Isaiah 1
19 If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land.
Deuteronomy 4
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Are you doing your duty? When God calls you to propagate the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ are you obedient?
God says that if you don’t obey Him He will forsake and destroy you. It is a terrible word – God says this to you, young man and young girl.
You can work from morning till night but if God is not with you you will be destroyed. Maybe that’s why your children are disobedient because you don’t obey the voice of the Lord. You find yourself powerless to train your children in God’s way because of your disobedience to God. He is no longer with you.
That’s why it’s so essential that we walk with God and obey Him. When God speaks to you today are you going to obey Him or push it aside?
Dear brothers how shall we stand in front of God if we don’t bring up our children in the fear of God.
You husband is responsible for your wife and children. Eve sinned and ate of the forbidden tree but God called Adam to account first, “Adam where are you?” Do you bring up your children in the fear of God?
Do you want God to destroy you and your daughters to bring illegitimate children into this world? It is a disgrace if we bring such evil children into this world.
It takes time to teach your children. How many hours have you spent with your daughters to be godly daughters and your sons to walk in the fear of the Lord? It is never too late – start today if you haven’t done it before.
We teach our children for thirteen years to attain and write their matric exam. How many days in those thirteen years did you spend with your children to teach them the fear of the Lord?
Do not put money, honour and position first in your life.
God says that if you obey Him He will bless you but if you disregard Him He will destroy you. He wants to give life to you again, if only you would return to Him today.
