Open Heaven For Teens Thursday 10 February 2022 Daily Devotional was written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
TOPIC: Parental Consent
MEMORISE: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Ephesians 6:1
READ: Ephesians 6:1-3 (KJV)
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 26:1-75 , Leviticus 10-12
MESSAGE:
In many parts of the world, an eighteen-year-old is considered an adult who can take decisions and certain responsibilities. You may feel you should be allowed to do whatever you like because you’re now of age but I want to enjoin you to be careful as any uncontrolled freedom may land you in trouble.
In some parts of the world, the government says a child should be allowed to choose his/her preferred gender or doesn’t need his parents’ consent when he/she wants to make any decision but this is clearly a scheme of the devil for the end-time. The aim of this is to fill the world with confusion and cause divisions in the home which naturally should be the first place from which a child gets good training.
My dear, don’t be carried away by the destructive wisdom of this world. Seeking your parents consent over important issues of your life is a way of showing them honour. My children used to inform me about their school trips, vacations, et cetera so that I could pray along with them. Never underestimate the covering your parents have over you. Honour them by seeking their consent before taking decisions.
Key Point:
When you honour your parents, you will also receive honour.
HYMN 2: God Give Us Christian Homes

Strives to show others Thy way is best,
