THE FORGOTTEN LAW I don’t think it is good if you read in hurry because this write up is too long I pray you should find time to read slowly, meditate and be blessed. There was once a young man who said, “You know what? I am fed up with the rules. I want to do what I felt to do. Nobody will tell me what to do, where to go, when to come back, when to get up, when to go to bed, I am joining the Marines (military)” And what is the first thing to learn in Marines? RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY. If you are not the type that treats your parent with respect, I am certainly writing to you. Honour you father and mother that your days might be long, the fourth commandment. Are you among those who are in mistake of the past saying ‘had I know I would have listened to my parent’? 80% of our mistakes start from disobedient; it takes lot of patient and humility to understand the value and viewpoint of our parent. Monetary you may be okay or educative than them but their experience cannot be compared. Though we are now in hybrid millennium yet nothing is healthier than peace of mind. The Bible is absolute pure “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise: that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” The breakdown of authority that is creating chaos in our society is not from schools or friends but failure to learn respect for the authority from our parent. Today many are victims of marital problems because of disobedient to parent in the name of love. Nowadays we respect pastors more than our parent. How many times have you bought a gift for your parent? Yet you will not waste time to pay your tithe and offering. How would you prove your love to GOD whom you don’t see and refuse to honour your physical gods (parent). Many people will conclude that ‘my parent have enough; no gift can quantify my love for them, when I become rich my parent will enjoy me’. Realise that the older you become, the closer your parent to the grave. It’s not funny to see a child keeping his arm fold while watch your parent died, after death you squander million for burial ceremony but remember you will suffer for the same cause. In all the Bible verses that talk about these issues concluded with …that you may live long on earth’ which mean that long life is a choice. There are many practical ways to honour our parents—by talking to them regularly, by sending test message, by sending recharge card, notes and gifts, calling to ask about their wellbeing, wishing them happy anniversary, birthday and by spending significant time with them. Have you ever dedicate part of your revenue to buy them special gifts. Without conviction many are using 2 to 3 phones while their parents are struggling to use one. Imagine a child living in a well furnished apartment while the parent is struggling to survive. To some people their parents are their age mate just because they have arrived (wealth); they have no right to dictate for you, whatever your sow you will reap. you have no excuses to question GOD, Jesus said ‘If you love me, you will obey my commandments’ Did you love GOD? I wonder how is so easy for Holy Spirit to speak to you when you don’t have the heart of forgiveness. The natural law of life lies on our mother than anyone else. Your 9 months in her womb, her 3 to 4 days labour, the breast you suck for 1 or 2 years, you share the same blood, water and soul this doesn’t require DNA, no wonder bible said ‘and there are three testifying: the Spirit, and Water, and the Blood: and all of them are in one’. No wonder many are in disarray of life because of the curse of the parent. How can you just conclude and brought a spouse to your parent and said ‘daddy and mummy this is my wife/husband to be’, without asking their consent. You believe you don’t need their advice, without them you can survive. Wedding is for a day; marriage is for life. Can you remember what destroyed Samson? To my finding the first time a lady will value her mother is when she experience the pains of labour. The power to succeed in life is from prayers from our parent. Read about Isaac, Jacob & Esau, David, Solomon and the twelve tribe of Israel (The power of words is in the tongue) curse of Pastor or the prophet can be alter but that of our parents GOD honour it. The bedrock of success in life lays on the blessing we receive from our parent. If you want to succeed in your marriage it starts from respecting your source (parent). We need to be a Christians who fight to live in right relationship with our parents even when the world tells us we are mature enough to decide for ourselves. If you are guilty of this script and your parent are no more you are not condemned it’s not a sin to go and give respect and ask for forgiveness while you ask GOD for total blessing. But if your parent are still alive you’re fortunate, you don’t need to proponed call them now! and give them a nice date, surprise them with package of gifts and let them know how much you love them. Your spouse should not make you hate your parent. Thanks to Mrs. Vivian Iwuamadi for her contributions Brethren pray for us Shalom!
