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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
