A godparent is an individual who vows to raise a child in the religion of the parent(s), if something were to happen to them and they died. A godparent can override the wishes of grandparents in spiritual matters only.

Is the will of parents is the will of god?

The Bible teaches believers to honor their parents, and many Scriptures point to the importance of children being obedient to parents. But that is not the same as identifying the will of the parents with the will of God. When a child becomes an adult, the parents are no longer responsible for that person's moral choices, and each adult must seek out God's will for her or himself. Furthermore, parents who are abusive or cause their children to do things that are clearly sinful cannot be said to be acting in the will of God.
