COMMAND YOUR HOUSEHOLD – Wednesday May 27th 2020
Memorise: And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be
in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and
shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by
the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Read: Genesis 18:19
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his
household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and
judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Bible in one year: Psalm 111-118, Hymn: Sing hymn 6
Message:-
It
is most surprising that the children of fervent Christians of the outgoing
generation appear to be missing in action today.

If
you are a child of God, you must make sure that your children emulate you in
the things you do, the way you talk and even the things you love. You instill
this in them by showing them what is right and what is wrong as they grow up.
Some parents go to Church and leave their children at home, claiming that they
don’t want to force them to serve God; they want them to grow up to love God by
themselves. I pity them because they are just giving the devil a free hand with
their children. Do you let the child decide if he wants to go to school or not?
God said about Abraham in Genesis 18:19:

“For I know him, that he
will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way
of the LORD…”
Can
God say the same thing about you? Before you evangelise to the unbelievers
outside, are you sure that there is no unbeliever in your home? Watch what they
wear, what they say, who their friends are. Teach them to read their Bible and
to pray. When you teach your children to live godly lives, you will have rest
in your old age because the Holy Spirit in them will not allow them to
misbehave. If you have a child who is already going wayward, I pray that he/she
would encounter Christ and change for the better in the mighty name of Jesus.
Action Point
Every day, as you teach them, pray for your children that they will
walk in the ways of the Most-High God all their lives.
