DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENT.

CHRIST ROYAL AMBASSADORS:

WE ARE REMINDING OURSELVES ONCE AGAIN THAT, THE UP-BRING OF A CHILD TELLS WHAT THE CHILD WILL GROW UP TO BE.

THE WORLD AS IT IS TODAY IS FULL OF EVIL: AND INASMUCH AS WE ARE STILL IN FLESH, IT IS OUR PLACE OF ABODE.

ONLY WE HAVE TO ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD US THROUGH THAT WE DON’T FALL WHEN SATAN CONFRONTS US WITH HIS TROUBLE.

OUR TOP-MOST PRIORITY AS CHRIST-FOLLOWERS MUST BE TO TRAIN OUR CHILDREN THE FEAR OF GOD AND TO IMBIBE IN THEM NOT TO BE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE WORLD.

(PROVERBS 9:-10)

LET US BE FULLY AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF BUILDING OUR FAITH ON A FUTILE GROUND, AND HOPE FORLORNLY FOR ETERNAL SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS WITH AN UNREPENTANT WAY OF LIVING.

WE CANNOT BE THROWING WHATEVER THEY ASKED FOR, ON THEM AND FOLD OUR ARMS AND ALLOW THOSE CARTOON CHARACTERS TO MOLD THEIR LIVES INTO WHAT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD.

WE MUST NOT RELENT IN OUR PRAYERS DAY AND NIGHT, THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS GUIDES THEIR STEPS IN THIS DARK WORLD OF UNGODLINESS.

IT IS OUR DUTY AS PARENTS TO TAKE THEM TO CHURCH AND IMPACT THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD ON THEM WHILE THEY ARE YOUNG, THAT THEY MAY HAVE A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR CREATOR. (PROVERBS, 22:-6)

GALATIANS, 6:-7-8 “DO NOT BE DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED; FOR WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT HE WILL REAP. FOR HE WHO SOWS TO THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION, BUT HE WHO SOWS TO THE SPIRIT REAP EVERLASTING LIFE.”

AS PARENTS IN CHRIST, WHEN OUR SONS ARE WEARING EARRINGS OR TATTOOS, OR PIERCING THEIR BODIES ON OUR WATCH: THAT’S A SIGN OF FAILURE ON OUR PART.

FAILURE OF NOT DOING ENOUGH TO TEACH THEM RIGHT.

WE MUST TEACH THEM TO FOLLOW WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. (DEUTERONOMY, 22:-5)

SOME MAY ARGUE THAT EARRINGS ARE NOT PART OF CLOTHING BUT JEWELRY, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT EARRINGS ARE BASICALLY FOR WOMEN. LEVITICUS, 19:-28: GOD PROCLAIMED, “YOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY CUTTINGS IN YOUR FLESH FOR THE DEAD, NOR TATTOO ANY MARKS ON YOU.” WE ARE NOT PASSING JUDGEMENT OR CONDEMNING ANYONE.

WE ARE TRYING TO BRING OURSELVES BACK ON TRACK. GALATIANS, 6:-1: APOSTLE PAUL PROCLAIMED, “BROTHERS IF ANYONE IS CAUGHT IN ANY TRANSGRESSION, YOU WHO ARE SPIRITUAL SHOULD RESTORE HIM IN A SPIRIT OF GENTLENESS. KEEP WATCH ON YOURSELF, LEST YOU TOO BE TEMPTED.” JAMES, 5:-19-20

“BRETHREN, IF ANY OF YOU DO ERR FROM THE TRUTH, AND ONE CONVERTS HIM; LET HIM KNOW, THAT HE WHICH CONVERTS THE SINNER FROM THE ERROR OF HIS WAY SHALL SAVE A SOUL FROM DEATH, AND SHALL HIDE A MULTITUDE OF SINS.”

EARRINGS, BRAIDED HAIRSTYLES ON MEN, AND TATTOOS ON BOTH MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD (CHILDREN OF GOD) ARE TOTALLY OUT OF WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. AND THIS HAS BECOME A MALIGNANT CANCER THAT MUST BE EXTERMINATED.

IN CONCLUSION: APOSTLE PAUL PROCLAIMED, “AS FOR YOU, BROTHERS, DO NOT GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD. IF ANYONE DOES NOT OBEY WHAT WE SAY IN THIS LETTER, TAKE NOTE OF THAT PERSON, HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM, THAT HE MAY BE ASHAMED. DO NOT REGARD HIM AS AN ENEMY, BUT WARN HIM AS A BROTHER.” (2 THESSALONIANS, 3:-13-15)

PLEASE JOIN IN PRAYER FOR OUR PERSECUTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE BEING PERSECUTED ON A DAILY BASIS ALL OVER THE WORLD DUE TO THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST, MOSTLY IN AFRICA, NIGERIA IN PARTICULAR, WHO HAVE LOST THEIR BELONGINGS AND LOVED ONES THROUGH VIOLENCE PERPETRATED AGAINST THEM BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT; IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYERS FOR LOVE AND UNITY AMONG CHRIST-FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION.
