God wants godly seed from marriage. The only way for something to be godly is if it is born of God - (Malachi 2:14 - 15(MSG)).

Being  born again is not a change of behavior but a change of heart. If your  children are not transformed in their nature, they cannot behave well  and they will not go to heaven. IF YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT BORN AGAIN,  THEY WILL END UP IN HELL!!!

You may never be the one to lead your  children to Christ but it’s your responsibility to pray for them that  they do and create the right atmosphere for them to know God. Our job as  parents is to put things in place to make it easier for them to receive  Christ.

How do we do this?

1. Choose who you marry wisely - (Genesis 24:1 - 8).

Children  learn more from observations than from instructions. The choices you  make affect your children. One of the question you should ask yourself  when you want to marry is - Do I want to reproduce after this kind?

2. You must parent as a team. Parenting is not a woman’s job - (Genesis 18:19(MSG). Ephesians 6:4(AMPC))

Fathers, train your children. Children get their identity from their Fathers and nurture from their mothers.

3.  Be intentional about raising your children together. Pray with your  children. Let them be used to see spiritual things in the home.

4. Start Early.

Train  up a child, not an adult. You teach your children spiritual principles  from when they are young. Make it practical so they can remember. Take  time and invest in teaching your children the Word.

5. Think Legacy

It is your responsibility to make sure your children are saved and preserved - (Genesis 6:18).

We  have to make sure that the legacy of being Christians remain by passing  it on to our children. As a parent, do not drop the baton. God is  counting on you to preserve this generation so they can preserve the  next. How do you prevent a generation that doesn’t know God from  existing?

By impressing them on your children. Whatever you do, every opportunity you get, put Christ in it - (Deuteronomy 6:1-7).

Never use church as a punishment tool. Never use their love of God to blackmail them especially parents of teenagers.
