Text —Ephesians 6:1-2
Message
In our world today, there is a rise in cases of children dishonouring their parents and premature death or calamity befalling young people. Neglecting the word of God is consequential, Deuteronomy 5:16 says, “Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded 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.” It is well pleasing unto the Lord when you obey your parents. It attracts grace and blessings upon us. Proverbs 1:8-9 says, “My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.”
The Bible is very clear about our respecting our parents and by extension respecting elders in our community. Our Pastors, teachers and leaders are also our parents in the Lord and should be respected as well. Students should learn to respect their principals and teachers in the school as obedience to their godly instructions bring blessings.
