TOPIC: THINGS GOD-FEARING PARENTS DESIRE FOR THEIR CHILDREN
TEXT: PROVERBS 23:24-25

THURSDAY AUGUST 10TH

Key verse: Proverbs 27: 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me 
Parents instruct their children to live godly so that they can be happy. Christian parents preach to their children to submit their lives to Jesus so that they also will be holy, happy and inherit the kingdom of God in the end. When you are a good child, you make them happy. You may be the only child but how awful it is if you are an armed robber. But imagine if the only child is godly: humble, respectful, and well behaved, you will be more to your parents than 10 children, just like John the Baptist. Parents rejoice when they have good children. On the other hand, parents of bad children suffer reproach from people in their neighborhood, schools, and the church. People laugh and sneer at them. Your mother is in continuous sorrow and bitterness because of your contemptuous lifestyle. 
With this attitude, many parents plead seriously with their children not to come around when they have visitors. Their dresses are evil and ungodly and show insanity, nakedness, and indecency which plague their parents and shame them. Hence, they pray that their children should be saved and delivered from an irresponsible lifestyle that brings reproach to them. Wearing short gowns, skirts, tight-fitting dresses, ungodly hairdos, bleaching, funny haircut, exposing your buttocks, wearing torn dresses, etcetera. are activities that bring shame to godly parents. Therefore, be a good boy and a good girl. Do not allow evil reports about you to enter the ears of your parents for what you have shamelessly done in the school or society. Change your attitude so that your parents can have what to say to their accusers if they try to reproach them. Jesus also is calling you to come and follow His lifestyle.
God will bless your parents and your family if you cooperate with your parents to live a godly and holy life. The word of God to you then is, to give yourself to a life of truth, righteousness, and holiness. Be godly and pursue wisdom. Be clothed with Jesus all the days of your life. Repent and change the testimony of your life in the family, society, and church. Make up your mind and change.

Thought for the day: Be clothed with Jesus all the days of your life.  

Song for the day: Jesus loves me, He died for me…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 88-89; Romans 10

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
