INTRODUCTION

1.0     BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

In any generation God always use man to do His work here on earth, especially when raising Godly children.  All parents long to give their children the best education and make them comfortable.  This is good but we must know that teaching our children the godly principles, and precepts of God’s words, is not optional it is a commandment and a task given to the families (home) church and the society nor world governments.  For us to raised a godly children the love of God (Christ) it must be the foundation of the atmosphere of every Christian home. The Christian home is asked to be Christian in reality and not just name when children recognized the love in the home and can trace that love to Jesus, it will go a long ways verify their spiritual development and their relationship with God.

1.1     Statement of the Problem

In our research, we have discovered that one of the greatest problem in Raising Godly Children have to do with the issue of growth which is synonymous with modern day Christianity.  Many Christian parents without root or proper foundation in raising their children in God’s ways.  We as Godly parents must not raise half-baked Christians children.  Hence there is serious need to help our children to grow in Christ.

Our children today are faced with the problems of growth and how to stand when faced with temptation because they are not rooted in the word of God.  To day children are part of a troubled generation.

The problem of broken home are universal phenomenal which affect both developed as well as the underdeveloped country.  Hemm (1970) broken home means a heroic in which the parent are separated or divorced or are no more by either as a result of death.  Children from such home lack proper care and security.  The suffering of such children could be seen in different dimension.  And hence, there are frustrated and psychologically disturbed, when they are in classroom or in church as a result, the children will be passing through same physical, spiritual emotional, intellectual and social problem and if the problem are not handled on time, it could degenerate into other problems – such as depression, feeling of rejection, bitterness, distrust.

These are strong walls that can affect a child relationship with God.

However, they are the leader of tomorrow, so they need to be raised in Godly ways.
