Being Successful

The Family in Training 

A parent cannot give a child everything they need in life

They must make their own accomplishments

But parents can give their children faith and the discipline

They will need to lay the foundation for their lives

The training a child in the way they should go when properly done

Allows the child to become whatever God calls them to be

Because they will have been taught Wisdom, Knowledge,

Understanding and Discernment

These things will grow because they will have known the value of Discipline

The rewards of Faith and Discipline lead to successful living 

The Family in Training

Life…. What is more amazing?

Life ….What is more wonderful?

In the beginning God created life of all forms in the earth.

God has given us this power to create life.

If you are a mother or father chances are you under-

stand what it is to be filled with amazement and wonder.

With creating life comes the greatest

responsibility a person can have.

You have heard it said,

 “Nothing is more important than family”.

Success starts at home

1 Timothy 3:4,5

For those of us who realize God is the author of life,

we realize there is a second birth that must

take place to make the first birth of any value.

Jesus said, “You must be born again”.

The first birth is by the will of the parents.

The second birth is “through faith”.

The first responsibility as parents

is to instill faith in our children.

We can give our children the whole world but

if they lose their soul in Hell what value is that.

In order to have faith you must have discipline.

You cannot keep the faith without Discipline.

The Book of Proverbs starts out with…

“The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

for attaining wisdom and discipline ; for understanding words of insight;

 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life”

Proverbs 1:1-3 NIV

Proverbs starts out with and continues throughout

the Book with the importance of “Discipline”.

  

Discipline… there is a lot of theories on the subject.

It takes discipline to be successful in life.

 

Discipline means to correct.

There are many ways to bring correction.

Sometimes correction comes easy and other

times it has to come the hard way.

Discipline at times requires punishment.

In raising children Proverbs gives us some

good advice concerning discipline.

Discipline used properly is a demonstration of true love.

 Proverbs 13:24

Proper discipline has proper objectives…

To remove foolishness from a child

 Proverbs 22:15

To save the soul of a child

Proverbs 23:13,14

To impart wisdom and avoid shame

Proverbs 29:15

 Proper discipline has rewards such as peace and delight

Proverbs 29:17

 Discipline at the time is not pleasant but later in life the child

 who sees the discipline was in love and helps them

later in life, will love you and show gratefulness.

  

Discipline must be applied before the situation

gets out of hand (while there is still hope).

Discipline must also be applied under controlled

circumstances (do not be willing party to his death)

Proverbs 19:18

Discipline is not to be used to vent your anger

Ephesians 6:4

A very familiar verse in Proverbs concerning

the wisdom of childrearing is Proverbs 22:6.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when

he is old he will not turn from it.

The word “Train” means to start with discipline.

Spiritual discipline develop self-control.

As children grow they develop skills and

their personality become more obvious.

It is the early disciplines of their character and the disciplines

of how to gain wisdom, knowledge and self-control that will

give them the freedom to become all God has gifted them to be.

If your child wants to be a pilot and fly jets you can help them

achieve their goals even though you would not be caught any

higher than the first step on a step ladder.

The disciplines we give our children are the start to a

time when they will need to discipline themselves.

Because you must have self-discipline to be successful.

  

A parent cannot give a child everything they need in life.

They must make their own accomplishments.

But parents can give their children faith and the discipline

they will need to lay the foundation for their lives.

The training a child in the way they should go when properly

done allows the child to become whatever God calls them to be.

Because they will have been taught Wisdom, Knowledge,

Understanding and Discernment and these things will

grow because they will have known the value of Discipline.

The rewards of Faith and Discipline lead to successful living.
