MORE THAN EVER
April 23, 2023A PRAYER OF DAVID
April 25, 2023The Bible speaks with clarity about the parents, and responsibility of the children. The children are encouraged and commanded to honour their parents with their love, care and obedience. This, as the Word of God says, is honourable thing to do, and a thing that pleases God.
At an age where life is hectic, and nuclear families are normal, it becomes all the more important to think, plan and act in line with God’s Word, with regards to our parents. The Bible says, “1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honour your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” – Ephesians 6:1-3
The above words of Paul is a direct quote from the Ten Commandments that the LORD gave through Moses in Exodus 20:12 and reconfirmed in Deuteronomy 5:16. It is good to note and remember always, that in the welfare of our parents is, our welfare too. The welfare that the Bible talks about is much more than material and earthly benefits.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, it is imperative upon us to honour our mother and our father, and look after their welfare and comfort while here on earth.
