Topic: LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS
Memory Verse: Proverbs 13:1 – A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. Proverbs 13:1
Bible Reading: Ephesians 6:1-3
Message: We have been talking about our children for some days now. Today, let us talk about you as a child. No matter how old you are, you must remain submissive to your parents – whether biological or spiritual.
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. Proverbs 4:10
If you listen to your parents, you will live long because where you are now, they have been there before. You may have all the gadgets now, but you don’t have the experience that your parents do. You may feel big because you have achieved even more than your parents, but you must not forget that God brought you to this world through them for a reason. God wants us to receive godly counsel and instructions so we can be wise, as we see in Proverbs 19:20:
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
Submitting to the authority of your parents now may seem like a burden, but later on in life, you will be glad that you did. They may not be as educated as you; still listen to them. May you never have all the scars that your parents do, in Jesus’ name.
Don’t ever raise your voice at your parents. They may be old, they may be slow, they may even have maltreated you when you were younger, yet, give them the respect that being your parents calls for. An old person is closer to his grave and his or her words can have very serious consequences. If you bring tears to the eyes of your old parents, you are setting yourself up for destruction. Don’t forget the law of sowing and reaping. What you sow today, you will reap tomorrow.
Seek to get your parents’ blessings all the time. Make them happy, bring smiles to their faces, let them have rest when they think about you. If they offended you when they were younger, forgive them so that their sin will not end up on your neck. It is not the duty of the child to punish the parents; leave them to the Lord who brought you to the world through them.
Hymn: O Lord My God! When I In Awesome Wonder
Points: No matter how big you have become, respect and honour your parents
Bible in one year: Psalms 29, Psalms 30, Psalms 31
Title: O Lord My God! When Am in Awesome Wonder.
Chorus: null.
1. Father, before Thy throne of light,The guardian angels bends,
And ever in Thy presence bright,
Their psalms adoring blend:
And casting down each golden crown.
Beside the crystal sea,
With voice and lyre, in happy choir,
Hymn glory, Lord, to Thee.
2. And as the rainbow lustre falls Athwart their glowing wings,
While Seraph unto Seraph calls,
And each Thy goodness mgs;
Oh may we feel, as low we kneel
To pray Thee for Thy grace,
That Thou art here, for all who fear
The brightness of Thy face.
3. Here, where the Angels see us come,To worship day by day
Teach us to seek our heav’nly home,
And serve Thee e’en as they;
With them to raise our notes of praise,
With them Thy love to own;
Till life’s first flow’r and fullest pow’r,
Be Thine and Thine alone.
