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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
