The Heart of a Child: A Tabular Rassa

The heart of a child is a Tabula Rassa, which means that every new born baby comes into this world with clean mind. But the heart cannot be kept empty, something must fill it up, here comes the opportunity for every parent to write the word of God into the heart of these children before the devil takes advantage of them.
The heart of the children must be trained to love the Lord wholeheartedly and must not allow their lifestyle to be influenced by the tradition of men.

Your Responsibility as a Parent
Parents must lay a firm and solid foundation for their children by;
1. Praying for them during Pregnancy
2. Scriptures should be read to the children
3. Parent can give their children names after great Bible characters e.g. Evangelist, Prayer Worrior, and Pastor.
4. Pictures of bible characters and their virtue can be placed in strategic places in the house
5. Parent should lead an exemplary life
6. Parent should endeavor to lead each child to Christ

What is Expected of Parent to teach their Children
Parent should teach their children righteous living in this polluted and wretched world. Children must be thought not to mingle themselves with the affairs of this world as such could incur God’s judgment and eternal perdition in the lake of fire.
Children need a lot of love, care and attention. Children are very inquisitive, they want to know, it is best of us as parent to proffer answers to their question, counsel and guide rather than burying ourselves into our jobs, television programmes or other thing.
Good books and pictures, good music, calendars with Christian’s pictures should fill our home to guide the child.
