PARENTS
Children, obey your parents in
the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first
commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long
on the earth.”
Ephesians 6:1-3 NKJV
The Bible teaches us to obey
our parents in the Lord, for it is right. "Honor your father and
mother," this is the first commandment with promise. If we do that it will
go well with us and we will live long life on the earth.
Our parents used to respect
their parents. They obeyed them regardless how illiterate they were and
listened to their advises. We are living in the age that many young people
don't respect their parents; and give no regard to the elders in the
societies.
That's why there is a rise of
generation that doesn't care about their families; because people have been so
selfish and only care about their own agendas. I believe we don't live long and
enjoy life as it supposed to be; because we don't obey this commandment that
came with a promise.
This morning, I want to
remind you to obey your parents. I know there are some of us who were not raised
by our biological parents; but at least we had some people who we look for as
guardians or parental figures. Some of us lost our parents and maybe when we
were still young; but still there are some of people who taught us basic things
about life.
If you are still struggling
in this area, then ask God to help you have control over it. Learn to respect
your elders and those who are older than you. Learn to respect and obey your
leaders in the Church and ministry. God will bless you for being obedient and
follow what He teaches us in this world.
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by
faith and God is going to answer your prayer....
Dear Heavenly Father, forgive
me for where I have disrespected my parents and elders in my circle of
influence. Help me to start obeying them and love them as your word commands.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
