TOPIC: THE DESIRE OF GOD FEARING PARENTS FOR THEIR CHILDREN

TEXT: PROVERBS 23:24-25
24. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: And he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, And she that bare thee shall rejoice.
 
KEY VERSE. PROVERBS 10:1 “A wise son make the a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.” 

Parents normally instruct their children to live godly so that they can be happy. Christian parents go the extra mile to 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 the only child is an armed robber. But imagine if the only child is a godly child: humble, respectful and well behaved, you will be more to your parents than ten 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 neighborhoods, schools, and in the church. 
Mothers live in continuous sorrow and bitterness because of the contemptuous lifestyle of stubborn children. 

With this attitude many parents plead seriously with their children not to come around when they have visitors. Their dresses are evil and ungodly. Their nakedness and indecency plague their parents and bring shame to them. Hence, they desire in their prayers that their children should be saved and delivered from irresponsible lifestyle that brings reproach to them. 

Wearing short gowns, skirts, tight fitting dresses, ungodly hair-do, bleaching, funny hair cut, exposing your buttocks, wearing torn dresses etc. 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 life style. God will bless your parents and family if you cooperate with them to live a godly and holy life. 

Thought for the day: Wise children are blessing to their parents. 

Song for the day: God is good, He has done me well

Bible reading for the day: Ecclesiastes 5-8

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 want to be f
