SEVEN STEPS ON HOW TO RAISE A WISE CHILD IN A CORRUPT WORLD 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Psalms 112:2 "His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed."

Isaiah 49:25

 " But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children."

  The will of God is for the righteous to leave a legacy of a generation of persons rich in divine influence and affluence. The devil knows this and seeks to destroy our children through negative influence through a corrupted educational system , unhealthy entertainment, dysfunctional family system , misleading media and bad governance. 

   Raising a wise child in a corrupt world requires intentionality, guidance, and a strong moral foundation rooted in biblical principles. Here are seven steps to help parents navigate this challenging task:

1. **Teach the Fear of the Lord**: Proverbs 9:10 says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Instill in your child a reverence for God, which is the cornerstone of wisdom.

2. **Model Godly Behaviour**: Children learn by example. Proverbs 22:6 encourages, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Live out your faith daily.

3. **Instill Love for Scripture**: Deuteronomy 6:6-7 instructs, "These commandments...are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children." Teach them to cherish and apply God's Word.

4. **Cultivate Discernment**: Philippians 1:9-10 urges, "That your love may abound...in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best." Help your child develop the ability to make wise decisions.

5. **Encourage Prayer**: James 1:5 reminds us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God." Teach your child to seek wisdom through prayer.

6. **Promote Integrity**: Proverbs 10:9 says, "Whoever walks in integrity walks securely." Guide your child to be honest and upright.

7. **Equip Them to Resist Temptation**: 1 Corinthians 10:13 assures, "God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear." Help your child understand and resist the corrupting influences of the world.

By following these biblical steps, parents can raise children who are not only wise but also strong in their faith, equipped to navigate the challenges of a corrupt world.

 In our daily prayers seek for wisdom to raise our children and protection from bad influence. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to make a positive difference always .
