Let the parents be involved

Times are changing, the culture has improved, we can now think for ourselves as young adults (we are empowered to make decisions at an early age). We know what we want and how we want it. For us to decide on whom we want to marry is usually up to us and sometimes for our parents to go along with the plan. Deciding on whom we want to spend the rest of our lives with is vital, therefore it will be great that we engage our parents in this decision. Some parents I must say are difficult, weird or just different (especially the fact that we and our parents grew up in different times but it’s the same JESUS we serve 😉!

How to make your parents happy with you…

How To Make Your Parents Happy With You…

²⁵ A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

Proverbs 17:25 King James Version (KJV)

If your parents are happy, you are truly happy, and if they are not, you’re not happy either. Therefore, it is important you live a life that brings them joy. There's nothing like a parent that blesses a child, the life of that child is different, because the child is truly blessed!

²⁰ A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

Proverbs 15:20 King James Version (KJV)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Children, Obey Your Parents In The Lord, For This Is Right.

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Ephesians 6:1 King James Version (KJV)

Sometimes, it's hard. You don’t understand why your parents tell you to do some things! You wish you could let go of them somehow. The truth is you can't pick someone else on the street as your parent. GOD will honor the fact that you obey them. HE will appreciate the fact that you listen, for it is the right thing before HIS eyes!

13 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

Proverbs 13:1 King James Version (KJV)

There is nothing like the joy in the heart of your parents when they see you obey their instructions over your life. Well you may not understand now, but later in the future you will. You will know the reason why they wanted you in bed early, have a close relationship with JESUS, stay away from certain friends, and be the best in your education. Parents have lived before us, but funny enough we, humans, still go through the same cycle of life. The times may be different, but the occurrences don’t change. Birth, weddings, job, love and many more, they have seen it all. They have been successful with some decision, while they made mistakes in others. They will always want the best for you!

¹¹ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

Proverbs 27:11 King James Version (KJV)

Learn to obey and love your parents, for you will not always have them around. Obedience improves the relationship between you and your parents. One day you will also be parent and you would love your children to obey you!

10 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Proverbs 10:1 King James Version (KJV)

GOD sees it right that you obey your parents. He did not say consider, HE means #OBEY!

²⁸ But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Luke 11:28 King James Version (KJV)

Honor your parents!

Honor Your Parents!

² Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

Ephesians 6:2 King James Version (KJV)

Don’t talk down on your parents and be there to defend them. Don't laugh at jokes that bring them down. They form the integral core parts of your life. If you cannot stand for them who will?

Well, some people can't be with their parents in public due to reasons like they are illiterate, disabled or many other unexplainable reasons. Nevertheless, one cannot afford to do away with them. They are the reason why you were born. They are the facts of your existence; therefore, they must be honored!

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Ephesians 6:1 King James Version (KJV)

GOD considers them important. HE took time to explain that we as children should respect and honor our parents. This includes times when they become old or sick; we need to be there for them as children. It doesn't matter whether they were there for you or not. GOD didn't make excuses for people who had bad parents. #Honor means #Honor, no matter the type of parents!

² Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

Ephesians 6:2 King James Version (KJV)

Sometimes, you may be having hard times in loving your parents or not just having time for them in your busy schedule. Pray for Grace. For the Grace of GOD is made available in all our weaknesses, no matter the type!

⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Dear Child…. Obey Your Parents….

Dear Child, Obey Your Parents.

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Ephesians 6:1 King James Version (KJV)

There is a reason why you are called a "child". You're not here on earth before your parents. No matter how educated, enlightened, and in style you think you are, you can't have enormous life experience more than your parents. Ignoring them is a dangerous move as a child to his or her parent.

¹⁰ For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹ But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

¹² And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

¹³ Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Mark 7:10-13

JESUS commands us to love our parents. There is no point if you're important and loved by many, and your relationship with your parents is terrible. My mum always says, "You can't be an ant outside and an elephant inside".  Your true character will be expressed some day, and people will know you for who you are.

² Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

Ephesians 6:2 King James Version (KJV)

Yorubas have a way connoting someone's misbehaviour, especially if it’s done to somebody who is old enough to be their parent. They will say, "Don't you have parents at home that you are disrespecting someone older than you". For to be successful in life, entails you to be obedient to your parents.

Open your heart to what they say. GOD knows why HE put that type of parents over you. Obey, for no parent wants his or her child to experience what he or she has. There is not point for a parent to keep quiet when a child is heading the same direction they headed and failed, and made them regret all their life.

There is no way you can truly love, obey and honour GOD, if you cannot obey you parents.

²⁰ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

1 John 4:20 King James Version (KJV)

#Prayer Points: If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. John 14:14 King James Version (KJV)

1. LORD, give me a heart that listens and a mind that obeys all that you say through my parents, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

³³ Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

Psalm 119:33 King James Version (KJV)

2. LORD, help Nigeria throughout the electoral process, and elect the right people peacefully, IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

³ Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
