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🙏

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Make Me Known!

Make Me Known! Habakkuk 3:2 [2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy. Thanks to Jehovah that were in the second half of the year and in the month of revival.

Mystery of Addition

By Date -
Acts 2:47 … And the Lord added to the church daily … A careful and holy spirit concentrated reading shows that there is a mystery to addition. Addition is triggered by being in Favour with both God and Human. However, there is an action that triggers the state of being in favour with God and Human. Studying Luke 6:38, Luke 2:52 and other scriptures shows that there can’t be addition without favour and there can’t be favour without giving and oneness. The giving is not solely financial, but in all aspects of life. What you give never comes back to you in same quantity and quality. It is increased!   Oneness is not just with people around, but also with thyself. Yes, you can be one with you. When your mind and heart and body is one then there won’t be rivalry even among the members of the body and, the doing and thinking of someone. If you need addition in anything you do, simply give and be one. Give to God and be one with God! Give to human and be one with human!! Give t...
