TOPIC: REMEMBER YOUR CREATOR MEMORISE : Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; - (Ecclesiastes 12:1) READ : Mark 11:12-20 (KJV) 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all natio...

TOPIC: THE INTENTIONAL PARENT III   MEMORISE :  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Matthew 7:17   READ : Psalms 34:1-3 1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.   MESSAGE Over the past two days, I have discussed how important it is for parents to train their children in God's way and some of the things they must consciously do to achieve this. A poorly trained child often grows up to become a nuisance to society. However, when children are brought up in a godly manner, they grow up to become adults whom their parents can be proud of and good models for other people to emulate. As I round off this series today, I would like to mention again that parents should teach their children God's word, ways, and principles ...

TOPIC: THE INTENTIONAL PARENT II   MEMORISE :  Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Proverbs 29:17   READ : Psalms 1:1-6 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.  MESSAGE Yesterday, I mentioned that God expects parents to train their children in His way. I also discussed how be...

TOPIC: THE INTENTIONAL PARENT I MEMORISE :  Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  Proverbs 22:6   READ : Deuteronomy 6:6-9  6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 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. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.   MESSAGE God expects parents to intentionally train their children so that the children can give them rest. Intentionally training children yields many benefits, but it is disastrous when parents don't train their children in the right way. Proverbs 17:21 says that the father of a fool has no joy. In other words, if parents don't want to sp...

TOPIC: LET HIM HAVE IT ALL   MEMORISE :  O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.   Jeremiah 10:23   READ : John 6:5-13 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?   6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.   7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.   8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,   9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?   10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.   11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, an...

TOPIC: PRAYERS FOR YOURSELF   MEMORISE :  Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. Psalm 65:4   READ : Psalms 15:1-5 1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.   Prayers : 1. Father, I thank You for choosing me and making me Your own. Thank You for the tremendous privilege of being Your beloved child. 2.
