Open Heaven 12 December 2020
Saturday MESSAGE:
Message:-
Today’s memory verse says that you must honour your parents if you do not want to die young. This is because of the law of harvest. Whatever you do to your parents, your children will do to you in future.
Open Heaven 12 December 2020 – HONOUR YOUR PARENTS
If you honour your parent, you will live to become a parent
and your children will honour you in return. The Bible says that God gets very
upset at children who mistreat their parents.
“Whoso curseth his father or
his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness” – Proverbs 20:20

The above passage tells you that you should watch what you say
to or about your parents, so that your light would not be put out in the day
time. In other words, if all of a sudden, a child thinks that he/she is now of
age and prosperous and need not have any regard for his/her parents anymore,
not only would the child die suddenly, he/she would do so in such a manner as
to make people wonder “How can this be?” I want to appeal to you if your
parents are still alive, that you honour them, if you want to live long and
enjoy the blessings of God.
Open Heaven 12 December 2020: [SATURDAY] Daily Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye – HONOUR YOUR PARENTS
This is the sole cause of the
death of many young people these days, but because it cannot be scientifically
proven, many people ignore it. Your parents, no matter how bad they may have
been, are the ones chosen by God to bring you to this world. He knew how they
would treat you before He allowed you come through them, and since we know that
God does all things for our good, then our parents have a part to play in the fulfillment
of our destiny. God brought you to this world through them, so the least you
can do is to honour them. You may be saying “Oh, you don’t know what my parents
have done to me; if you did, you wouldn’t be telling me to honour them.” Well,
they may have been horrible to you, but you don’t have to extend the effect of
what they did to you by dishonouring them. It is for your own good that you
honour them because dishonouring them brings a curse. Forgive them for whatever
they have done wrong and begin to honour them as from today. It is God’s will
that you do so.
Open Heaven 12 December 2020 Saturday Key Point:
Dishonouring your parents is like committing suicide. Don’t kill
yourself.
Open Heaven 12 December 2020 Saturday Hymn 30: When We Walk With The Lord
When
we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a
shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Not a
burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
But
we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
Then
in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
Key Point:
Dishonouring your parents is
like committing suicide. Don’t kill yourself.
