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🙏

Sheep’s Clothing!

By Date -
Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

By Date -
Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
