HONORING YOUR PARENTS

 Proverbs 20:20 (NKJV) says, "Whoever curses his father or his mother, His lamp will be put out in deep darkness.


This is a serious warning from God. Many people are talented, skilled, and full of great ideas. They were born with special gifts from God. But sadly, some of these people live without success or peace. Why? One big reason is dishonoring their parents.

God gave your parents a special position in your life. They are not just the ones who raised you—they carry spiritual authority. This authority allows them to bless your life or speak words that can affect your future. When you dishonor them, you are fighting the order God set for your destiny.

The Bible says that if you curse your parents, your “light” will be put out. That light represents your unique abilities, your purpose, or the favor God placed on you. If you choose to disrespect your parents, that light will stop shining. You may lose your way in life when you need your gift the most. In your prime—when everything should be working—you may face shame, failure, or loss.

Many people are in total darkness today. They are confused, stuck, and don’t understand why nothing is working. It may be because of something they said or did to their parents in the past.

If you want your light to keep shining, honor your parents. Even if they were not perfect, respect them. Forgive them. Bless them. Be kind. Your future depends on it.

Prayer: Lord, help me honor my parents so my light will never be put out.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
