Please read 2 Peter 1.

Meditate on verse 3.
Seeing that His divine power has granted
to us everything pertaining to life and Godliness,
through the true knowledge of Him
who called us by His own glory and excellence.
Peter was about to die, and the sheep entrusted to him by the LORD were on his mind. He wrote another letter to remind them of things they already knew. Once he departed this earthly dwelling, Peter did not want the sheep to forget the truth established in them. His letter is eternal Scripture, so you need not forget either.
As you shepherd the flock God has given you, remember that His divine power gives you everything you need to tend them with Godliness. Be like Peter and remind them of the truths of God. Be diligent to make sure they can recall those truths at any time.
Beware it is demonic wisdom that advises you to let children decide for themselves what they will believe about God. It is a lie of Satan that says truth is relative. Truth is according to Godliness, and all of God’s Word is truth (Titus 1:1; Psalm 119:160).
Pray 2 Peter 1:4-8 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, let _______ and me become partakers of Your divine nature.
Help us escape the corruption that is in the world by lust.
May we apply all diligence in our faith.
Supply us with moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance,
Godliness, brotherly kindness, and love.
Let these qualities be increasingly ours,
so we will be neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of You,
LORD Jesus Christ~”
