Message
There is a story of a girl, in the South Western part of Nigeria, who was the only child of her parents. Being the only child, she was over-pampered by her parents in her upbringing. Over the years, she grew so wild and began to challenge her parents whenever they gave her instructions. Things got so bad that she started beating up her mother whenever she was corrected. Eventually, she was locked up in the prison by her father to curtail her excesses but alas, it was too late.
Our parents are God’s instrument of guidance for our best interest, and we should recognize that fact as youths. Their instructions and counsels are for our overall benefits. The Bible commands children to obey their parents; and numerous blessings are attached to doing so – long life, prosperity, and good success. If your case is like that of that girl, it is not late for you. All you need to do now is to repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your life. Then start honouring and obeying your parents. Happy Children’s Day!
