KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 3:4 KJV” One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity.”

​

Pastors .must rule their homes well. As Christians, we know that there are beings which are unseen, whose agenda is to rule the human heart and to direct  their lives in the way they desire. Joh 13:27 KJV “And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.” In this instant, Satan, that fallen angel, entered into Judas, a disciple of Jesus, to betray Him. Demons are manipulating many lives to become unruly. Sadly, parents think they are dealing with a bad character , but no, you are dealing with a ruling spirit in the life of that boy or girl. Eph 2:2 KJV “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”Pastors and parents, there is a serious contention for the souls of your children. The bible commands you to rule them  rightly.

​

How do we win over these devils?

1.Pray diligently for them. Gal 4:19 KJV” My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,” You need to fight for their souls on your knees. As much as you may be interceding for others, remember that your first responsibility is your home. Whatever you do outside  would not mean much if your home is torn apart

​

2 Teach them the word of God. Many pastors are never around to instruct their children in the word of God. Children have  a special attachment to their parents and would take whatever they teach them, backed by a genuine love for them.

​

The next is a very important aspect, and that is, never curse your  son or daughter because of their wrong actions. I remember each time my boy does something bad that really gets me angry, I would ask him to kneel down while I pray for him. My emotions would be craving for some very harsh words to be said about him. I would rather declare that this negative lifestyle cannot continue with you. You are a very good boy, and you will continue to do good things. After these words, I would. Then, proclaim words of blessings over his life.

Thank God he has grown into a very responsible  young man and is doing so well. Your  words would either allow the spirit of Christ to reign over him or give access to a demon to take over and make him unruly.

​

The scriptures teach that we should not provoke our children. Eph 6:4 KJV And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. To provoke means to incite them to rebel. When a father expresses bitterness against his child, using words like ” I hate you and you would never amount to anything good in life. Such words are provocative and would create a sense of anger and defence in this child. He or she would respond with a similar attitude, and by this, you would have completely lost control of your child. The answer to keeping them under your control is to  show the true love of God to them. Love in your heart is always infectious and would stir a corresponding love and submission from them.
