Teach the child in his way

Proverbs 22:6

Today we are not only celebrating the day of the saint

communion, but the Day of the Child. Today I would like to share with
you all about the way to raise our children based on
the Word of God. For in Proverbs 22:6 it says, "Instruct
to the child on his way, And even when he is old, he will not
he will separate you from him.” What should we teach them, then it says the
Word that we must teach the child? The parents that raise
children should do them like a farmer. In the foods that
we ingest daily, we are ingesting the effort of the
labradors. Let's think for a moment about the procedure of the
farming, they dedicate their time and all their efforts to
to have a good harvest.
Raising a child requires the same efforts or more.
than the tillage. Don't think that just by providing it with
food, clothing, and housing their obligation ends there,
because the indifference of parents raises young people
criminals. The Word says, "Instruct the child in his
"path" What are they?

First, you must not underestimate the soul of children. Because

the Word says that man is begotten from the
womb of the mother in sin.
In Psalms 51:5 it says, "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and
in sin my mother conceived me
After the fall of Adam and Eve, their descendants are
born in sin and arise in sin; therefore, although
a child is destined to be eternally destroyed if
he does not have salvation. The Word says that the state of the
man is evil from youth. According to the philosopher
Oriental Mencio stated that man is born good, but his philosophy
It is against the Word of God. Because the Bible says that
man is evil from his youth.
And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and said
Jehovah in his heart: I will never again curse the earth
because of man; because the intent of the heart of
man is evil from his youth; nor will we ever destroy again
every living being, as I have done
So, from the moment the child learns to speak, they must
to teach him about salvation and worshiping God.
But in Luke 18:16 it says, "But Jesus, calling them, said:
Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for
of such is the kingdom of God
That is to say, we must teach him to accept Jesus from childhood.
as their personal savior, because it is also for them
prepared the kingdom of God. We are like an egg; an egg
that has not been fertilized although it externally resembles
an egg cannot have a chick. All children are
equal at birth, but if he does not accept Jesus, his spirit

days. In the past in our country, at the age of three, they
they taught the Chinese characters. There is also a saying among
the Koreans that a bad habit of three years lasts until
the eighties. In other words, at three years old, the child is
formed almost in its entirety; so that he does not think that
because he is still a child, it is not time to talk to him about the
salvation. They will wonder what must be taught to our
children; teach that through Jesus Christ you will have it
salvation and outside of it there is no salvation. Brothers the
Islam religion originated from Judaism and Christianity.
The Quran recognizes Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
Moses, Aaron, John the Baptist, and Jesus as prophets.
But the last prophet conspired. Another big difference.
Jesus was not crucified, but was taken to the
heaven, but Judas Iscariot was crucified. So that
they deny the blood of Jesus, because they cannot
imagine that Jesus, being the Son of God, dies in the
Cruz, that's why the one who died on the cross was Judas Iscariot and
No Jesus. When we deny the precious blood of the Lord we do not

they deny that Jesus is the Son of God, they deny death
of the Lord on the cross, so there is no salvation in them.

father. So we must teach our children about
the Son of God, Jesus and salvation through him.

Secondly, we must teach the order of life. Because in

in our life there is order in what should be done now
and what we can do later. They should not be confused.
because when one confuses the order, they will suffer greatly
tribulations.
Proverbs 1:7 says, 'The beginning of wisdom is the
fear of the Lord; the foolish despise wisdom and
the teaching
Many parents today provide all kinds of preparation, but
they forget to teach him the very source of wisdom and
of the knowledge that is God and the Son, Jesus. So then
all the knowledge and intelligence of man is
they will turn into nothing and lead them to failure. Because in
there is no life to revive them.
And you, fathers, do not provoke to anger
but raise them in discipline and
the Lord's admonition
If the Jews have the most Nobel Prize winners, it is
because they have in their hearts the belief that they must
use the life that God gave them for human wellbeing.
They teach the Bible since childhood, even though they do not have the
salvation, they learn the fear of the Lord, they learn the word
of God; therefore, a third of winning people of the
Nobel Prize winners are Jews. Half of the professors of
second education in New York City are Jewish; the
half of the law professors from the universities of
Harvard, Stanford, and Yale are Jewish. If we accept the word
of God, that becomes for us the source of
wisdom; there is no more remarkable wisdom and intelligence than
the word of God. So we must teach the children
instruct him about serving God and how to use time.
Teach them to keep the Lord's day. Historian Toynbee
he assured that the prosperity and the decline of the
civilization is based on the theory of the challenge and of
reaction, but the survival of the Jews was impossible
to explain. They, after losing their nation,
they dispersed all over the world, yet they retained their
nationality and on May 15, 1948 they met again
to restore their nation; this was possible because they
they had the Old Testament. Although they were all
scattered, they were centered in the word of the
Old Testament, so it is an excellent people in
their racial characteristic and wherever they went
they kept Saturday as a day of rest. According to them, it is not that
the Jews kept the Sabbath, but the day of
rest the guard the Jews. Although they were without
nation for two thousand years, studied the Ancient
Will, they kept the Sabbath and this helped them
to preserve Jewish identity in the face of many persecutions and
stomps. Brothers, therefore, we must appreciate the word
of God, to keep the Lord's day, because this is the way
to receive God's blessing. We must also teach him
the importance of family prayer. The home is a
little kingdom of God. Family prayer is a time
to meet with God. If possible at the hour that
all family members can gather, aimed at
the head of the family offers the family prayer, it serves
also to share and intercede for another. Know that the
Inheritance for our children is not material wealth,
not the high levels of education, but the fear of Jehovah

In the Lord must be the inheritance for the children. Likewise
They must teach to serve God with goods. They must teach
to tithe since childhood. Because so says the Word that if one

Sovereign. A famous wealthy man named Rockefeller
he said he started tithing at the age of six when his
mother gave him money for the monthly expenses; since then
He never stopped tithing until he died at the age of 92. Another
famous man named Colgate, when he was a child he worked in
a soap factory and what it paid was reduced.
Consequently, he founded a large company called Colgate.
When you want to offer a thanksgiving offering, do not
let them, allow your children to do it on their own
hands. These may be for school income or expenses, for
birthday or for any activity they want to commemorate.
In Psalms 50:23 it says, 'He who offers praise honors me;'
And to the one whose way I order, I will show him salvation.

Allowing children to offer with their hands will be

God. Teach also to serve God first. That
Think first of the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Teach
to make the right decision between the kingdom of God and the
world, teach to choose the kingdom of God.
In II Timothy 3:15 it says 'And that from childhood...'ñez has known the
Sacred Scriptures, which can make you wise for the
salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus. And in Psalms
119:105 says "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path."

The first pioneers to establish the United States
based solely on the belief in God and being always
grateful. They first raised the church, then the
education building. Thus today we have

They were schools that had been established for the purpose of teaching.
the word of God. So they knew the priority
these schools were richly blessed and became
very famous today. In the currency of the United States
it says 'In God we trust'; that is, 'We believe in God'.
Although now the United States is corrupt and apart from
God, there is still among them the fear of God and this
they maintain their cultures until now. Because since they were children they
they teach the fear of God; so we too must
teach to choose first the kingdom of God and its
justice. Choose the justice of God and not of the world.
In Proverbs 2:6-9 it says, 'For the Lord gives wisdom, and in

Bible study and prayer were prohibited by decree in
the school. Thus, many young people are lost in
drug addiction, crimes and corruption. Therefore, we urgently need to
instruct our children in the teaching of the word of
God, we must teach them to seek first the kingdom of
God and His justice, teach them to memorize the Ten
Commandments to be the guide on the path of their lives.

Third, they must teach the children the importance of the

prayer. Because prayer is a means of communication with
God. Do not use words only to communicate with
people, use the words to converse with God. From there
the importance of prayer.
In Colossians 4:2 it saysPersevere in prayer, being watchful in

anointed with the oil of the Spirit, but because he was negligent

So from a young age, they should teach him the importance of
the prayer. Teach also a life full of the Spirit

Fourth, they should teach children the importance of love.

You must teach to love God and not the world nor money that
will lead to perdition. Must teach to be filled with
love of God because the Word also says 'For God so loved'
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son,
so that everyone who believes in him shall not perish, but have
eternal life." This word of God must be written in the
children's heart.
In Matthew 22:37 it says, "Jesus said to him: You shall love the Lord your God with
with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind
Loving God is the most precious treasure. The sixteenth
President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was born in
a very poor family, consequently it ended up only
the school studies. He lived in a wooden house;

sixteenth president of the United States. As if this
not long ago, he fought for equality and for the freedom of the
slaves, becoming an illustrious man before the
human history. This was made possible by the love for God. More
From the love of God, they must teach the love for parents.
In Ephesians 6:1-3 it says, "Children, obey in the Lord... Mr.

Because respect and honor to parents is the source of
ethics and morality. Because he who does not honor his parents, neither
neither the teachers nor society will be respected. Today many
parents forget to educate their children based on respect
