Words of The Day

Earthly Father

(Exodus 20:12) Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. (Deuteronomy 5:16) Honour the father and thy mother , as the Lord thy God hath command thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

God says that we must honour our earthy fathers. This is the first commandment out of the ten that gives us a promise. The above scripture verses suggest that we more or less determine the length of our lives and destiny. We should not wait for Father’s Day to set it aside to honour fathers, but we should show respect and love for them, throughout the year, and throughout their lives. We should be thankful for the little things that they were able to provide, and not only on the big things. Some father are not able to provide as they  would  like to, some fathers do not make a lot of monies to make ends meet, but they are always there for their children through thick and thin and is very supportive.

(Colossians 3:20) Children obey your parents in all things; for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

As fathers you should avoid harshness, anger, favoritism, severity, and cruelty toward your children. Discipline is wonderful, if it is done with love and Godliness. Children should be nourished with wholesome discipline and biblical instructions in an effort to create a Christian Mind.

We must not be disrespectful and curse our parents. The scripture warns us about cursing them. (Matthew 15:4) For God commanded , saying, honour thy father and mother ; and , he that curseth father or mother , let him die the death.

Prayer:

Father in the name of Jesus, I submit to you and ask your forgiveness for lying, cursed, disobeyed, displeased my father and disobeyed Your commandments. I pray O, Lord that you will restore me to that knowledge that You are not a respecter of persons. Father in the name of Jesus, I pray that I will be able to overcome the habit of finding fault with my father. I pray that I will do my best to make things right in the eyes of my father. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen
