Hello π everyone, welcome to our interesting topic CHILD’s RIGHTS.
The United Nation describes a child as human beings below eighteen (18) years and a child must have the same rights for freedom, freedom of speech/expression, basic education, shelter, health etc. But as Christians, we are all the children of the Most High and we have inherent talents, and our rights differs from this world. Our rights is based on the Word of God and the teaching of Christ Jesus.
There are so many benefits in teaching the children how to serve God wholeheartedly and letting them know that their our services to their neighbors/mates/peers must reflect on their true characters because they are to love their mates/peers as they love themselves. Teaching them on these things will help them do better and live in a better world, though the world is divided and love is no longer love nor affection, rather it becomes a hostile/battle ground.
But it doesn’t matter how the world look like, God’s children have the rights to flourish wherever they are planted, it’s not negotiable, because Christ foretold it, that in Him, we shall have peace but in the world, there’s tribulations.
Building a safe world for the children, the society should be void of greed, jealousy, manipulation, insecurity, kidnapping, fraud, bribery etc... it’s true that children are gifts from God, and to make this world a better place for them, we must emulate peace, love, mercy, kindness, charity, joy etc.
Below are some familiar quotes:
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.
Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, ‘Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. ‘Honor your father and mother.’ This is the first commandment with a promise: If you honor your father and mother, ‘Things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.
Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad.
I tell you the truth, ‘Anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.’ Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.
And so I am sure confident that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it on until it is finished on the Day of Christ Jesus.
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
