THEME: CHILDREN! FOLLOW THE WAY. MEMORISE : My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother: PROVERBS 1 : 8. READ : 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 The Bible teaches that children have mandatory responsibilities to their parents. As a matter of fact, Children owe their parents certain important duties that include the obligation to respect, honour and obey them. Children are the heritage of the Lord and God has a special interest in their well-being. Meanwhile God is a disciplinarian as revealed in Revelation 3 : 19 : “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” God has decided to commit the discipline of children to their parents as caretakers for Him; therefore, children must cooperate with thei...

THEME: DYING TO SELF Romans 8:1-13 George Mueller once remarked, “There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.” Our reading passage today sheds some more light on this subject of dying to self. “So then, my brothers, we are in debt, not to the flesh to be living in the way of the flesh: For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life. And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God” (Romans 8:11-13 BBE). Man is naturally selfish in his dealings. He wants the best for himself and does not mind what happens to others. He wants to be recognised and appreciated before all others; he wants to occupy the most dignified position even when he is not the most quali...

THEME: WORDS CARRY POWER ANCHOR TEXT: “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible” Hebrews 11:3. Words are mysterious contrivance of communication in everyday life. Man thinks with words, speak, listen, read and write with words. Words help to communicate ideas, help to understand other people’s ideas. If you want to understand the mind of men; listen to their words. It is words that link the mind to the outside world.  Words are not empty vessels, they are powerful and are fulfilled when they are spoken. Whatever the intent of the words you speak; so shall they accomplish. If your words are positive, surely you will experience positive manifestations and if they are negative; it shall be as you speak. In Genesis 1:3, God said let there be light and there was light. God’s positive words illuminated the darkness of the earth. The entire world was formed with words. The Holy Spirit too change...
