Teach Your Children in God's Way

Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
     - 1 Samuel 2:12 

One major failure that cost Eli his life and ministry is his failure to train up his children. God marked him a failure. Imagine a whole high priest of a nation and his children doesn't know the Lord. It's oblivious he failed to teach the children the ordinances of the Lord, perhaps been a priest, he  thought the children will be seeing all what he is doing and learn from there rather than sit them down and teach them the ordinances of God.

In this present time, there are so many parents who like Eli ain't teaching their children in the way of the Lord. God is going to hold every parents responsible for the failure of their children. God explicitly told the Israelites to TEACH their children about the ways of the Lord.

Daddy and Mummy, you have a duty to train up your children in the way of the Lord, nothing short of that is expected from you. Many parents don't have time for their children, their career, work, travels has taken most of their time. The most common thing some parents do is to send their children to boarding school or to go live with a relative. When God gave you a child, He expects you to take care of that child. It just physically but also spiritually.

When you don't train up your Child, they become an embarrassment  to you in The future. No matter how rich or. Yay you are as a parents. Find them to be with your children and tell them about Jesus. Tell them about the ways of the Lord. Tell them what is require of them. If you don't teach the rightly, there are enough people to teach them wrongly. A teacher in the school has little bearing on your child spiritual life because he/she is employed to teach your child in academics.

I pray that your labour over your children will not be in vain. Your children won't turn to be like the children of Eli. Your children shall be of God and for God. Through them, people will come to the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus. You will never cry or regret over any of your children.

Good Morning and do enjoy your day.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
