Tuesday, October 12

Fathers, . . . go on bringing [your children] up in the discipline and admonition of Jehovah.—Eph. 6:4.

 

Those who have a measure of authority, such as fathers, have the opportunity to benefit other people. Jehovah has assigned the father as head of the family, and God expects him to train and discipline his children. (1 Cor. 11:3) But a father’s authority is limited—he must answer to Jehovah, the one to whom every family owes its name. (Eph. 3:14, 15) Fathers show their submission to Jehovah by using their authority in a way that pleases God. Do not abuse the authority that Jehovah has given you. Admit your mistakes, and accept Bible-based counsel from others. If you do, your family will respect you for your humility. When praying with your family, pour your heart out to Jehovah—let them hear how much you depend on him. And above all, build your life around your service to Jehovah. (Deut. 6:6-9) Your good example is one of the most valuable gifts that you can give to your family. w19.09 15 ¶8; 17 ¶14; 18 ¶16

Fathers have a big responsibility to set the example for the rest of the family. It's not easy but but showing humility he sets the tone for the rest of the family.

Actions speak louder than words. Children are taught by actions & they will remember it for decades but are more likely to forget what we say. Fathers take the lead in submitting to Jehovah’s standards. They are careful not to abuse their authority but to rely on Jehovah & seek his guidance in earnest prayer, on how to be good examples to the entire family. They are aware that ‘Happy families leads to a Happy & more United Congregation’.

To inculcate is not a one time and forget ,To inculcate” means “to teach and impress by frequent repetitions.” To do so, parents need to spend time regularly with their young ones. It could at times seem frustrating to have to repeat instructions to the children. However, parents can strive to see this as a way to help their children understand God’s Word and apply it.Deut 6:6-9
