TOPIC: Home Training [Open Heaven for Teens 14 September 2021]
MEMORISE: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
READ: Ephesians 6:1
Also Read: Open Heaven 14 September 2021 – The Law Of The Sabbath
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Proverbs 25-27, 2 Corinthians 6:1-18
MESSAGE:
Home training differs across cultures and geographical space. For instance, if a Yoruba girl genuflects or kneels to greet an elderly Nigerian, she will be considered to have home training but if the same girl sees an elderly American man and says “Good morning sir. It’s nice to see you today”, he would applaud her for being courteous and respectful. Respect is an aspect of home training that you should learn from a tender age.
However, on a general note, a good home training is when you are taught to speak, think and behave right towards others. When Abraham saw three visitors in Genesis 18:1-33, he bowed himself to the ground. In Genesis 19:1, Lot, his nephew did the same to strangers. This shows that humility was part of the training they got from their parents and they expressed it to anyone. Take all the needed training from your parents. Be respectful, learn chores and do them as and when due.
KEY POINT:
A well-behaved child brings accolades to his/her parents.
HYMNS: God Give Us Christian Homes
- God give us Christian homes,
Homes where the Bible is loved and taught,
Homes where the Master’s will is sought,
Homes crowned with beauty Thy love has wrought;
God give us Christian homes,
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes,
Homes where the father is true and strong,
Homes that are free from the blight of wrong,
Homes that are joyous with love and song;
God give us Christian homes,
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes,
Homes where the mother in queenly quest,
Strives to show others Thy way is best,
Homes where the Lord is an honoured guest;
God give us Christian homes,
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes,
Homes where the children are led to know,
Christ in His beauty who loves them so,
Homes where the altar fires burn and glow;
God give us Christian homes;
God give us Christian homes!
