DO NOT LEAVE THEM

The goal is to be supernatural parents, raising children that you can account for in the spirit.

Oh yes, God will bless your marriage with fruitfulness, but it doesn’t end there. It doesn’t end by receiving children from the Lord, in fact, that is the start of your assignment as an earthly guardian to a heavenly treasure; what you do with the seed that has been released to you by God. 

I wish you knew. 

How that Jeremiah revealed the mystery of conception to us.

How he revealed the relationship that God is currently enjoying with your unborn children right now.

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born, I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

This mystery tells us of a place of knowing in the spirit before our children are released to us. A place where God communicates and anoints your children according to their ordination on the earth and the interest of God they have been commissioned to protect. But, how you preserve that ordination as a parent is a protocol of supernatural parenting.

If your children are first known by God in the spirit before they are released to you on earth, will they continue to retain their relevance in the spirit after they come out of your womb? 

Will a prophet in the realm of the Spirit still be a prophet when he is released into your one-bedroom apartment, or your duplex?

If a child who is sitting in heavenly places leaps out of heaven into your womb, will He or she find an altar in your home that replicates the splendor of the heavenly places the child is accustomed to?

Will an evangelist retain his office when your prayers for a child are answered?

Will your children continue to know the God that has first known them before they were formed? Will that relationship be sustained through your office as a parent?

Jesus said, ” I do what I see my Father do.” Will your children lose sight of what they have been seeing their Father do because they came into your home? 

Think about this please. Really think about this. 

The goal is not to just have children; the goal is to birth different extensions of God. 

 Some of the statements that characterize our relationship with them is 

“Leave them, they are different”. 

“They are growing up in a different time”

O wrong!!!

Technology and civilization have blurred the lines between childhood and adulthood.

They know a lot of things, even more things than you; and you want to leave them? HOW?

Things have changed.

The world has become more chaotic  

They are on Instagram. 

They are on Facebook.  

They are conscious of their looks. 

They have travelled the world.

And you want to leave them?

Instagram is not leaving them 

TikTok is not leaving them 

Snapchat is not leaving them

Even cartoons are not leaving them – those things are replete with sexual orientations and relationships that were considered abnormal only 2 decades ago

And you want to leave them?

Leave them to be what?

Leave them to do what?

They are exposed to the adult version of every other aspect of life and living, except faith, honor, and values. They have smartphones but no Bibles, they have social media accounts and watch TV, but when it comes to things of faith, you play things down 

When you leave them, you’ll only realize that with time 

You are the battle.

You are the war.

The earth does not have to be without form and void, but someone ought to speak to that child saying “Let there be light!”

Many know a lot more adult stuff, much more than you did when you were their age. And maybe even more than you know now; when it comes to morals and faith.

You must provide adult discussion too, and speak to them like they understand, because they do understand.

It is not a child who has every social media account active, exposed to the raw world that should get “My Book of Bible Stories.”

O wrong.

And the church was not instituted to take the place of the home. It cannot do what the family, especially the father is meant to do. The school cannot take the place of the home. It cannot do what the home is meant to do.

Charity begins at home.

Foolishness begins there too.

Fathers now have the charge. They have the responsibility of raising the next generation of fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, professionals, artists, artisans, leaders, adult human beings. And, they are growing up very fast.

Teach them the old unchanging truths in this age of many new and fleeting trends.

Help them realize they need not just sails to progress but an anchor to not drift.

That strong depths are needed for greater heights.

That they need both solid faith and liquid finance.

That they need to grow more than they need to be rich.

Talk to them patiently but firmly.

Train them innovatively but properly.

Help them stand, by taking your place

Scripture backing:

Proverbs 13:1

Intelligent children listen to their parents; foolish children do their own thing.

Proverbs 29:15

Experiencing many corrections and rebukes will make you wise. But if left to your own ways, you’ll bring disgrace to your parents.

Hebrews 12:7b

…For who has ever heard of a child who never had to be corrected?

Proverbs 22:6

Direct your children onto the right path,

and when they are older, they will not leave it.
