Focus: The Blessedness of Esteeming your Parents 2

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
One of the most important pre-requisite to keep your lamp burning is to hold to a very high esteem your parents!

*****
BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Whoever curses his father or his mother, His lamp will be put out in deep darkness." (Proverbs 20:20 NKJV).

The Lord our God is a righteous Judge. He has shown to us continuously how much He detests a man who dishonours his parents. The simple message He is passing across to us is that if we so much desire to keep our lamp burning when we need it most we must honour our parents.

I heard of a woman who had delay in child bearing for several years on the account of dishonouring her in laws (Father and Mother). She is neither accommodative to them nor provide for them. Thank God for a man of God who counselled them to reconcile with their parents. This they did and got a child after 9 months.

It is not limited to using abusive words on them. Some people cannot show their parents to people; saying they are not presentable. Some drag the name of the parents in the mud as a result of bad character. Some on the account of laziness, living in luxury and nonchalant attitude become a failure in various aspect of life squandering the resources of their parents. Some ignore their aged parents without providing for them their basic needs. Whereas, these parents spent their hard earned money on such children; giving them the money they can't spend on themselves for food, clothing and other things.

When you do this you are cursing them because you are their fruit. You must not take your parents for granted. Your remembrance in their hearts should bring you a blessing.
