I thought of becoming a father someday and raising up children, definitely in a Godly way. But I want to do more, I don't want to repeat the regular trend of just reading a Bible story for them, telling them about how Elijah called down fire without me being able to demonstrate that power or telling them of the wedding in Cana where Jesus turned water to wine and there I am expressing the power of what I belief and unable to out them in action.
I don't want to tell them "As you go to school, forgive those who offense you or give to the needy" , No, I want to teach them a Godly life by example and not just by words. I want to show them it's possible that the God I believe in can heal the sick by simply believing. I don't want my children to just sing songs, but be able to sing songs in the spirit. For the children God give unto me are for signs and wonder.

It's enough of the usual trend of men who speaks in words and lacks in action. Men who can not confidently boast of the transformation men go through being in Christ. No wonder, many children grow up and become just a normal worshipper,no eagerness to learn the ways of God or the ways of the spirit.
Raising such Family doesn't just happen, where children are burning for God and zealous to learn more of God, it takes an exemplary life of the head or leader they follow. It requires an evidence beyond doubt that God is still thesame and can use men to do the extraordinary like the days of the old.
But First, It depends on what we do today and our desire to build a Godly home. It depends on how well we give ourselves to be used by God and how much we seek Him today. I pray God put His zeal in Us , and gives us the desire to raise a Home when God is experience not just on words but also in action.
That's my goal
And that's my dream
