Anointed Profit for August 2023
Parents
1. Children must honour parents
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death (Matt 15:4).
2. Children must not neglect parents
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightiest he profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition (Matt 15: 5-6).
3. Man ordained to leave father and mother and cleave to wife
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (Matt 19:5).
4. No disciple may love father and mother more than Christ
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me (Matt 1:35-37).
5. Service to God must come before parents, wife, or family
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple (Luke 14:26).
6. Those who forsake home and parents for gospel’s sake will be compensated
Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting (Luke 18:29-30).
7. Parents not always responsible for afflictions of children
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? (John 9:2).
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (I Timothy 4:15).
