You see unlike many other things parents infuse into a child, this Christian faith is different,

I know you are telling yourself "Temi, just answer the question". Wait, I will answer it. https://twitter.com/madebycharles/status/1266193193974013952

It's a matter of life and death.
As believers, we pray&prophesy
Praying for many things e.g Job, relationship

I know I pray for my friend's job and relationship. When they get a new job, I don't go asking "Hope you are planning your exit already" Just in case o

Or when my friend enters into a new relationship.
I go "Watch out ooo, Plan well in case there is a breakup"

Why, Because I think it's an unnecessary question. Not because I don't think the possibility is there but because I know they will handle it appropriately if it shows up.

Same way, I am not going to ask how do I make my child "thrive" when they don't believe.
You know what God did to prepare us for any decision we will make. He gave us his Spirit to guide us.
His Spirit changes us & produces His fruit in us.

So to a Christian, the reaction you'll have towards your kids on any subject is not any diff from how you handle diff opinions with people now. How you forgive people.

What you don't get is- A believer's heart is changed, Our way is Love and it should reflect in all situation

@madebycharles How are you preparing yourself to answer their questions? What are you reading, watching etc

But aren’t you concerned about them not coming to know Christ? Won’t you still do anything in God’s power through us, to see them come to the knowledge of Christ?

How often do you pray for them. If you pray for your kids, You would have less room to think about them thriving in other beliefs. Plus, What does thriving mean to you?
Living well here, being successful here? But with an eternity that is doomed.. That's what you call thriving?

No, they are not thriving. My heart will be racing every single time knowing that the Lord can come at any moment & that will be it.
What is thriving in that? What is safe about leaving the safety of Christ?

Like Jesus still loved in his persecution, Love remains my response

I think, to let someone thrive isn’t to let them “pray and practice what they believe in your house/under your roof”. It is to let them GROW, DEVELOP AND PROSPER IN IT. I cannot see a Muslim sister or brother today and let them “prosper in unbelief”.

It’ll be my life’s mission to have them come to know Christ, in prayer and evangelism. How much more my own child? Whom I so dearly (will) love?

When you see no option to a situation, you'll handle the one you've delicately

I can tell how you will act to a situation by how you react today.The Pharisees said they won't be like their fathers but Jesus said they will act the same way&they proved him right by crucifying him

Do you have Muslim friends around you? As friends, colleagues, neighbours, roommates?
How do you treat them?
Well, I have Muslim/JW family members...
Do you hold their mats or hijabs when they decide to “pray”? Do you treat them scornfully?

But most importantly, Do you labour in prayer for them. Do they know where you really stand? Have you shared the gospel with them before? Do they know where you really stand or they just see you as the type of Christian that can pass as "I was born in a Christian home"

How much does the gospel mean to you? How much do we believe in THE POWER IN THE GOSPEL to change lives? And let’s not act like we can’t navigate the course of our children’s destiny in the place of prayer. Prayer changes things/people. Let’s not entertain doom before it comes.

what my Muslim friends know is that Temi stands for Christ. What they can't say is that I will push them out of my house or be less caring if they want to pray in it.

For my children; My Children's life plays out by prophecy. They are for the Lord and like Timothy, they will stand for Christ.

But to answer your question; It will be very clear where i stand. Very clear...They will definitely know they are doing is something against our will

But will i despise them? Do I despite my Muslim friends now or my JW colleagues?
Will I chase them out if they want to pray: Will chasing them out stop them from praying?
Are we “harsh” towards Muslim? Should we be?
The bible is clear on what the believer's character should be

Just to mention, We think Christianity is the reason people can't choose.
If we will be sincere, Christianity is the reason anyone has a choice because it gives freedom of choice.

How much does the faith mean to you

This is my last response to this. Thanks
