TOPIC: THINGS GOD-FEARING PARENTS DESIRE FOR THEIR CHILDREN
TEXT: PROVERBS 23:24-25

THURSDAY AUGUST 10TH

Key verse: Proverbs 27: 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me 
Parents instruct their children to live godly so that they can be happy. Christian parents preach to their children to submit their lives to Jesus so that they also will be holy, happy and inherit the kingdom of God in the end. When you are a good child, you make them happy. You may be the only child but how awful it is if you are an armed robber. But imagine if the only child is godly: humble, respectful, and well behaved, you will be more to your parents than 10 children, just like John the Baptist. Parents rejoice when they have good children. On the other hand, parents of bad children suffer reproach from people in their neighborhood, schools, and the church. People laugh and sneer at them. Your mother is in continuous sorrow and bitterness because of your contemptuous lifestyle. 
With this attitude, many parents plead seriously with their children not to come around when they have visitors. Their dresses are evil and ungodly and show insanity, nakedness, and indecency which plague their parents and shame them. Hence, they pray that their children should be saved and delivered from an irresponsible lifestyle that brings reproach to them. Wearing short gowns, skirts, tight-fitting dresses, ungodly hairdos, bleaching, funny haircut, exposing your buttocks, wearing torn dresses, etcetera. are activities that bring shame to godly parents. Therefore, be a good boy and a good girl. Do not allow evil reports about you to enter the ears of your parents for what you have shamelessly done in the school or society. Change your attitude so that your parents can have what to say to their accusers if they try to reproach them. Jesus also is calling you to come and follow His lifestyle.
God will bless your parents and your family if you cooperate with your parents to live a godly and holy life. The word of God to you then is, to give yourself to a life of truth, righteousness, and holiness. Be godly and pursue wisdom. Be clothed with Jesus all the days of your life. Repent and change the testimony of your life in the family, society, and church. Make up your mind and change.

Thought for the day: Be clothed with Jesus all the days of your life.  

Song for the day: Jesus loves me, He died for me…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 88-89; Romans 10

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
