Revelation of the Word:

THEME: FAMILY UNITY

Colossians 3:20-21 NKJV

“Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.”

INSIGHT

–Family unity is fundamental component of societal development. It enhances shared purpose and commitment among family members, fostering a strong relational bond that provides a sense of belonging, security, and identity. Children have been instructed to obey their parents in everything which pleases the Lord. It is vital that children should submit to the authority of their parents to enhance mutual respect and understanding. Fathers are cautioned from embittering their children, lest they become discouraged, which means avoiding harsh, controlling, or overly critical behavior that crushes a child’s spirit and desire to please. Mutual respect and love builds a unified family unit through the grace of God and individual commitment to a specific objective.

PRAYER

Father You have instructed us saying, children obey your parents for this is right. Father we come before You with humble submission that You may help us and our children to fear You and obey Your statutes. Dear Lord Jesus may You teach us to obey our parents as and be united in every family unit. May You teach our children to obey us for this is the first commandment with a promise, a covenant of long life of enjoyment on earth. May they never depart from Your ways and purpose. May You help us to parent our children with wisdom and grace lest we exasperate them and they become discouraged in life. May You break every form of depression and disillusionment among the youth and all people, and save all those who are contemplating suicide. It is by Your grace that You save us through faith and not from ourselves but it is a gift from You Lord. May You help us, may You save us our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen

Blessed Week
