MAKE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER GLAD

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking your time to study

TOPIC: MAKE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER GLAD

TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:1-3
 
TUESDAY JULY 18TH

Key verse: Proverbs 23:25 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
Submission and obedience of children and youths to parents and leaders promotes godliness and holiness which are vital requirements of God. May the Lord open the eyes of many children and youths to God's word and commandments to them and compel many to submit and obey their parents. God promises rewards to children that obey their parents according to the will of God but condemns obedience that is contrary to the word of God. Your obedience should be in areas that will make God happy with you and not in areas that will make Him sorrowful. Your father should not ask you to go and kill somebody or marry someone else's wife; neither should your mother ask you to go and steal someone's goods and you heed.
That is not obedience to the Lord. God is not happy with such assignments and in that case, you and your parents will be judged, because they have used you to do wickedness. However, in legitimate matters; things that are right, like “fetch water, wash plates, go on an errand” and so on; that is good and acceptable. Make your parents and guardians happy by doing so and they will bless you. Even if they do not pronounce blessings on you, God will certainly bless you. If you continue in this manner, it shall be well with you in life and many deadly situations will be averted over you for obeying God's word towards your parents.
He that beats up his father and mother is cursed. In fact, that child is wicked. Even if your father or mother abuses you or speaks evil against you, do not curse them. Assuming your father fights you, do not attempt to fight him back. The judgment for that is eternal death unless you repent. Importantly, this is a commandment and God puts the blessings of life on children who are obedient to their parents. God as well curses those who are disobedient to their parents. The scripture makes it plain that parents are glad when their children behave well and are sorrowful when their children are stubborn.
Thought for the day: Parents are glad when their children behave well but are sorrowful when they are stubborn.
Song for the day: I love Jesus (2x), He is my Friend (2x) …
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 25-27; Acts 20:17-38

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...
