Apostle Grace Lubega

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV); Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

When God, through the scriptures, obligated us to train children in the way they should go, he did not limit it to instructing them on how they should behave or conduct themselves in society.

The Hebrew word for ‘train up’ in our theme scripture is ‘chanak’ which is translated to mean, among other things, ‘to initiate.’ Read within that context, the scripture says, “Initiate a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

How do you initiate a child in the way he should go?

The starting point is at birth because birth in itself is a rite of passage. As such, the first words that a child hears are very important.

Certain world religions have borrowed this principle and apply it diligently. For example, in Islam, a call to prayer or adhaan are the first words a newborn Muslim baby should hear. They are whispered into the right ear of the child by his or her father. By this act alone, a child is initiated into a dedicated life of prayer.

You have the power to command the destiny of your child the moment he or she is born.

As you speak, you align them to a godly destiny and place them on the paths of greatness.

FURTHER STUDY: Deuteronomy 6:7, 2 Timothy 3:15

GOLDEN NUGGET: You have the power to command the destiny of your child the moment he or she is born.  As you speak, you align them to a godly destiny and place them on the paths of greatness.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. Your wisdom is continually at work in me. I know how to instruct my children in the paths of understanding. By knowledge, I introduce them into great realms of access, to the glory of Your name, Amen.

MFUNDISHE MTOTO – 1

Mtume Grace Lubega

Mithali 22:6 (KJV); Mlee mtoto katika njia impasayo, Naye hataiacha, hata atakapokuwa mzee.

Mungu, kwa kupitia maandiko, alipotuwajibisha kuwafundisha watoto katika njia wapasayo kuiendea, hakumaanisha tu tuwaelekeze jinsi wanavyopaswa kujiendesha katika jamii.

Neno la Kiebrania linalotafsiriwa ‘kulea’ katika andiko letu kuu ni ‘chanak’ ambalo limetafsiriwa kumaanisha, miongoni mwa mambo mengine, ‘kuanzisha.’ Inaposomwa ndani ya muktadha huo, andiko hilo linasema, “Mwanzishe mtoto katika njia impasayo kuiendea: naye hataiacha hata atakapokuwa mzee.”

Je, unawezaje kumwanzisha mtoto katika njia impasayo?

Hatua ya kuanzia ni wakati wa kuzaliwa kwa sababu kuzaliwa kwenyewe ni ibada ya kupita. Kwa hivyo, maneno ya kwanza ambayo mtoto husikia ni muhimu sana.

Dini fulani za ulimwengu zimeazima kanuni hii na kuitumia kwa bidii. Kwa mfano, katika Uislamu, mwito wa sala au adhana ni maneno ya kwanza ambayo mtoto mchanga wa Kiislamu anapaswa kusikia. Wananong’onezwa kwenye sikio la kulia la mtoto na baba yake. Kwa tendo hili pekee, mtoto huanzishwa katika maisha ya kujitolea ya maombi.

Una uwezo wa kuamuru hatima ya mtoto wako mara tu anapozaliwa.

Unapozungumza, unawaweka kwenye hatima ya kimungu na kuwaweka kwenye njia za ukuu.

MASOMO YA ZIADA: Kumbukumbu la Torati 6:7, 2 Timotheo 3:15

UJUMBE MKUU: Una uwezo wa kuamuru hatima ya mtoto wako mara tu anapozaliwa. Unapozungumza, unawaweka kwenye hatima ya kimungu na kuwaweka kwenye njia za ukuu.

SALA: Baba Mpenzi, Nakushukuru kwa ukweli huu. Hekima yako inaendelea kufanya kazi ndani yangu. Najua jinsi ya kuwafundisha watoto wangu katika njia za ufahamu. Kwa maarifa, ninawaingiza katika nyanja kuu za ufikiaji, kwa utukufu wa jina lako, Amina.
