    HOW TO DEVELOP

    FAITH IN CHILDREN?
    Key Text:
    “Teach children how
    they should live, and
    they will remember it
    all their life.”
    Proverbs 22:6 NIV
    “Start children on the
    right road, and even in
    old age he will not leave
    it.”
    (Proverbs 22:6) TNEB
    “Train up a child in the
    way he should go: and
    when he is old, he will
    not depart from it.”
    Pro.22:6 NKJV
    Theme:

    Faith in God is the most important value


    we can pass along to our children.
    Faith in the Lord . It
    undergirds all the other
    values. Without it, values
    lack meaning and substance.

    Give our best effort to


    guiding our children toward
    faith in God.
    PARENTS BE CAREFUL OF
    DESIGNING THE ATMOSPHERE
    OF YOUR HOME

    • Children absorb the atmosphere


    around them. Make your home
    spiritual and faith-oriented.
    • Ask yourself:
    1. What music is played in your home? Will angels delight to
    hear it?
    2. What magazines and books are found in your book shelves?
    Will they lead your children to love Jesus more?
    3. What kind of food is served on your table? Are they healthy to
    the mind and the body? Will they not excite the nerves of your
    children making them irritable and impatient?
    4. What pictures are displayed in your children’s rooms?
    Will those pictures serve as their model to become God-
    fearing disciples of Christ?
    5. What conversation is heard on your table? Does your
    conversation uplift and ennoble the thoughts of those who
    hear? Does it make your children see how wondrous the
    love of God is?
    6. What are the things you spend your money on?
    PRAY FOR YOUR CHILDREN
    EVERYDAY.

    • Parents gather your children around you


    before you send them out to confront the
    world each morning. Do the same in the
    evening as you thank God for His protection
    and blessing.
    • Children must be conversed with God all
    day.
    SHARE YOUR PERSONAL FAITH
    EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR CHILDREN

    • Parents your own model speaks loudest


    to your children.

    • Parents be careful to demonstrate your


    faith towards your children.
    BE OPEN TO TALKING ABOUT FAITH AND
    GOD WITH YOUR CHILDREN AND DISCUSS
    THEIR QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS

    • Talk openly and freely about God. Listen


    carefully for your child’s needs and unspoken
    questions. Respond with love and concern, not
    criticism.
    During Sabbath day:
    Make going to church an attractive activity. Fathers and mothers,
    plan your Sabbaths so that your children will look forward to this
    day with excitement. Prepare your children’s clothes set aside for
    Sabbath only, plan a special dish served on Sabbaths only, and be
    careful in observing the Sabbath hours, make Sabbath preparation
    a family event.
    HELP YOUR CHILD DEVELOP A
    GROWING PERSONAL FAITH
    CONNECTION WITH GOD
    FIND A SUPPORT SYSTEM TO HELP
    YOU DEVELOP YOUR CHILD’S FAITH

    • The work of developing the faith of a child is not the


    work of the parents alone. The parents need the support
    of a spiritually-alive church and a faith-building school.
    Children and young people look for other persons who
    can become their models and heroes of faith, persons
    who show how faith looks like in real life.
    Corinthians 13:13

    “Meanwhile these three


    remain: faith, hope, and love;
    and the greatest of these is
    love.”
    IMPORTANT VALUES WE CAN PASS
    TO OUR CHILDREN

    • Faith in God

    • Hope for eternal life

    • Love of God
    Conclusion:
    The best inheritance you can give your child is FAITH, not
    money, not material possessions, not even good social
    standing. It is FAITH that will carry them through the trials
    and temptations of this life and assure us that we will be
    reunited with our most precious treasures, our children, to a
    life of eternity.
