CHILD TRAINING REQUIRES LABOUR

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: CHILD TRAINING REQUIRES LABOUR 

Text:  Genesis 18:17-19 

SATURDAY MAY 13th 

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.
Child training is a labour. It is a work to be done. It involves vision and action, because the Bible says, "In the way he should go." You must design the way you want your child to go. Child training is an activity that takes time. It means, you must create time to be with the child. You have to reduce your involvement in other things for the training. How do you put people in a class for training when the teacher is not there for them? You have to create time for the child. Child training is a challenge. It is a challenge because many things go against it. What do we say about the lazy man? What about the man who occupies himself with other things? What about the traveling man? What about the man that stays too far away from the family? What about the mother who is occupied with business or office work? 
Proverbs 24:30-33 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. 
Laziness! You have no time, but you spend a lot of time for yourself. You have much time for your pleasure, for that which gives you comfort. You want to get your own satisfaction, so you leave the child untrained. There is a saying “As you make your bed, so you shall lie on it.” In other words, whatever a man sows, that shall he reap. Child training is generally a challenge for parents. It is similar to the law of sowing and reaping. 

Thought for the day: Train your child to give you peace and blessing, or leave him untrained and reap the shame and sorrow later.

Song for the day: Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world…

Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 6-8; John 4:31-54

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...
