PARENTAL CARE SERIES - REPICTURE OBEDIENCE AT HOME S1905


TOPIC: REPICTURE OBEDIENCE AT HOME

KEY BIBLE VERSE: _But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience]._

 James 1:25 AMP


*Yes is a beautiful word that is the key to unlock the door of greater things. Yes is transformative*. Yes is world-changing. Yes is the climax of the obedience journey.


However, our yes is under attack. Remember that noise that prevents us from listening? That same noise also prevents our yes from transforming the world. We say yes to Jesus but say no to sharing Jesus with others. We say yes to moral living but say no to stepping out in faith. We say yes to doing good, but say no to inconvenience. We believe wholeheartedly God CAN change the world. But the difference-maker, the jump from He can to He WILL is our YES. And that yes is hard to give.



A true yes says yes to God AND spiritual authority. A true yes delights in the opportunity to learn from scrubbing toilets AND taking the stage. A true yes doesn’t just say yes to what we want or what we are gifted at. A true yes seizes every moment as an opportunity to change the world because we are in love with Jesus. A true yes seeks out ways to serve with a joyful heart. A true yes says yes, even when it is inconvenient. A true yes is a yes to little things AND big things. Our job is to train our kids to say yes so they can reap the benefits obedience brings. Children that see a true yes in their home are going to be the true, world-changing yes of tomorrow. That yes is the purpose of all of the training we do. Yeses, especially in little things, refine us in ways that big acts of faith cannot. 



Our yes opens doors of growth and opportunity. Every yes is an opportunity to see Jesus. When we teach our children how to grow through the yes (whether it is willing or forced- let’s be real), we are giving them the gift of seeing what others see as low and ordinary as beautiful and supernatural. Yes is our reward and honor. Let us train our children to say yes to Jesus in trust and obedience. 


Our yes is never a guarantee of what we want, but it is always a guarantee of what God wants. And that is the greatest yes of all. 


_PLS STAY TUNED FOR CONTINUATION TOMORROW BY GOD'S GRACE!_


REMEMBER, WE LOVE YOU BUT GOD LOVES YOU MORE, STAY BLESSED, FOCUSED AND BE DETERMINED TO BE A BETTER PARENT!

Marriage Series 7: What Does The Bible Say About Divorce and Remarriage?

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE? First of all, no matter what view one takes on the issue of divorce, it is important to remember Malachi 2:16, “I hate divorce, says the LORD God of Israel.” According to the Bible, marriage is a lifetime commitment. “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Matthew 19:6). God realizes, though, that, since marriages involve two sinful human beings, divorces are going to occur. In the Old Testament, He laid down some laws in order to protect the rights of divorcées, especially women ( Deuteronomy 24:1–4).  Jesus pointed out that these laws were given because of the hardness of people’s hearts, not because such laws were God’s desire (Matthew 19:8). The controversy over whether divorce and remarriage is allowed according to the Bible revolves primarily around Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 . The phrase “ except for marital unfaithfulness” is the only thing in Script...

Life Matters Nuggets

WHO ARE YOU? A lady committed a crime and she was sent to court. The punishment for the crime was life imprisonment. She shed tears for help but to no avail. When the case was called in court she started weeping. Her husband, family and friends who accompanied her started weeping but there was no hope. But something happened. Before the lady could stand in the witness box a man stood up and the court room was silent. Everyone looked at Him. He was noble and gentle. He stood in the witness box and interceded on behalf of the woman. The case was difficult, yet He used all His strength, energy and resources to fight on behalf of the woman.
