TOPIC: Parental Consent [Open Heaven for Teens 10 February 2022]
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
- 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!

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
