TOPIC: Honour Your Mother [Open Heaven for Teens 27 March 2022]
MEMORISE: A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. Proverbs 15:20
READ: Proverbs 1:8-9
- My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
- For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 5:17-39, Joshua 19-20
MESSAGE:
Many people respect their fathers but disrespect their mothers probably because mothers are always warm and welcoming, easily accessible, unlike fathers who are rarely around. This is a lack of wisdom because mothers labour as much as fathers over their children. Besides, Ephesians 6:2 does not say you should honour only your father, it says honour your father and mother so that your days can be long.
Mothers play a vital role in the lives of their children. For instance, Moses’ mother, at a time Pharaoh gave an order that every male child born by the Israelites should be killed, set up her son to be raised in the palace. This act set Moses on the path of greatness. Today, many young people have missed greatness in life because they refused to heed the wise counsel of their mothers. Our memory verse for today refers to anyone who despises his/her mother as a fool. This is serious! Borrow a leaf from me; I am where I am today because of the prayers of my mother. Whenever I did something that pleased her, she would say to me, whenever you call on one, many would answer.
REFLECTION:
Based on our memory verse, are you wise or foolish?
HYMN 2: God Give Us Christian Homes
- God give us Christian homes
Homes where the Bible is loved and taught,
Homes where the Master’s will is sought,
Homes crowned with beauty Thy love has wrought;
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes
Homes where the father is true and strong,
Homes that are free from the blight of wrong,
Homes that are joyous with love and song;
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes
Homes where the mother in queenly quest,
Strives to show others Thy way is best,
Homes where the Lord is an honoured guest;
God give us Christian homes
God give us Christian homes! - God give us Christian homes
Homes where the children are led to know
Christ in His beauty who loves them so,
Homes where the altar fires burn and glow;
God give us Christian homes;
God give us Christian homes!
