Mentoring families for spiritual growth in a quest to end family violence, infidelity and divorce

Abstract

The fall of humanity negatively affected the relationship between God and Human beings. Isaiah 59:2 states that iniquities separate people from God and sins hid the face of God that He does not hear. There is a need therefore, to restore the relationship between God and people in order for life to be what God intended when he created man. Careful and incessant attention should be given to spiritual aspect of a person, which should result into a better relationship with the Creator. To have spiritual growth that will finally end into glorification, a positive relationship with God should be built. This may well be done in a family setting; because a family remains an important institution in the entire human history. Though important a family is, it is difficult to have a precise definition for the word family because it has many meanings depending on how it is used and the purpose for using it. Nevertheless, three elements are common when describing a family. These are marriage, parenthood and residence. In this article, the word family refers to a group of people who live together in a household due to marriage and parenthood. It is in this setting where mentorship should begin. In a family circle, effective mentors, who are dispensers of know-how are well placed in an age where morality has gone down and media has become the order of the day. Through family mentorship for spiritual growth, foundational values, for character development would be encouraged. These values are honesty, respect, kindness, empathy, and responsibility. The values can easily be promoted through family worship, Bible studies, prayer meetings and the involvement of the Holy Spirit in one’s daily life. In turn, positive relationships among family members would be the result that would end family violence, infidelity and divorce. Mentoring families for spiritual growth will also restore broken relationships. The goal of mentoring families for the spiritual growth is to have peaceful families that are waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ.
