OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 27 MAY 2020 WEDNESDAY: OBEDIENCE GUARANTEES SECURITY
MEMORIZE: Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; Ephesians 6:2
BIBLE READING EPHESIANS 6:1-3
1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3. That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
MESSAGE
There is nothing cool about being rebellious.
If you are a rebellious child, you are on your
way to destruction.
There is an adage that says: What an adult will see while sitting, a child will not see it even if he climbs on a tree.
This simply means that your parents and elders have more experience about life than you do. So, if they advise you against a particular action, it is better to obey unless the advise is contrary to the word of God.
Many lives and destinies have been
destroyed by disobedience. For instance,
a child who has been warned on several
occasions not to stay late outside, but then
goes to a club and falls into the hands of
ritualists on his way back home, what will
become of such a child?.
No child of God should be seen in a night club and any unholy place. My child, obey your parents. If they want you back home at a particular time, get home even before then.
If they don’t approve of a friend, stay away from the fellow before he/she puts you in trouble. Know that obedience guarantees you security from shame and eternal damnation.
God hates rebellion while He delights in
Obedience. If you love God, obedience will
not be a problem for you (John 14:15 ).
PRAYER POINT
Obey your parents, so that your days may be long.
HYMN
