OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS
DATE: MONDAY 13TH OF MAY, 2024
THEME: A MOTHER'S TOUCH
MEMORISE: A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. Proverbs 15:20
READ: Proverbs 1:8-9
[8]My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
[9]For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
MESSAGE
Many teenagers have little respect for their mothers. This is probably because mothers are believed to be soft and easily accessible, while fathers are believed to be tough and usually unavailable. Sometimes, in order to command some respect or get a grip on a child, some women tend to yell, especially when they are stressed.
The Bible says that children should honour their fathers and mothers so that they can live long. If your mother is happy with you, I can assure you that your greatness is guaranteed. Most times, when she advises you, she has considered a situation from different angles to know what will be most favourable to you. Her emotions make her a love warrior who would give her all just to see her children comfortable and happy.
I am great today partly because of the actions, decisions, prayers, and prayerful decrees of my mother. Sadly. some people turned out badly because they did not get good words from their mothers. I hope you will do the right thing today to get a blessing from your mother or a mother figure in your life.
ACTION POINT
Buy something special for your mom or a mother figure in your life.
