00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily. 17 February 2016 Most children are cursed nowadays. Most children are cursed nowadays, brothers and sisters.
00:14 It’s a very frightening statement, isn’t it? Most children are cursed nowadays. So how do we know this? How do I know this? Brothers and sisters, first of all, let’s go and see what the Bible says. Proverbs 3017.
00:27 3017. All the Scriptures today I’m reading were amplified. The eye that mocks a father and scorns a mother.
00:36 The ravens of the valley will pick it out and the young voices will devour it. The eye that mocks the father and scorns her mother. Listen to your father.
00:47 This is Proverbs 23:22. Listen to your father who sired you, who fathered you. And do not despise a mother when she is old.
00:56 Proverbs 18:9. My son, hear the instruction of your father and do not reject the teaching of your mother. For there are garlands of grapes on your head and chains of ornaments around your neck.
01:12 Exodus 21:17. Whoever curses his father or his mother or treats them contemptuously must be put to death. Brothers and sisters, let’s look at some of the Scriptures and understand this.
01:25 For instance, my son heard Proverbs 1:8:9. My son heard the instruction of the father and the teaching of their mother. Instruction means a command.
01:33 Your father is giving a command and the teaching of your mother. It’s a garland of grace. There’s grace for you.
01:40 Garland of grace on your head for the child that girls and grades and change the ornaments of gold around your neck. Wealth also comes. That’s what the Bible says.
01:49 Now remember Old Testament was written to the Jews. The people who want to follow God want to follow Father God. God’s children.
01:59 Father God’s children are the Jews who are following God according to the commandments that Father God had laid down in the Old Testament. This was not written to the Gentiles or unbelievers or non Jews. It was written for the Jews who are now
remember also not all Israel is of God.
02:17 The Bible is clear. Not all Israel of God. And there are false Jews and all that.
02:22 So these are for the true Jews. Written for the true Jews. Now what does the New Testament say? Ephesians 6:1 3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord that is accept their guidance and discipline as his representative, as God’s representative, as
Jesus Christ representative.
02:43 For this is right for obedience teaches wisdom and self discipline to relationships, to honor, esteem, value as precious Esteem them highly value as pleasure, as honor. Honor means. Esteem them highly value as precious.
03:01 Your father and your mother. And be respectful to them. This is the command.
03:06 First command without promise. This is only first command with the other command with a promise. But it’s the first command without promise.
03:12 So that it may be well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth. Long life includes prosperous life, good life. Prospering in everything, not just money.
03:23 Prospering everything nowadays we think is money. It’s not prospering in character. Prospering in helping people.
03:30 Prospering in people looking up to you. Prospering in becoming the kind of child of God you ought to be. Prospering in help helping people.
03:38 Prospering, making peace between man and God, bringing the gospel. Prospering everything that needs to be settled. That is a guarantee by God.
03:50 Now, Leviticus 29. If anyone curses his father or mother, he shall most certainly be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother.
04:00 His blood is on him. That means even if put to death, the blood is on the child. That is, he bears full responsibility for consequences that we are talking about.
04:11 Old, you know, this is not a child without understanding. It’s not a child without a children of understanding. That’s why when he’s father or mother is put to death, he’s not a child without understanding.
04:23 Mature child means adult, semi, almost adult. In Israel they will be 16, 17. I do not know the actual age that when they decide what is the mature childhood of understanding.
04:37 Now, if anyone fails to provide for his own and especially for his own family, he has denied the faith. And it works as an unbeliever. That means if a child grows up and the parents are old and do not want to provide for them, he has denied the
faith.
04:52 And worse than an unbeliever. Okay, now, if a man. Deuteronomy 21:18 to 20:18 to 21:21 18:21.
05:03 If any man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or his mother, when they reprimand and discipline him, he will not listen to them. Then his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the
elders of his city. At the gate of his hometown.
05:21 They shall say to the elders of his city, this son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.
05:31 See, he is old enough. Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death. So you shall remove the evil from among you and All Israel will hear of it and be afraid there in the Old Testament, anyone who is stubborn and rebellious as a son doing
all these things, the parents have taken them to the gate and they are stoned to death.
05:52 Of course now in the New Testament is a dispensation of grace. It’s a time of grace. So this Old Testament exercise does not, is not allowed.
06:03 People do not physically stone under Jesus Christ. Nobody stones physically, anybody, no stoning of death and all that all over. It’s all Old Testament.
06:13 In the New Testament, the Gentiles earlier, the non Jews also given a chance a a promise to come to Jesus and be saved. Now brothers and sisters, we look at these scriptures, all the scriptures point to one thing. If any child is grown and not
obeying, rebellious, stubborn, dishonest their parents.
06:38 Dishonest means not holding them in esteem and value as precious, not value them as precious is finally stubborn and rebellious. Means of first stone to death, not honouring means. Now there is no promise because in Ephesians 6:1:3 clearly says if
you do not honor your father or mother that is holding them in high esteem, holding them in high value, then your life will not be long and it will not be well with you.
07:09 Now but before that in Ephesians 6:1 says, Children obey your parents in the law. Now let’s deal with that verse. Now first of all, the strategy of the devil is this, is that Satan can actually get the children cursed under one of these
commandments.
07:24 Of course not the old commandment. Old command applies, but the stoning of death doesn’t apply. So what does Satan do? The child gives the devil a foothold and the devil takes control.
07:36 What we sow we will reap. That law is still there. Then the devil takes control of the children and damages them so badly.
07:44 Damages them so badly. Now here. Obey your parents in the Lord.
07:47 Let’s see that. Why? Because parents not in the Lord may not be doing what the Lord is saying. They will be doing what their own heart and mind is saying, their own desires.
07:58 And our hearts are treacherously wicked. Even when we have come to the Lord, remember our hearts are treacherously wicked. And this has to be renewed, changed.
08:07 Change the heart by renewing the mind and the spirit. The heart must be changed. How? Again I repeat, Jesus always says, I say and say again.
08:16 So I say and say again in line with Jesus words that you have to meditate on the word of God. Look at the word of God. Think about it.
08:23 Meditate against your conduct, especially when you’re lying down to sleep. Think about the day that’s over. Think of what you have done wrong, settle it.
08:31 And then when you meditate like this, the word of God will finally change you. The Holy Spirit will convict you before you go towards any of these sins. Now, brothers and sisters, parents also, now there are also false Christians.
08:46 There are Christians who are ignorant. And then they continue doing they do not have the power to cast out. They do not know that you can cast out these evil spirits in the name of Jesus Christ.
08:56 You can pray over your children in the name of Jesus Christ casting out every spirit. Rebellion and stubbornness when the child is sleeping can do that. Now there’s the word of God which says, teach him my ways and when he grows old, he will not
depart far from it.
09:12 Now doesn’t mean he will not depart. He will not depart far from it. And he will be brought back, and Jesus Christ will bring him back.
09:20 But remember, it will take time. Because what Jesus already says in his own, he will not depart far from it. So therefore, when you taught him the ways, taught the child the ways, taught the girl the ways, daughter ways, and then you leave them to
the Lord when you cannot control them anymore, when they have their own authority, they have to decide on their own.
09:39 You have to leave them to the Lord. And the Lord will deal whichever way necessary to bring the soul back and save the soul. Let’s leave it to the Lord Jesus Christ.
09:48 You don’t keep looking, looking, looking and saying, this happened, that happened, what happened, what happened? Then you don’t trust Jesus Christ and the devil will take another advantage over you. Now brothers and sisters, here, what is Satan’s
strategy here? To make them get cursed. How to get cursed? Make them disobey the parents in the Lord.
10:07 Now this commander in the Lord, that means a parent will not ask the son or daughter to do anything that is against the Lord. If the parent or daughter is asked, if the son or daughter is being taught by the parent to go against Jesus Christ’s word,
then the child shouldn’t obey the Lord. Because the parents, the parents are not in the Lord.
10:26 There are parents who stop people, the children, from even listening to the word of God. I have cases like that because they are unhappy with some issues that they don’t want to agree with the word of God. So they don’t want the children of God to
listen to the word of God.
10:40 Actually, what nonsense. The battle is with the Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ knows and the Lord Jesus Christ will take action on these parents.
10:48 So these kind of parents, we are not Talking here we are talking about the parents who were really love the Lord and wants to serve the Lord and dedicate the children to the Lord. When you dedicate the child to the Lord, that means you left to the
Lord Jesus Christ. Left to the Lord Jesus Christ.
11:04 Not just dedicate, dedicate and then actually you are interfering. You are interfering. I used to do that initially and after that later.
11:11 It took me a couple of years actually to come to knowledge of this truth now and then later of an honor. I used to fall into the gain trap, get involved in the thing after, say I left it to the Lord Jesus Christ and then I will intervene. So we all
make these mistakes.
11:27 But Jesus Christ and his mercy sees us through. Sees us through, brothers and sisters. So when we have gone wrong, I run to Jesus Christ and say, sorry Lord Jesus, that action that I did, I went and intervened.
11:39 I didn’t trust you. That means I’m sorry Lord, make me trust you in the name of Jesus Christ. I command my heart and mind to trust Jesus Christ completely in the respect of my children, in the issues of my children.
11:49 But I teach them your ways because that’s what we must do. Must teach them your ways. Now when parents don’t teach them the Lord’s ways and the children begin to go do wrong things, they end up cursing being cursed because they won’t honor you.
12:04 Now what’s happening, the television, the friends in the school, the world itself, all this, the spirit of rebellion comes on the children. All this spirit of rebellion comes from the children. And then the children become rebellious and don’t honor
the parents.
12:20 They disobey their parents. Even when the right thing is said, what happens then? A curse comes. Sometimes a curse is generational.
12:27 Especially if parents who are themselves don’t love each other as the Lord has dictated. Fathers and mothers don’t love each other as the Lord Jesus Christ has dictated on Kung fu and Horman, then death will also go into the children. Now when this
goes so the devil, as far as the devil is concerned, it’s a great victory for him.
12:46 Because when the children accursed, he can deal with them any which way. Because a foothold is given and the devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Swallow.
12:57 So it is a parent’s duty to teach them the ways of the lord Jesus Christ. 1, 2. It’s a parent’s duty to show them that if you do not honor, esteem and value the father and mother highly and be respectful to them, the commandment of promise is this.
13:15 If you Honor your parents, your father and mother, then it may be well with you and you have a long life on earth. This has to be spoken into them. This has to be told to the children.
13:25 Then it has entered their spirit, entered their heart. Then the Holy Spirit will begin to convict them, but also tell them the curse that comes because we don’t honor. Then it will not be well with you.
13:37 One, you will not have a long life. Two, so when it’s not well with you, then you tell them if you do not honor, do not respect what the father and mother tell you. You have to teach them that the parents have to teach.
13:48 You have to tell them. Oh, when you tell them, some parents think, oh, I’m using this scripture to manipulate scripture, to manipulate my children, to obey me. No, this is a command of God.
13:48 You have to teach them. You have to teach them because you have to save them. You have to protect them.
14:04 How? Keep them safe by giving them the word of God. Then they understand. When they are not respectful to you, when they do not esteem you highly or precious, then they know it will not be well with them.
14:18 When things begin to go wrong, then the Holy Spirit can tell them, look here. See? You dishonor your father and mother. Now things are going wrong.
14:25 Now. It happened to me when I came to the Lord Jesus Christ. Then the spirit of God convicted me that I was dishonoring my father.
14:33 So many years. Yes, I was caring for my father. He was with us.
14:36 My wife was carrying. My children were caring. But what I was doing, I get angry.
14:40 I use four letter words on him and all. And then when I realized, really, this is one of the issues. All the trouble that came upon me, one of the issues is because I have dishonored my father.
14:50 Mother passed away long ago, when I was just about 17, but now 18 years now. My father, we cared for him, but at the same time I was dishonoring him. Then the Holy Spirit convicted me.
15:04 I prayed and asked forgiveness from him. Forgive me, Father. I’m sorry.
15:08 I died for all kinds of things he said. You know what he said? Nothing, son. Nothing.
15:13 He just said, no, what? My father said nothing. F. It’s okay.
15:17 It’s okay. Can you imagine? Can he imagine? I went off with tears in my heart, tears by high fevers. Because my father, good Father, good father.
15:30 Then what happened after that? Because he was old, he was already 80 something, 70 something at the time when I was born again, then 80 something. And then he will talk. Because his mind growing.
15:39 He’ll talk some nonsense when he talks some nonsense. I say, sorry, Father. Sorry, Father.
15:43 Run off because I don’t want to stand there and argue with him and quarrel with him and dishonor him and bring a curse upon myself. Yeah, I can be the Lord. When I break the commandments, the commandments will operate.
15:51 I can be in the Lord. I can even be a servant. I was already pastoring in that time.
16:01 But I go and break these commandments, the curse will come. So I then run away. Sorry, Pastor Paul.
16:08 Then another time, Jesus sent me to stop him and say, pa, I’m coming here not as your son, but coming here as a child, as the servant of the Most High God. I’m coming as a pastor to you and explaining to you that time. I’ll go and do.
16:20 Brothers and sisters, make sure your children are knowing the scripture. Very important. Repeat this again and again until it goes into their heart.
16:27 Because this is how the devil curses the children and takes them away. Messes their lives. Messes up their lives.
16:34 Brothers and sisters, please, please teach them this commandment. Teach them, warn them, caution them. This is your.
16:41 They don’t like to hear lama you tell them. You tell them repeatedly until you say, look here. You will not be well with you if you do not honor and respect your father and mother.
16:50 But you fathers and brothers also must now do the right thing in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
