THE WISE AND FOOLISH CHILDREN

God bless you for taking your time to study.

THE WISE AND FOOLISH CHILDREN 

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 9th

TEXT: PROVERBS 23:15-16

Key Verse: Proverbs 10:1 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
A wise son will make the father and mother glad and even his relatives and guardians. The neighbors will appreciate him and point out him as a good example to their Children. On the other hand, if the child is stubborn or foolish, he will bring pain and sorrow to his or her father and mother. Have you ever thought about this, that the scriptures always emphasize the sorrow of the wayward child on the mother and not the father? The reason is that the father will automatically turn his back on that child, denying him as his child or rather putting the waywardness of that child on the mother to bear the shame alone.
Proverbs 23:13-14
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
I Samuel 20:30 “Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?”
Proverbs 19:26 “He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach”.
The foolish child goes about making a mockery of his parents and speaking evil against them at the slightest offense. He shows no regard for them; rather, he despises them. He is not of help to them neither does he bother about their cry for help. He does not obey their instructions rather he chases them away and puts them to shame.

Thought for the day: Do not behave badly to your parent to attract their curses.

Song for the day: Give me the grace to follow, abundant grace to follow …

The Bible reading for the day: 
Proverbs 15-16; 2 Corinthians 1

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
