Parents Are Truly The Pride Of Their Children

adminLeave a comment

According to Proverbs 17:6 “Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children.”     

 

My parents and grandparents modeled the truth of God’s word in me and my siblings (2 Timothy 2:15: Colossians 3:16) not only with the words they said but also in their actions and behaviours (Proverbs 22:6).  God Gave them to me  as a  gift, I must keep appreciating, celebrating and honouring them (1 Corinthians 1;4: Philippians 1:3)

 

The verse describes a mutual state of love between parents, grandparents, and children in a family. The children take pride in their parents, and grandparents view grandchildren as their crowning glory.

 

I remembered the labour and investment they made to ensure I had a quality education and became a figure in the society (Matthew 19:17, 19; Ephesians 6:1-3). Their chastisement and correction have shaped me although it was not easy to abide by all instructions given by them (Hebrew 12:11). I take pride in their commitment, resilience and spiritual upbringing in studying the word of God and prayers as a training to make us useful to God and our society.

 

In contrast, some children can not take pride in their parents because some parents pay more attention to material things, are careless, and have no time to settle down with their children to show them the way of God at an early stage. Such children will wish evil on their parents. 

 

In conclusion, parents should make their children the first priority in all, a home not in shape will be void and empty at the end. Let children take pride in us as a parents when we do all that is required for building them on a sure and good foundation that is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10-11). Parents are builders!

Prioritizing the will of God leads to blessings

adminLeave a comment

Any family that prioritizes the will of God will enjoy the blessings of a happy home with godly children. The following are the benefits of doing God’s will as a family: 1 Samuel 1.

 

  1. God’s will leads to blessings and joy. Even though Hannah was barren, she persistently prayed for a child, believing that it was God’s will for her. When God finally answered her prayer and gave her Samuel, it brought great rejoicing (1 Samuel 1:10, 19-20). Seeking God’s will aligns us with his purposes and results in blessings.

 

  1. God’s will empowers us to honor our promises. When Hannah made a vow to dedicate any son she bore to the Lord’s service, she sought God’s will. By doing so, she fulfilled her promise when Samuel was born (1 Samuel 1:11, 24-28). If we follow God’s plan for our lives, we can fulfill the commitments we have made to Him.

 

  1. Putting God’s will first can lead us to greater things. In the Bible story of Hannah and Samuel, Hannah prayed for a child and dedicated him to God. As a result, God used Samuel in amazing ways as a prophet, priest, and judge to lead Israel (1 Samuel 3:19-21). When we prioritize God’s purposes over our own, we can find more meaningful ways to live our lives. 

 

  1. Her recognition of God’s will. Hannah, from the book of 1 Samuel, recognized that children are gifts from God and should be stewarded for His glory. When parents prioritize God’s will in their lives, it teaches their children to do the same and live for God’s glory instead of their self-interest.

 

  1. God’s will gives a sense of meaning and mission. Elkanah supported Hannah’s vow and Samuel’s dedication, unifying the family in a shared vision to serve God (1 Samuel 1:21-23). Prioritizing God’s will gives families a primary sense of meaning and mission.

Is It Good For Husbands To Regularly Worship God?

Is it good for husbands to regularly worship God?

Yes, it is good for husbands to regularly worship God.

In 1 Samuel chapter 1, we find the story of Elkanah, who regularly went to worship and sacrifice to the Lord, even though his wife Hannah faced challenges. Yes, it is good for husbands to regularly worship God for several reasons:

  1. Spiritual Leadership:

    Regular worship demonstrates spiritual leadership within the family. Husbands, as heads of households, can set an example by prioritizing worship.

  1. Seeking Guidance:

    Worship is a time when individuals seek God’s guidance and wisdom. Husbands, by engaging in regular worship, show their reliance on God’s direction in leading their families.

  1. Cultivating Faith:

    Worship helps cultivate and strengthen faith. Husbands, through consistent worship, contribute to the spiritual growth and resilience of their families.

  1. Modeling Devotion:

    Regular worship allows husbands to model devotion to God, teaching their families the importance of a personal relationship with the Lord.

  1. Family Unity:

    Worship can foster a sense of unity within the family. When husbands participate, it encourages a shared spiritual experience that can strengthen family bonds.

In summary, based on biblical principles and the example set by individuals like Elkanah, husbands regularly worshiping God is not only good but also plays a vital role in nurturing a spiritually vibrant and united family.
