MAKE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER GLAD IN YOUR LIFE

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

TOPIC: MAKE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER GLAD IN YOUR LIFE 

TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:1-3  

FRIDAY AUGUST 18TH

Key verse: Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 
Obey your father and mother in the Lord in matters that will bring joy and happiness to God, not in areas that God will be sorrowful and sad. For example, your father should not ask you to go and kill somebody or to go and marry someone else’s wife and you succumb to it. Neither should your mother ask you to go and steal, and you obey. That is not obedience to the Lord. God is not happy with such assignments and in such a case, you and your parents will be judged, because you have done wickedness. However, in matters of decency and right behaviour, obey them without hesitation. If you are told, to fetch water, wash plates, go on an errand and so on, that is good and acceptable in the sight of God. Make them happy by doing that, and they will bless you. But even if they refuse to or forget, God will bless you. If you continue in this manner, it shall be well with you in life and many death situations will be averted for keeping God’s commandment towards your parents. 
He that beats up his father or mother is cursed. That child is wicked. Even if your father or mother abuses you or speaks evil against you or provokes you to anger, you must not curse them or raise your hand against them. It is an abomination. Assuming your father or mother decides to engage you in a fight, do not attempt to fight back. Respect and honour him or her in obedience to the divine commandment. If you fight back, the judgment that follows is eternal death unless you repent. The place God has placed your father and mother is far above you no matter how rich, educated, or enlightened you may be. God has put the blessings of life on children who are obedient to their parents as well as curses on 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: Make your parents happy for God to be happy with you. 

Song for the day: Lord I want to be like Jesus inner my heart… 

Bible reading for the day: - Psalm 109-111; Romans 16

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
