by generations before them. Today’s scripture clearly tells us that the training of any human should start from childhood, not when they are already grownups with formed habits. There is nothing stronger to bend than a mindset already set in stone and fully opinionated (Matthew 13:15).
Attempting to force-correct a grown child is very difficult, especially when he or she has already joined a cult or notorious gang – groups that acted as family while the real parents were busy elsewhere. The growing and formative years are when a child should be taught, so they develop according to what is envisioned for them. Any child left unattended will likely grow into a wild and untamed adult, becoming a burden and menace to both family, society and the world at large (1 Samuel 2:12-17; 3:11-14; 4:15-18).
Beloved, if the enemy is working tirelessly to infiltrate and snatch our children while they are still young, why are we – their rightful guardians – not doing even more to keep them safe and away from him? Neglecting children today is inviting sorrow tomorrow. Do not let excessive busyness make you unavailable when your children are young, tender, and in need of you. Otherwise, you may end up spending far more later to rescue them from the troubles caused by earlier neglect – and tragically, you could still lose that child in the end (Proverbs 29:15).
Prayer: Great Jehovah, please enable us to train children in the right way, in line with Your commandments and help them to turn our right; we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
