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

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

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...
