Those who honour their parents are designed for dignity and distinction.

The Oxford dictionary says that honour means “to regard someone with great respect or high esteem.” The word honour means “to esteem and value as precious.” To honour someone is to value him or her highly, to bestow value on him or her. Without complete and genuine honour to your parents, it will be impossible to honour anyone else.

The fifth commandment states, “Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee” (Exodus 20:12). The relationship with your parents is so significant that it is the first earthly relationship addressed in the commandments and it is the only one that comes with a blessing from God.

So, anytime you are not obeying your parents, or not giving them honour, it means you are displeasing the Lord. If you want to please the Lord, you must honour your parents.

You can find a good example in the Bible – our Lord Jesus Christ. You will discover that Jesus honoured His earthly parents even though they were not perfect. In the book of Luke 2:41 -51, you see that Jesus followed His parents to Jerusalem to worship, but when they were going back, Jesus stayed behind and was listening to the scribes. The parents assumed that he must be part of the company on the journey, and they had gone a day’s journey before they discovered that Jesus was not with them. They turned back and looked for Jesus for three days, before they found Him in the temple. They said, “Son, why did you treat us like this?” He replied, “Don’t you know that I should be about my Father’s business?” He got up and followed them and was subject to them. That is Jesus Christ. This shows you the importance of honouring your parents.

1. O Lord, deliver me from the spirit of Belial, in the name of Jesus.

2. Spirit of obedience to my parents, fall upon my life, in the name of Jesus.

3. I refuse to be a rebellious child, in the name of Jesus.

𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆

4. Spirit of dishonour, lose your hold over my life, in the name of Jesus.

5. O Lord, deliver me from the spirit of the vagabond, in the name of Jesus.

6. The spirit of disobedience shall not possess my life, in the name of Jesus.

7. I shall not die young, in the name of Jesus.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Message

Our God is a God of reward and an excellent motivator. He gives a law, and specifies the reward that will follow if we keep it (Deuteronomy 28:1-2). In like manner, He also indicates the punishment attached to breaking any of his laws (Genesis 2:16-17). In our Bible reading, we read about the first commandment with a promise. Apostle Paul got the inspiration on this truth from Exodus 20:12. It is unfortunate that this law of life is not being heeded by the young folks of today. This is the reason why life expectancy is reducing. The story was told of a young boy in a very remote part of Africa, who respected and honoured his parents to the extent that their wish was law in his life. One of the rules his parents gave him was that he should not eat anything that did not come from them. “What if I was given something to eat outside, what should I do with it?” he asked his parents.

 

They said, “Bring it home before you eat it.” One day, this boy went out with his friends to a neighbouring village where they were given food packages. They had scarcely stepped out of this village when all the other boys started eating their food, which unknown to them had been poisoned. Only this boy remembered the instructions of his parents and refused to even open his pack. All the other boys died as soon as they got back to their village, and he alone survived the attack. To a young man or woman reading this devotional, I advise that you take this commandment which has longevity as its reward very seriously.

 

Besides, there are two categories of parents: biological and spiritual. Parents of both categories should be honoured (Malachi 1:6). A believer must exhibit this trait so that unbelieving parents will know that the best life to live is the Christian life. God watches over His words to honour them. If you honour God by obeying this injunction, He will keep you from evil. The problem with present day youths is that they think they know more than older people do; hence, they disregard their instructions, particularly those of their parents, to their own peril. Such youths can’t seem to learn from the story of the rebellious Absalom, who met a premature death at the prime of his life (2 Samuel 18:9-15). He was so unruly that he temporarily deposed his own father. Many youths in Church today scheme to get their pastor out of the way so that they can be in charge. May God salvage this generation from the spirit of rebellion in Jesus’ Name.

 

Prayer Point:

Father, grant me grace to keep the first commandment with promise, even when it’s not convenient to do so, in Jesus’ Name.

 

 

 

May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

 

 

 

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!
