Intentional Child Rearing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798889433811)

Intentional Child-Rearing is a book focused on the importance of raising a generation of godly children and the generations within each. We cannot wait to pour into our children when we think they are old enough to understand. It has to start in the womb. According to Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV), God knew us and ordained us at this early stage of life as prophets. Failure to start early and raise a godly seed in the home has caused much rebuttal and regret for our local communities, states, nation as well as the world. We are now leaving the raising of children to grandparents, detention centers, schools, and other entities. Although it takes a village to raise a child, the village starts first at home. When we refuse to train children early and raise them in God's admonition, the adversary takes advantage of the time lost.

Generational curses are at an all-time high with many not realizing what they are experiencing. The enemy of our soul is after the seed and the seed's seed. Infiltrating them while they are young is on his mind and is an infringement upon God's copyright. God always intended for children to be loved and led by fathers and raised by godly mothers in the home from generation to generation.

Intentional Child-Rearing is about starting early in making it a priority in raising our children. It has to be at the forefront of our lives. It can't be an afterthought. It has to come before our jobs or social life. The Bible clearly states to teach them when we are home, when we lay down, and when we rise up (Deuteronomy 6:7 KJV). This means pouring into and training our children constantly. It's time and effort. There will never be a dull moment for a parent or guardian when we do it in the early stages of a child's life as required by God. Yes, it will take stamina, and we will have to stick with it until Christ is formed in them no matter what age. But this is what it means by intentional child-rearing!
