My Agenda or Yours?

Parents, do not provoke your children. Love them unconditionally as I love you, forgive them as I forgive you, and raise them up as I am raising you. Do not inflict your agenda into their lives.

Give them freedom and teach them the responsibility that comes with it. Help them to

understand that choosing My will is always the best. Speak My words into their being and not yours.

Your children are My gifts to you and I appointed you as My shepherds to lead and guide them on the path of life. Do not overpower or control them. Control will only lead to rebellious behaviours.

Learn from Me and how I teach you in your failures. Teach them the fear of the Lord so that My little ones will walk in My wisdom.

Activation:Do these words speak to your hearts? When they speak, do you feel the rattle of conviction? Have you put wisdom above His? If so, repent for not trusting the Lord and not partnering with Him in raising your children. Ask The Holy Spirit to illuminate those places of your hearts. Ask Him to give you His wisdom and His grace to raise your children.

Isaiah 54:13 (NIV)  

All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.

John 6:44-45 (NIV)

“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.”
