Prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ. It is
not only stating the future, but also teaching and explaining by example
the meaning of God's Word.
A mother has the privilege and honor of daily
teaching her children about God from the time they are born until they
become adults and leave home. (At times, even after leaving home, a wise
mother's counsel will be remembered and sought by her children.) Teaching
and explaining must be in words and actions.
A mother must know the scripture in order to teach
it and live it. God must be real in the mother's life in order for the
child to see the importance of making a decision for Christ. Children who
are taught from infanthood about Jesus tend to be saved at much earlier
ages than those children who hear about God occasionally.
A Proverbs 31 woman recognizes the responsibility
and spends time with God daily through prayer and Bible study in order
that she may be a wise teacher and a Godly example for her children.
In addition, she is willing to take the extra time
to share God with her children. She makes time to read and discuss the
Bible with them daily.
The Proverbs 31 woman teaches her children the
importance of prayer by praying with them daily.
By emphasizing that time with God is a
priority---the Proverbs 31 woman is preparing her children to be mighty
men and women of God.
