Train Your Children Because They're Your Tomorrow – Pastor Adeboye Urges Parents


The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has called on parents to train their children by instilling godly virtues in them, warning that neglecting proper upbringing could jeopardise the future of their children.

Pastor Adeboye, who clocked 83 today, March 2, in a sermon titled “Greater Tomorrow,” which was broadcast from the church’s national headquarters in Ebute-Metta to all RCCG parishes, called on parents to take their responsibilities seriously by ensuring that they train their children.

“Parents, train your children because they are your tomorrow. The Yoruba say a child you fail to train will sell the house you are building. Train them in the way of the Lord; don’t let them do whatever they like. If you don’t train them, you are destroying your future,” he emphasised.

He cited Abraham in the Bible as an example, noting that God blessed Abraham and his descendants because He trusted him to raise his children in godliness. Pastor Adeboye warned that allowing children to go astray could lead to ruin, urging parents to be firm in their faith.

Speaking to young people, he emphasised the importance of obedience, honour, and humility: “You are not only to obey your parents but also to honour them. It is in honouring them that you secure your future and live long. Don’t ever think you know more than your parents.”

The revered cleric also encouraged his listeners to embrace hard work, humility, and submission to God, cautioning against pride. “Pride is a killer. God resists the proud. If you want a future, submit to God, and He will ensure no one tampers with your destiny,” he declared.

Following his sermon, Pastor Oladele Balogun, Special Assistant to the General Overseer (SATGO) Admin and Pastor in Charge of Region 1, led a special prayer session for Pastor Adeboye, asking for strength, grace, and divine guidance for the years ahead.
