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

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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
