Children that are not trained in the way of the Lord can make God cancel or put an end to His covenant for such a family. After the children of Eli committed evil in the sight of God, the covenant God had with the family was canceled by God as He told them that no one from that family will ever be Priest again.

Children that are not trained in the way of the Lord will be corrupted by the society. The society of nowadays does not see children as young, which are the reasons why young children are defiled and corrupted every day.

It is important for parents to train their children in the way of the Lord right from childhood so they can grow up to become like Daniel that decided not to defile himself with the King’s meat and was used mightily by God during his days. Parents must see this as a responsibility because they will give account for the children the Lord gave them.
