Whatever you start early in life, bloom into greatness. Starting up your children with poor dressing styles, bad habits, and poor manners, rest assured to have raised a principality.
Correct your home to impact your world. The world starts from your home.
The life in your streets is a typology of the product of your homes. Therefore, you must impact aright for the sake of this dying world.
CERTAIN alien practices are subtly warming their way into our normal life, practices we once consider a taboo to be seen or heard in the congregation of the righteous, like wearing multiple earrings, wearing anklets, rings on nipples, navels, and other sensitive areas as many women do today.
This misnomer can be linked to a lack of self-control, a knack to belong with the crowd of a few misalignment in thoughts.
The male counterparts in this weirdo thought pattern, plait their hairs, bore holes in their ears and put on earrings like guys. Some choose to say. This is a practice that was commonly found with prison inmates.
The prisons used to sew uniforms for inmates. Of course, they don’t take measurements for sizes. The prisons uniforms are already made, sewn and presented to inmates as they come into the prison yards – some are lucky, the uniforms will fit in, and some are not lucky enough, they are presented with oversized or undersized uniforms.
Sagging is the case where a pair of trousers is slightly bigger than the person wearing it and so in slips down to the tips of their bums in an almost falling off position, held by the tip of the butts.
Hip hop musicians brought it up in their music while expressing in their songs the prison like because hip hop musicians at some point became wild and abusive, forming gangs to fight each other in a lyrical war. For instance, you may remember those of them who became too wild and feared because of how dangerous they turned out in the music industry. Like: Tupac Shakur, Notorious BIG, and a host of others.
I’m not too sure, how true this might be. But I feel strongly that it was in the days of Tupac Shakur, Notorious BIG’s reign that most of this gay-like dressings was promoted so that their array of fan clubs began to borrow into the dressing lifestyle and spreading it as time goes, it has warmed in strongly and seemed to be enjoying wide support.
So, aberration is a word that seems to have been overlooked. An array of outright ugly punkish trends (attitudes) that some of us have bought into, copied from seemingly a wide-unguided world in the name of fashion trends.
In a bid to be different, to be unique, appear exceptional, and be a pacesetter, especially in a world where everyone people are crossing the red-mark, trying to make a mark and leave a name on the sands of time – negatively or positively, it does not matter – just do something, weird but unique. So, some people have left the ways of sensibility, push away shame, and reasoning, and set aside that class of beauty that comes with modesty.
Sadly, they will not practice this by themselves, they would recruit, initiate, and teach this same negative flow to their children. It is unimaginable what will become of these little children when they’re grown and fully mature, having been recruited into the world of prostitution too early.
In case you don’t know, most if not all, the women who were involved with such dressing style were regarded as prostitutes – they were given to dating different rich men. And of course, that she looks lavished, extravagantly rich and spoilt with lots of goodies when you already know where she comes from – family’s financial position.
As much as I don’t intend to sound like someone from Ancient times, I need for us to know that certain cultures should not be mentioned in the camp of good, modeled, and right-thinking people, let alone, cultivating them at all, because they do not represent an examplary life that is worthy of emulation.
A punk lifestyle is not a life to desire, let alone teach it to little children. The devil is on a rampage, recruiting candidates to relish hell with him and the strategy engaged is to catch them young, while still in their prime when their minds are still young, virgin, and very impressionable.
Train Up A Child:
Cognizant of the trends around our world, today, it’s easy to imagine where and how this little girl might end up. And I know for sure that it might end tragically for that family having baited the girl in such a direction too early in life.
Some of the habits that destroy the behavior and future of children is that parents over indulge their children. When a child misbehaves and instead of the parents to correct the child, some parents will make excuses for the child, “He is just a child, he does not know or understand what he is doing.” “No, don’t take her very serious. That’s not how she is, she is a sweet child. She is just passing through a phase of life!”
Many parents make unnecessary excuses for their child’s misbehavior. Yes, continuous and over pampering can have influence on your child’s character. Many over pampered children often grow up to be as arrogant, dependent and poor decision makers in life.
He will change, she’s in a bad mood today that’s why she’s acting up – just give her sometime and you will see that she’s truly a wonderful child, fun to be with – well done parents!
As you continue to pamper the incompetence and arrogance of your child in the guise of love, just wait, you will be the one to cry tomorrow.
The biblical proverb, “Train up a child in the way he should go” means that parents should be quick to recognize the talents, interests, and special characteristics of each child and adapt their educational approach accordingly. Children are foolish, they act like they know what they are doing but no, they don’t. A child is heading into danger but is head-hardy and bent on going in that direction and if you insist on helping to put him or her right, they tell you don’t know what you’re doing. And some parents will readily just give up thinking the child knows what is good for him or herself only to hit rock-bottom and coming back to start over.
As You Lay You Bed:
Children are a precious gift to parents, do you see the bundle of joy that fills every family when a child is born into such home? Many marriages scatter a short while after the couple just got wedded because there is no child-birth, the wife gets into trouble with her inlaws for not bringing forth children.
So, children are a great blessings to every family. But giving birth to children is not just the issue here but the ability to raise great people of of your children. Every parent is happy when their children become role models to others in the neighborhood. Therefore, proper grooming and raising up a good generation of children is important to building up a beautiful and healthy society.
The family is but a little microcosm of the bigger society. Every form of grooming starts from the home, parent and child relationship, how often do you relate with your words? What do you discuss whenever you’re with them? How much you do your children represent? How would it feel if your children exhibit your kind of character?
But I feel it is wise to not teach your children your lifestyle but give them God. Here are a few tips on how to demonstrate the gospel as a parent and raise your children in a godly way:
- Talk About How Much God Loves Them: Teaching children’s family bonds is important but not good enough to help with the outer world, the world outside your home. Human love only flows between blood line. But God’s love is more expensive and expressive because it goes beyond the boundaries of family and bloodline.
- Teach the Concept of Right and Wrong: God’s love is predicted on right and wrong. As humans, we have been created with a willpower of our own, we are free moral agents. Our maker having made us in His image and likeness, He put in us the power and will to choose our paths. Because He made us as gods, He does not force His will on us that’s why He presents us with options to decide for ourselves what we want out of our own lives but says, “This, if you will do – is right. But that, if you do is wrong and will destroy you.” But choose life (right) that you will live.
- Parent with Unconditional Love: Parents should not have attachment, they should not attach their love for their children to anything. Like God loves us, so, we should love our own children. Many parents have favorites among their children. They love this child because he or she brings money home, money they’re not asking how he or she got it. Many children have been turned into prostitutes and armed robbers by their own parents.
- Talk About How Sin Affects Relationships: The first thing that comes into mind, where sin is mentioned is stealing, prostitution, murder or the other aspects of evil. The gosple is presented to us in “right and wrong.” The Scripture says, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” – James 4:17.
- Create a Culture of Forgiveness: Everyone of us is prone to sin and offense because we are not perfect, certain bad elements about us will show forth from time to time and the ability to understand that will help us bear with one another where we offend each other, “To err is human but to forgive is divine.” The phrase isn’t biblical but has biblical roots. Ephesians 4:32 is the taproot of the axiom. Paul writes, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Human beings commit wrongs, make mistakes, and sin against one another. God forgives us, and we are acting like him when we forgive.
Folks, God desire for all Christians to raise Godly children who would showcase His Excellency in the world. Scripture says that the world awaits the earnest manifestations of the sons and daughters of God.
Where are the sons and daughters? What are you doing with the generation of children you’re birthing? How are you raising them?
We have made so much noise, it’s high time we began to manifest out sonship.
God bless, you!
