LEAD YOUR CHILDREN ON THE PATH OF TRUTH

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED. 

DATE: WEDNESDAY 4th AUGUST

TOPIC: LEAD YOUR CHILDREN ON THE PATH OF TRUTH

TEXT:   2 John 1-4

Key verse: Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he
 is old, he will not depart from it. 
 
Be truthful to your children and lead them on the path of truth. Do not teach them lies. “Johnny, that man that is coming over there is coming to disturb me. When he comes and asks of me, tell him I am not around. Did you hear me?” The boy answers, “Okay daddy.” 

The man came and asked, “Is your daddy at home?” The boy replied, “My daddy said I should tell you he is not around.” Very simple! You know when they are growing up they have the understanding of truth. Brush and improve the quality of the truth they have and let them grow in that way. 

Do not turn them into liars. Do not train them to lie. Take note of the things you are saying concerning other people in the presence of your children. Your child will say so about others. 

A man of God came to the house of a sister and the woman gave the man rice to eat. You know rice and its behaviour. I think the spoon hit something and the rice scattered everywhere. When the man finished eating and left, the woman came with her daughter to clear the plates. As she was doing this she remarked, “I don't like people who eat like monkeys. Look at rice scattered everywhere.” The child heard but did not say anything at that time. 

Sometime later, when she saw that man of God coming to visit them, she ran to her mother and said, “Mummy! Mummy! That man you said eats like a monkey is coming.” The mother put the foul language into the mouth of the child. The little girl has caught it and the mother stands guilty for teaching the child how to speak the dirty language. 

Ezekiel 16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.  

If you want to speak about something, even if it is something good, sometimes it is better to excuse the child or keep it away from the child because he or she may not be old enough to understand such language. His or her thought towards that matter may be childish. 

1 Corinthians 13:11 Because when I was a child I thought like a child, but when I became an adult, I put away childish things. Teach them to walk in the truth of God. That is what God expects of you.

Thought for the day: Good child upbringing is for your peace and justification 
before God.

Song for the day: Give me grace, grace oh Lord…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 73-74; 
Romans 5.   #Horemow

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
