ON- PURPOSE PARENTING

Deuteronomy 6:5-7 KJV [5] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. [6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: [7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Parenting is a divine mandate by God for the purpose of raising up a godly generation. It is a ministry that goes beyond teaching, to being role models that the children can emulate. There are no perfect parents. We excel in some and we fall short in some. Parenting is a calling that can only be done with the involvement of the Caller.

Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10:23 KJV [23] All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Martha chose to be occupied with serving when Jesus was around and Mary chose to listen to Jesus. They will not always have Jesus with them and the cooking or serving can be done later.

OVERCOMING DISTRACTION 2

Nehemiah 6:2-3 KJV [2] That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. [3] And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? Someone said we live in an interruption-based world that can be damaging to productivity. It is becoming easier and easier to be distracted. Even those who consider themselves to be very self-disciplined   are not immune.  Distraction shifts focus. It can be obvious or subtle and can cause major setbacks. Degree of distraction varies. Not everyone can be distracted by the same things. Some are distracted by people’s opinion, television, phones, association e.t.c. Anything can cause distraction. However some distractions are unavoidable due to situations beyond your control. You can’t do anything about such but you can work on those that are wi
