TRAIN UP A CHILD PT4: Prophetic Ways To Discipline A Child: "Sparing the rod" in that sense, means that a parent must guide his or her child and teach the child right from wrong; it’s as simple as that. In prophetic reality, nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus tell parents to use corporal punishment as panacea for correcting or training a child. Spanking is not discipline; it does not teach a child how to be a better person.

Ø TALK NOT SPANK: If you must spank, talk first, do 90% talking, 5% body communication or language, then 5% spank must be the last thing. Talk to them often and talk with them at every point they miss it. Don’t attempt to overlook their mistakes and never be too tired or discouraged to come to their aids when they need you. 

Ø GO SPIRITUAL: Pray, pray with them and pray about everything, pray and be a prayerful parent because also they will emulate. They imitate you more than you try to educate them. This must be a non-negotiable culture, day, noon and night, breakfast, lunch and dinner with Biblical references to everything which makes engagements intentional.

Ø   HEALTH & HYGIENE: please, have a zero tolerant policy towards their health and hygiene; this to you should be EVERYTHING. Beginning with you. You have to take the lead and ensure you provide a clean-clean environment, everywhere and everything must be sparkling clean for them to dwell in. Secondly, make handwashing habits for them, even before they eat anything and at all time. Thirdly, ensure they drink the very best of bottle water or clean water dispenser. I insist my royals drink Nestle Zinc. alternatively C-Way bottle water full stop. The best way to keep them sick free are; clean environment, safe and clean water, home made food in the most clean environment and watching over them closely.

Ø   GETTING A SCHOOL? Go to God in prayers before getting a school for them and same approach must apply when choosing your clinic or medics. I am also aware you have the financial resources and can afford any worth of education for your child, but sort it out with God by prayers. Do not assume the availability of money can make the best education available, that can be the trick of the enemy, you must take prophetic responsibility to pray, brood over schools, research and source information as to the spiritual foundations and belief of the school. This is being prophetic and not religious. Be passionately spiritual about this realities and the Lord will bless your efforts towards raising them up in Jesus name Amen.

Ø  BE SENSITIVE: Remember you are raising a small adult; don’t underrate this reality. When Jesus said to her parent, “Don’t you know I must be about my Father’s business”? This is the case with many parents, even when their child is grown, most cannot read the lines. You must have a future consciousness of your child as a parent.

Ø   COACH/MODEL THEM YOURSELF: Always remember they are relying on you: never ever shift the responsibility to anyone else, don’t ever do it, and don’t do it. Be their very best coach, be their mentor and role model until they become one to many.

Ø  LET THEM OPEN UP: Encourage questions and engage them in prophetic conversations. Neriah will always have a question to ask and in at least every hour and I awlays look forward to her questions whether or not they make sense. A child becomes better mentally and evolves to creative and constructive think tank when you encourage questions and productive and educative discussions. There must be Biblical response and approach to the barrage of questions their peers throw at them. You have to be prophetic to prepare them for real task ahead. So, if you lack what it takes, go get equipped is what I am saying here, Train Up! This is never going to be the school’s job, nor the children teacher in your Church, not their grandma or grandpa, no and no again, not anyone else, but you. If you are trained down, the child shouldn’t be trained down with you also, that will be the greatest abuse of grace as a parent. School or society must not be the ones to teach your child Evolution, Sexual Ethics, Naturalism, Pluralism, Atheism etc. Be the discipline maker, make them your disciples, be the lead teacher and educator, do not give to the Church even, do it and give them back to teach the Church and the world the prophetic cultures.
