THE BIBLE SPEAKS DAILY (29092023).

TODAY'S TOPIC: 
TRAIN THEM, DON'T GIVE UP.

TODAY'S VERSE: Proverbs 22:5‭-‬6 NKJV

"...Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; He who guards his soul will be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it..."

 In today’s world, Drug Abuse has become the most common thing, and many youths are destroying their lives by getting addicted to drugs. It's very important to be proactive as Parents, and sensitize your child on the subject of drug abuse.

 Drug abuse is ruining the lives of many, and putting their future in a great darkness of drug addictions and overdoses. 

The question many Parents are faced with is "what can I do as a person, to combat this enormous problem?" 
For the addict or the family of an addict, this issue is one of many that confront us. Getting help from rehab, and groups that deal with addiction can help. 
However, maybe we need to look at this another way. Let us raise our children according to the christian values and virtues. If we raise them according to God’s Word, then we have a better chance against fighting addictions and all the destructive behaviors that goes with it. 

Who wants to be held in bondage to the slavery of addiction? Matthew 6:24 tells us we can’t serve two masters. Let’s teach our children about God the Father, and Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit our Comforter. 
Then, our Children will have the necessary scriptural wisdom, knowledge and understanding as tools to use in navigating through all the dangerous alleys of this perverse and adulterous World, as they get older. To avoid becoming slaves to addictions, our children must learn how to fight addictions, and we just need to help them, so thank sin do no control their exploring minds. 

Our Children's heart must be filled with the Word of God, from the day of their beginning, and we must let the Holy Spirit be the one who does that with a life of peace and assurance, by the love of God the Almighty.

Dear Parents, "do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord."


TODAY'S PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, please help us in raise our children in Your Holy Word. Grant us the courage to accept our failures as Parents, and the boldness to give our children the second chance to live a Holy life free from the bondage of slavery to addictions. 
Kindly, heal the sick and provide for the needy around us.

Amen!

CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS.

              CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS. By: Benson Omole. If there is anything that will spark a spontaneous debate, among believers, if not an outright argument, it is a discussion involving politics. As followers of Christ, how should we view politics, what should be our attitudes and our involvements with politics? In these contemporary times we live in today, it is increasingly becoming difficult to differentiate between an active Politician, and a faithful Christian! Small efforts shall be made to define what Christian life and values are. Why are we saved, and our responsibilities, now that we are saved? We shall also examine few classical definitions of politics, and its theories.  Readers must be able to decide whether to enter in “by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leads unto life, and few are they that find it.” –Jesu

The Origin of Israel.

ORIGIN OF ISRAEL. The origin of Israel is rooted in ancient history and has complex historical, religious, and political dimensions. It's important to understand that the topic is multifaceted, but I can provide a brief overview: 1. Ancient History: The region that is now Israel has a long history dating back thousands of years, with various indigenous peoples and empires controlling the area. In ancient times, the land was inhabited by Hebrews, Canaanites, Philistines, and others. 2. Biblical History: The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) contains accounts of the Israelites' conquest of the land under figures like Moses and Joshua. It describes the establishment of the Kingdom of Israel. 3. Roman Conquest: In 63 BCE, the Roman Empire conquered the region, leading to the dispersion of Jews and the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. 4. Modern Israel: After centuries of Jewish diaspora, the Zionist movement emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the reest

The Truth About Christmas

The Truth About Christmas                            George G. Pennock. As we enter the season of the year when many of our friends and neighbors are observing the birthday of Christ, it is appropriate that we give some time to a careful study of Christmas. In this article we will attempt to give you a comprehensive picture of the truth about Christmas. Some of the material presented has been adapted from James L. Dennison's booklet, "The History Of Christmas" and Eris B. Benson's work, "The Question Of Christmas." We lay no claim to originality. Have you ever stopped and thought about the origin and history of Christmas? We are prone to take so many things for granted! Where did Christmas come from? Who authorized it? Many of us will quickly answer that it was ordained by God, and originated when Christ was born. But are you sure of this? Could you prove it from the Bible? Permit us to deal with some of the traditions which most of us have taken
