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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
