N-NEARST PART 9; A NEAREST PARENT BRINGS HER CHILDREN TOGETHER.

Welcome to February! It was amazing how impactful the last month’s teachings were, and the feedback gotten is so encouraging, knowing fully that the hand of God is stretched out in a new dimension to put parents into a better perspective of their roles and how best they can be played out.

As a parent, you have a supervisory role to play over the destiny of your child, and as a supervisor, you will have to be watchful. Jochebed did not just drop her son by the riverside; she put a structure in place for his supervision. Likewise, you have to be deliberate in putting a structure in place that monitors and supervises your child’s activities even when you are not proximal to them. 

Indeed, parenting is sacrificial and requires a high level of commitment, and patience is one of the high costs of parenting.

When you can be the first to teach your child what he or she should know, our text today says it will be difficult for such a child to depart from it, and this was seen in the relationship of Jochebed and Moses, despite the fact that Moses only lived with her for a few times, yet she learnt a lot to the extent that he could literally identify with the suffering of his real people

Monitoring is a systematic process of observing and reviewing the progress or quality of a task’s performance over a period of time. Parenting is an area of discipline that requires consistent monitoring. Hence, a parent needs to be observant and faithful to pay close attention to changes in his or her child.
