SUFFER LITTLE CHILDREN
Train Up A Child
Training can be rewarding for both the Parents & Child
The role of the Mother & Father
When a child is born, they are totally unaware of the outside world. They have no idea where they are, what is going on around them or what the future holds for them. The mother and father plays an important part in introducing him/her to the world. The outlook that the child will form towards life depends a lot on their parents. Their attitude, views - religious or otherwise- their perspective on life and goals, will all be gained from mom and dad. Eventually they will mature and perhaps form their own changed views, but the initial years and what they learn will always have a lasting impression in their minds.
Since the parent is the most important person in the life of a child, they are looked up to. Their habits and behavior become a model for the child. Whatever the child observes from them, such as mom's housekeeping habits, her manners, her relationships with others, the way she spends money, and in general their lifestyle, will all undoubtedly affect the child’s character. A mother is said to be better than a hundred teachers. Her emotional strengths and weaknesses are an example for the child, and will be followed for many years to come even though all of it may not be worthy.
You have heard the old saying, "the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree." A child seems to following after their mom or dad’s ways even when they know they may be right or wrong. It is almost like an unconscious reaction, and it takes effort to behave differently. Thus the parents have an important task of setting forth a good example. It may seem difficult, even impossible.
Model for the child
Many people think it too great a burden to be acting near perfect all the time, even in the familiarity of their own homes. However it is a good training. What parents will change in themselves for their children will become a habit, and will lead to a real change. It is not perfection that the Lord demands from parents, but a willingness to accept the responsibility of modeling good acceptable behavior.
However, 2 Peter 1:5-8 says; For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Strengths of a Mother
The following qualities need to be acquired by all mothers.`
​
Awareness of responsibility
Motherhood is a career, and those who take it up must try and excel at it. It is the duty of every mother to look into better techniques and strategies of parenting. A wide variety of material is available, there are books at the libary that can be checked out, there are books and magazines that can be purchased at just about any store, but the best one to have is the Bible. The Lord left it for us as a guide to help us in any situation we have and directions to heaven. There are many books and magazines that are published about parenting. Reading these from time to time helps increase awareness and vision. When a mother reads about problems that parents face, she is comforted by the fact that she is not alone. That is very reassuring as often parents assume they are the only ones having difficulties. Also, reading about solutions used by other people, or advice given by psychologists etc. helps broaden the choice of possible tactics in dealing with children.
Setting Goals
A parent has to know what they expects from their children, and then explain it to them. It is not enough to want good children. The children must know what exactly is expected from them, and what the parents want them to do. Sometimes dad tells his son to cut the grass.
Because it has not been explained to the child what has to be done before cutting it, if not he will do it the way he thinks it right. The child may be blamed for being sloppy, lazy etc. for not doing it right. The frustration and heartache could have been avoided if the child knew exactly what was expected from him, rather than a vague order to cut the grass.
The same can be applied to all chores, behavior with others, academic achievements etc. Parents must have definite goals of what they want, and make them clear. Setting goals in life and reaching them are two different things. They must learn that when they set a goal it is very important that they reach it. Later on in life when they have a real job and the forman tells them to do a job, they will have to do and do it right. If they don't, they won't have a job.
Encourage children according to Their Potential
Not every child is the same. Each child has to be handeled in a different way. While one child can learn something the first time, it may take another child two or three times to learn the same thing. Each child comes with his own distinctive potential. Children have abilities that could lead to great achievements. Some show skill and interest in a certain areas, while others prefer a different one.
Some parents unwittingly put their children through a great deal of embarrassment and humiliation. The child must be taught to overcome his shyness. Some books on shyness may help. Or the mother could give practical suggestions of what the child could talk about to others. A mother’s gentle guidance can remedy many a flaw and weakness in the character of the child.
There are children who are naturallly slow at picking things up. We must be patient with them, take all the time they need to learn something or work out a problem. School isn't like it was in days of old, now days they have special trained teachers and classes to help these children keep up. If your child needs help in this area, talk to the school about getting him or her help.
Qualities of good Parents
Good parents has outstanding qualities. No one can replace them in the life of their children. The following are some of the things which make them so unique.
1. A deep love for their children
A parent’s love is unmatched. Whether young or old, healthy or handicapped, troublesome or obedient, the child is still beloved to their parent's. This love may be displayed in various forms. Sometimes children misinterpret scoldings and rebukes to be a sign of lack of love. It is important to assure the child that he is always loved, even when his behavior warrants disciplinary measures. Such a child becomes confident and happy, and will never seek solace elsewhere. The love of the parents become a source of happiness and peace at home. Children feel attached to the home because of the parents love for them.
2. Sacrifice and dedication
Parents give up a great deal for the sake of their children. They give their her time, their sleep, their pleasures etc. to ensure that their children are all right. No one comes even close to doing what a parent does for their child. That is why I say, it is only with the help of the the Lord that one can thank the parents for all their sacrifice and efforts.
A good parent places the needs of the child, both physical and emotional needs, first. This is an important point to keep in mind, especially in these modern times. Women today are deluded by society into making their own careers and jobs more important than their homes. The home will always remain a woman’s most valuable work and that may require all types of sacrifices. It is not really a sacrifice, but is an investment which will reap great dividends.
3. Protection and security
A good parent always tries to safeguard the child from danger and difficulties. However some mothers tend to be over protective. It is wise for the child to learn to face some problems in life, according to his age and circumstances. A coddled child will be unable to face the realities of the world when he grows up, a world which will not be as considerate of him as his mother.
Methods of Religious Training
Actions speak much louder than words. No amount of advice of a parent to refrain from backbiting will work if the child often hears the parent backbiting himself. When the child is exposed to hypocrisy, lying, selfishness and other such qualities at home, it is very likely that he will grow up following the same. A good example from the parents works even without words.
A child who grows up in a home where time of prayers is maintained, where hypocrisy in relations is avoided, and where contentment prevails, will grow up to do the same. Although it may seem a huge task to be able to be a good model for the child, parents should know that it is the only way they can really teach their children. No other way is as effective.

God is full of merciful, love and is willing to help and guide us. Teach children to love the Lord, trust in Him, and to ask from Him all their needs. Before He left us to go back to heaven, He said He would send us a conforter, the Holy Ghost, to take care of us and to lead and guide us. This positive attitude will help the child build a lasting relationship with the Lord.
Psalms 23 - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Who is God?
The following scriptures are taken from the King James Holy Bible.
They will tell us who God is and His name.
John 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The Old Testament is replete with references to the Name of God and its inherent meaning. There is a true revelation about the Name itself. Trinitarians miss that complete revelation since they have called the name given to Christ merely "Lord", and miss the point of Matthew 28:19 as it mentions the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost being Jesus in light of the truths I note below in this study. God's name was repeated again and again and stressed so much so that we are left to realize that there is an important note to be understood concerning just His Name. God informed Israel that throughout the world they would be called by His Name.
Deuteronomy 28:8-10 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
The Name of God was to be praised, exalted and thought about!
Psalm 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Psalm 113:1-3 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name [is] to be praised.
Psalm 83:16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
The Name of God was a distinguishing factor given to Israel to separate them from all other people and other religions.
As people's names in the Bible were not chosen for mere pleasantness of sound, as they are today, there was a special reason OT saints implemented when naming their children. The name they chose often declared the circumstances surrounding the child's birth or aspirations the parents held for the child. So names in those days represented the nature of the individual. It revealed the person's character. (Recall Jacob's name "supplanter", being changed to Israel, "Prince with God.")
So, too, was God's name indicative of His nature and Character.
Note the words God spoke to Moses regarding His name:
* Exodus 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
* Exodus 6:7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Abraham used that name JEHOVAH, but he did not know the full significance in that name. He did not know God as a God of Deliverance. When God delivered Israel, they knew Him in a new way! They had greater understanding of his character than did Abraham.
Progressively, more and more, God revealed His character to mankind, and it was often expressed by a new name!
* Jehovah-Jireh means, God our Provider.
* Jehovah-rapha - God our Healer.
So, when people wanted to know more about God, Himself, they sought to know His name.
Genesis 32:29 And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Judges 13:17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
1 Kings 8:43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible says
"To know the name of God is to know God as He has revealed Himself..."
"When used of God, 'name' in the Old Testament has a revelatory content."
The amount of stress that is put upon the name of God in the Old Testament is put upon the name of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The trend to exalt God's name and to praise and call upon His name in OT reading is continued in NT writings, but the name mentioned and stressed, exalted and praised, is JESUS' name.
This in itself proves that the name of Jesus is indeed the Name of the God of the Old Testament. Where is there stress of any other name in the New Testament? You cannot find another name stressed so highly besides "Jesus."
Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
The early church preached in such a manner as to incite onlookers, including critics, to comment how they preached the name of Jesus. What could they have possibly been saying to incite such descriptions of themselves?
The following passage relates the answer
Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Acts 4:15-18 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them [is] manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny [it]. But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
