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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
