Parenting A Huge Responsibility



We are all God's children! God created the first man in Genesis 2:7 from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of Life and man became a living soul. Or in other words,  the first man's DNA is actually the dust of this earth and God's breath of life. Life here is none other than the Life in John 14:6-Jesus Christ Himself! So we in the state of a living human being (our DNA), are part of this earth and part of Christ. Thus explaining the fact that even though this earth did not commit any sin,  it was cursed because of mankind's disobedience clearly stated in Genesis 3:17-19-even though Jesus Christ never commited any sin,  he had to take on the wages of mankind's sin on our behalf all because we are part of Him: He even told the first man and woman in metaphor in Genesis 3:15! This clearly explains why Christ had to come,  show us the right way (when He is the Way in John 14:6) to eternal life as our perfect example and role model,  and died for us all because we are part of Him, His family,  and His responsibility (created in His Image in Genesis 1:27)!

All children are a blessing from God considering Psalms 127:3! Apart from the fact that all children are a gift and blessing from God to their parents whether biological or adopted,  children are also a responsibility to their parents and guardians! Parents and guardians not only have to take care and raise their children but train them up in the way they should grow considering Proverbs 22:6! Or in other words,  children are a dangerous tool called "Human Resource!" You can train them,  mold them and teach them to become soccer stars,  guitarists, etc... Within this responsibility of parenting,  the middle core of it all is "Disciple making!"

The core responsibility of parenting is disciple making! It is important for parents and guardians to understand that they are not responsible of some tangible or intangible asset,  they are responsible of human beings/ living souls. Therefore, what they input into the child's development is important in determining the child's future in terms of eternal life in John 3:16 or the wages of sin in Romans 6:23! This means that the core or most important part of the parents and guardians responsibility over the child is molding them to become disciples and followers of Jesus Christ! Parents and guardians are to train up and teach their children God's Word to us The Holy Bible!

Therefore,  it is important for us (especially young people who are not married yet and do not have kids yet) to really think critically about the responsibility of parenting before venturing into parenting! Parenting is a huge responsibility and within it,  is the disciple making aspect of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The parents and guardians are not responsible of a tangible or intangible asset but are responsible of another living soul/ living human being. Their responsibility plays a huge role in determining the child's (soul's) salvation from the wages of sin in Romans 6:23!


Finding Your Other Half: Finding The Right Partner



Let's start with a personal testimony of mine. When it comes to romantic relationships,  I totally suck. Back in high school there was this girl from a mix parentage of Madang and Aroma in which I kind of really like or fell in love with the idea of her,  in which I frozed,  panic all inward-outward,  and never got to ask her out,  in which my best friend Nevil John asked her out and ventured into a relationship with,  in which got me heart broken silently while never wanting to fall in love with someone again. This was my weakness which is sort of a disease! Every girl that I really really like,  I always froze up and panic to ask them out. Never really had a girl friend for more than one year. Every girl that I became friends with are basically from those random chemistry reaction in getting to know someone first before being in a relationship with them ever since 2010 upwards... Or basically just passing time with someone so that my friends won't consider me a looser,  in which I felt nothing anchor ed inside. My first friend was from small Buka and is cousin to a senior of mine in Lae City Mission Hostel. I dumped her after months of calling,  texting and passing time,  in which afterwards,  I never really felt anything inside my heart-even up until today,  I still think this was the right thing to do! Furthermore,  I've being doing that to the so called friends I come accross in life simply because I do not feel anything within. I always end up being friends to woman I don't like while finding it hard to be with the ones I really really like from within and outwards. This is the story of my life. Furthermore,  I still am searching for this right partner in which God created her to be my other half,  however if its according to God's perfect will for me to be alone than so be it.



Finding the right partner in a romantic relationship is very important compared to how HR managers initiate the recruitment process of hiring the right new employees for the job vacancies. See,  these job applicants in a recruitment process must have the qualifications and experience meeting the job requirments and specification,  you cannot just hire someone randomly off the streets-the success of your organization in terms of profit or loss will be determined by the people you hire. Metaphorically speaking,  this is similar to finding the right partner for a life time.


What insights into this issue will we find within The Holy Bible? Well firstly lets take a closer look at Genesis 2:21-24 to draw some important lessons out of;
- the woman was created out of the man's rib indicating that she is part of the man,
- Adam upon seeing her concluded that she was created or meant to be with him in verse 23,
-Adam named her woman.
-God Who is Love in 1 John 4:8 is the bridge or connection between the woman and the man since God brought the woman to the man,

On the other hand,  we see Paul's advice in 1 Corinthians 7! According to Paul,  it is better for a man not to get married,  however,  if filled with the desire than so be it. Here Paul is trying to stress the responsibility within the boundage of marriage in which we all must consider very carfully before veturing into it.

To conclude,  not all man and woman are meant to get married according to God's perfect will. People like Paul and even Jesus Christ never got married because the responsibility of their purpose of being in this earth according to God's perfect will was greater than the responsibility of venturing into a romantic relationship and getting married. I mean just imagine what the world would be like if Jesus Christ chose to get married to someone avoiding the cross and His Mission here on earth or if Paul chose to get married avoiding the gospel? See? That's how important God's perfect will is! Even Jesus Christ and Paul had the power of choice back then but chose God's purpose for them or His Perfect will rather than their own.

Like you all,  I do have the power of choice. If its according to God's perfect will,  I don't want to be with anyone else randomly but to be with that woman who God created to be with me. ๐Ÿ‘ŒPhone numbers don't mean anything or don't make me anything-I don't need anyone, I only need the right one who is meant to be created to be! ๐Ÿ’— Furthermore,  like in a HR recruitment process all I could do is scan all the possible friends that pop up my way but would really love to finally come across that someone who is meant for me: someone who loves me not for what I have but for who I am,  someone who is comfortable and can handle my worse but happy in my best,  someone who loves me and faithful to me and no one else apart from God,  etc..,  than I will gladly do the same in loving that person regardless if she is not a good cook,  very lazy,  bossy,  or is a little bit older or younger than me,  etc... On the other hand,  If its not according to God's perfect will for me to be with someone in a romantic relationship than so be it,  because God's perfect will is always the best. I hope you would do the same in choosing God's perfect will rather than your own when it comes to such matters!


Guys,  remember,  "SEX IS MEANT FOR MARRIAGE! FIND THE RIGHT PARTNER FIRST,  GET MARRIED AND HAVE SEX! THE POWER OF CHOICE IS YOURS!"
