Children investment



Children investment, or Principles for educating our children will give You 12 areas of concern, where we must focus our attention in the area of children.

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not turn from it" (Proverbs 22:6)

The word "Train" here means:

- to narrow someone's road in the right way - Jesus is talking about the wide road leading to death and the narrow one, leading to life.

- to start, begin, initiate - this is speaking about our responsibility to do it. Children will not learn by themselves, neither will they start their education alone.

- to discipline, train and commit.

Let us invest in our children in the following 12 areas:

1. God's callng and purpose in their life (this will end the chaos and lack of order in their life. Talk to them that the Lord has a purpose for their life, a calling and mission they are to fulfill in their lifetime.)

2. God's doctrine in their life (faith, convictions, word, concepts. Talk to them, so you can know what they are thnking on all major questions of life. Talk to them like with adults, even though they are little ones.)

3. Redeeming the time (Ecclesiastes 3:11; time must be commited to the values of the Kingdom. If a person has the right perspective about time, he will be successfull in everything else as well.)

4. Developing the fruit of the Spirit and not the works of the flesh - Galatians 5.

5. Developing the gifts of the Spirit and the talents the Lord has placed within our children.

6. Creative thinking + financial education. Develop a different kind of thinking in them, let them not think like everybody else, but be creative and different.

7. Having a Godly character.

8. Having compasion and showing mercy t the people in need.

9. Fatherhood / sonship / submission to the authority the Lord is placing in their life.

10. Identifying and paying the price (strong will, not quitting, dealing with rejection, confusion, etc.)

11. Reality with God.

12. Power and not words only. In order that we have power, we must enlarge our capacity - our vessel - otherwise the Lord would not give us His power, because we will spill it out.

Children investment nugget: The best way to predict your future is by creating it yourself!

God Bless You!
