TOPIC: CHARACTERISTICS OF A FOOLISH CHILD
TEXT: PROVERBS 23:15-16
SATURDAY OCTOBER 14th
Key verse: John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it
A foolish child is one who despises his parents and may curse or fight them. Proverbs 19: 26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. The foolish child goes about making a mockery of his parents and speaking evil against them at the slightest offence. He shows no regard for them; rather, he despises them. He is not of help to them neither does he bother about their cry for help. He does not obey their instructions, rather, he chases them away and puts them to shame. Do not behave this way to your parents. Love and obey them and they will be glad that you are their son or daughter. God will bless you too.
Proverbs 23:15-16 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. This is a parent talking to the child; advising the child to submit to the instruction of wisdom, to walk on the good path, and to submit himself to God for a change of life so that God can make him peaceful, happy, and glad. Are you the type of child who always tells lies? Your good parents will want you to always speak the truth. God also will want you to speak the truth, even if you fear that it will hurt you. Speaking lies makes you a child of Satan. Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
Some evil children beat up their parents to disgrace them or abuse them. There is a great judgment of God against such children in this world and in hellfire. Proverbs 30: 11,17 11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. 17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. Proverbs 20: 20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
Thought for the day: Some evil children beat up, disgrace, or abuse their parents.
Song for the day: Dry bones shall rise again
Bible reading for the day: - Isaiah 53-55; 1 Thessalonians 2
