Respect your parents! Proverbs 20:20

Respect Your Parents! Proverbs 20:20

²⁰ Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

Proverbs 20:20 King James Version (KJV)

Yes, parents may sometimes upset you. Nevertheless, this does not mean in any way that you should insult, or be rude to them. GOD takes leadership very seriously, and the person HE decides to put over you, must be respected with utmost regard! Don’t be sly to your parents, it doesn’t reflect well on you, as a Christian!

For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

Psalm 18:28 King James Version (KJV)

Your parents are the ones GOD chose to bring you into this world. By being rude to them, they cannot obviously decide to take you out of the world, but GOD can…. David prayed to GOD to light HIS candle…… It is up to GOD to determine that your life be lightened.

¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16 King James Version (KJV)

For you to begin shining in life, there must be a light in your life, and disobeying your parents in plain words turns off the light in your life.

Well, some people claim their parents force them to do what is against the will of GOD: like take up a religion, lie, or just do what is plain wrong. As a Christian, you have decided to follow CHRIST…..

³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

³⁹ Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:37-39 King James Version (KJV)

Nothing should come between you and the #LOVE of CHRIST. Let them know you love them and you are loyal to them, but anything against JESUS and HIS will for your life is a no-go area!

³⁷ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Matthew 22:37 King James Version (KJV)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

² Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;

³ That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

Ephesians 6:1-3 King James Version (KJV)

The secret to a successful life comes from obeying and loving your parents…. I remember when I was young and I would disobey my parents, my dad would always read to me Ephesians 6:1-3, to align me in GOD’S way.  He also reads the following passage to us (his children) sometimes…

⁴ And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Ephesians 6:4 King James Version (KJV)

Saying, "If in any way you've been offended by our actions, let us (our parents) know”.

²⁰ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

1 John 4:20 King James Version (KJV)

There is no way you can claim you love the LORD and not forgive. Learn to obey and love your parents. You cannot claim to love without obedience. Christianity comes with obedience to the last letter.

⁸ My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹ For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

Proverbs 1:9-10

The benefits of listening and adhering to your parents are just endless and it’s a regulation and law of GOD from HIS WORD……
