THE VALUE OF PARENTS

November 14, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Proverbs1:8 My child, listen when your father corrects you Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. 9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace

and be a chain of honor around your neck. NLT

There are two types of parents a believer should have and they are:

(1) Biological parent

(2)Spiritual parent.

Your biological parent brought you into this world, they are the first people that starts the process of educating you either spiritually or morally even academically.

God places a high premium on good parenting. Some have the privilege of being born into good and Godly home but others do not. God made a unique provision of solid parenting for His children, he want us all to learn from our spiritual parents. Do not be a believer that is not accountable to spiritual authority. There are so many bastards today spiritually, they don't sit to learn under those God has placed above them spiritually. They roam from one church to the other.

I have taken my time to see why some Christians fail especially in ministry, one of it is that they rebel against their spiritual parents and do not take to instruction. Those that recognize the place of spiritual fatherhood and comply, they succeed in any meaningful endeavour. Obey your spiritual and biological parent's instructions that are in tandem with God's word, stop roaming around without being accountable to someone.

Action point

I receive the grace to submit, learn and heed to the wise and godly instruction from my parents In Jesus name.
