Hell for Your Children's Sin

By Date -
MEDITATION

TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 3:11-21.
Your children's sins can take you to hell if ...

1. Danger of negligence
a. Eli did not commit what many called sin except that he was negligent in training his sons v13.
b. His "sons made themselves vile" indicating that his sons defiantly refused to do the right and were not excusable. At least Samuel was brought up in the same environment v13. 
c. Eli was judged not just because his children misbehaved but for negligence and refusing to play his part as the father v13. 

2. What training a child entails Proverbs 22:6.
a. "Train up" and not train down. Training should lift the person to a higher ground spiritually, skillfully, socially etc.
b. "Train up" cannot exist without an example to follow. You must show the example. Like father (mother) like children.
c. "Train up a child" indicates that the best time for training is at childhood. Don't postpone it.
d. "Train up a child" shows that it is the responsibility of the parents. Others can only compliment.
e. "...in the way he should go" shows that you must have a picture or goal of what you want the child to be morally, mentally and materially.
f. "...in the way he should go" indicates the teaching process and content (curricula) must be designed and followed towards the goal. Don't leave it to formal schools.
g. "...he will not depart from it" shows that it will bring enduring result if it is done properly and meticulously.
3. Unforgivable sin is real, so be careful
a. God said the iniquity of Eli is unforgivable eternally v14. 
b. What made his sins unforgivable? Will God not forgive if he repented?
a. He was not ignorant of the truth. It was a wilful disobedience v13.
b. He was warned severally but ignored the divine warnings 2:29-34, 3:18.
c. He, through his children,  despised and polluted the cleansing blood sacrifice that could have cleansed his sins 2:29, 3:14. It is only when you have faith and confidence in the blood that you can receive forgiveness.
d. He had gotten to the level where the conviction power of the Holy Spirit had permanently departed from him and he could no longer repent 3:18.
Note Only those who have passed through all the above experiences can sin against the Holy Ghost. Anybody repentant person desiring forgiveness and salvation has not sinned against the Holy Spirit, Hebrews 10: 26-29, John 6:37, Romans 10:13.
Humbly Ask for forgiveness if you have failed God as a child or a parent🙏
Ask for wisdom and diligence that will make you an effective trainer🙏
Passionately present your petitions to God as to the kind divine intervention you want in your family🙏
Pray for every household in the Church that all the members will know and be committed to the Lord experientially🙏

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
