MFM Daily Devotional 26 January 2022 MESSAGE

Parenting is a responsibility given by God. Parents are going to account to God on how they discharged this divine responsibility. As God’s stewards, they will also be rewarded
accordingly.

God is not man, and He has a just reward system. He punished Eli and took the priesthood from his lineage for failing to correct his sons, Hophni and Phineas, who desecrated God’s temple and took what belonged to Him. Eli was a very weak and permissive parent. He spared the rod of discipline and spoilt his children. God expected him to teach, demonstrate and enforce His commandments to his family and others in Israel. Eli did not. He incurred God’s wrath and fierce judgement.

Beloved, Eli’s misdeed is recorded for our learning and adjustment. How are you faring in your parental responsibilities? Are the biological and spiritual children God put in your care truly in Christ today? Perhaps you are unaware of their spiritual journey and placement. That could be because you think that your responsibility stops at providing them food and shelter. Hence, you regard their spiritual growth and well-being as secondary or unimportant. if this is your state of mind, you are completely wrong. You are responsible for ensuring that the children and wards in your care are born again, discipled, serving God and heaven-bound primarily and that their physical needs are provided secondarily.

Parental failure is a major concern to God and man today. We need to arrest the ugly
consequences of this error that we see in the Church and societies nowadays. Christian
children, teenagers and youths can hardly be differentiated from unbelieving ones today. The key points of difference should be their values and fruit. Parents have failed in these areas. The enemy has turned many youths (Christians and non-Christians) to slay queens and kings, drug addicts and sex perverts. Academic and moral decadence are fast becoming the order of the day. This is nothing but parenting failure.

Teenagers and youths spend their valuable time on frivolities such as social media (relationship and date sites, worldly films sites, and so on) at the expense of their studies and the pursuit of academic excellence. There is need for parents to arise and salvage the younger generation to the glory of God.
