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

TOPIC: THE CHARACTER OF WISE AND FOOLISH CHILDREN

TEXT: MATTHEW 25: 1-5 

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 26TH

Key verse Proverbs 10:1 The Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. 
A wise child will make the father and mother glad and even his relatives and guardians. The neigbours will appreciate him and point him as a good example to their children. On the other hand, if the child is stubborn or foolish, he will bring pain and sorrow to his or her father and mother. Have you ever thought about this, that the scriptures always emphasize on the sorrow of the wayward child on the mother and not the father? The reason is because the father will automatically turn his back on that child, denying him as his child but rather putting the waywardness of that child on the mother to bear the shame alone. Unfortunately, the mother cannot deny him as easily as the father. She must shoulder the pain and the sorrow. King Saul in his anger against Jonathan said to him “Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman,” 
A wise child is a child who behaves and performs well and is well-spoken of in the school, in the society, and in the church. People do praise and hail a child for his good conduct and excellent spirit. While on the other side of the coin, if the child is foolish, the mother will live in shame and sorrow. King Saul in his anger against Jonathan said to him “Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman,” 1 Samuel 20:30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness? 
In the above text, was Jonathan's mother present? Not at all. What evil did she do to give birth to Jonathan? It is because the son behaved contrary to King Saul's interest. This made him abused and condemned the mother for giving birth to him. Here you can clearly see the weight and burden of blame that is being shifted to your mother all because of your disobedient and stubborn attitude.

Thought for the day: A wise child is a child that behaves and performs well.  

Song for the day: I have a Father, Almighty Father, He is King of kings...

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 36-37; 1 Peter 3

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...

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...
