THE CHARACTER OF WISE AND FOOLISH CHILDREN

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

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
