It’s A Matter of Choice
You Need The Lord

I Chronicles 22:12 , only the Lord give thee wisdom and understanding and give thee charge concerning Israel that thou may keep the Law of the Lord thy God

Matthew 18:4, whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same ia the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven

It’s a matter of choice, man need the Lord and they cannot live prosperously, healthy and wealthy in this world any other way than God’s way. God has given man senses that he may see, hear, believe, receive, and live for him but it is only through God’s eyes. Man must see through the eyes of God as God sees things and live thereby.

Matthew 19:14 suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of Heaven. Adults can take a lesson from this passage because it takes humility to see through the eyes of an angel. An angel in the text refers to children of obedience that hears and obeys God. He that humbles him self shall be great in the kingdom and he that will not, shall not see God’s kingdom.

Children are considered simple and God discerns among the youth and he fills the young man that is void of understanding with understanding. Solomon in Proverbs 10:1 declares that a wise son make a glad father but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother so therefore the foolishness in the heart must be plucked out of a child before he can obtain what it is he need to live and survive life. Just as a child one must be able to hear the instructions given to them before they can understand. When they hear and understand then they will regard reproof, which means they will heed, take into account, or gaze on steadily, give attention to significantly look and see what is being said and get the point what they did and why they are being rebuked for their actions. Once they understand and regard the reproof or rebuke they will be careful not to repeat the action that go them where they are.

Children are so neglected and abused today because the parents, the ones God gave rule to be over them is not so wise themselves. They cause shame to the children because of things they do, they do not set good examples and its not that all of them had bad parents because it is just not true. When parents see children doing wrong and will not correct them or chastise them, they will bring them shame, sorrow, and the parents will have no joy in the children. A foolish child is a grief to their father and bitterness to the one that bear them. Imagine how much more our heavenly Father is grieved.

Another aspect of children of disobedience is how now they curse. They curse their parents, friends, teachers and each other. Cursing is just a thing to them. Cursing is a solemn invocation of supernatural wrath and is evil, violent exclamation of anger, profanity, thing that causes evil or harm and uttering expletive curses. How could a child fix his or her mouth to curse the very ones that brought them into the world? Well guess what, that’s the way it is with God, that adults curse everyday through their disobedience. It is a curse in the face of God when men will willfully disobey their created existence. They fill their lives with sin, uttering profanity consistently throughout everyday, and denouncing him everyday publicly denying him with their acts of disobedience. They are accusing him to his face, condemning him to the world saying that they are his, but instead they are branding and stigmatizing him to be someone else other than who he really is and what he represents to mankind. They are portraying to a lost world a; decry that is not true. They criticize God, they attack his very presence with false testimonies, report evil of him by saying what he is not doing when they themselves cannot receive because of there own mistrust and riotous living, and they betray his trust in them and they may never gain his trust again. If the Christian is doing all of these things, why would a sinner want his God? They profess Christ out of their mouth but entreat him in another way and that is why there are so many grievous saints and likewise so many grievous children in the present time man lives in. The lamps has gone out in many people lives but they think that they are still alright and fit for Heaven, and the sad thing is that they may never get back to the place they once were.

Whosoever will learn through hearing and obeying will keep the law, they are wise, but those that is a companion riotous men will rob, steal and kill, even their own parents, destroy their neighbors and all their goods and do not love their own selves.

Proverbs 30:11, there is a generation that curses their father and doth not bless their mother.

Proverbs 30:17, the eye that mocks at his father, and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

Parents, teachers, and preachers have something to deal with in this generation that man live in today. They are out fishing for fish, looking for money in the mouth instead of being fishermen of souls. The first soul man has a responsibility to is his own, then his children, his children’s seed and then mankind. Its first things first, a good example at home spreads abroad in the hearts of men and women. They wait until they are old and decide that they have not lived yet. The Bible says that the young man, in his youth should let their heart cheer and walk in the ways of his heart and in the sight of his eyes but God would bring judgment against that man, so put away evil from their flesh and remove the sorrow from their hearts because they are doing things that they know is wrong and it is not what they want to do but what others want for them. The way of the world is cool to the foolish in heart and they do not give consideration to the fact that they are carrying seed then and what they do is passed on to the seed that they carry everyday. That is why it is said that the son will do the sin of his father.

If a man or woman will forsake the things that present themselves to them that they are not familiar with and know is wrong, then God will help them. He will help all those that will trust in him. If a man or woman will honor their parents they will obtain long days upon the earth, also they will give honor and obeisance to those that have rule over them although they may not understand. Children has to learn to trust their parents, parents have to trust God and the world would be a better place because then order will come. God is a God of order. He placed everything in the earth in its proper order. He placed everything in the earth in a particular order with a particular purpose and gave man specific commands that they should obey. He also told them to remember their creator in the days of their youth that they obtain not the pleasures of the world. They simply was to obey their parents that all things would be well pleasing to them. How simple a thing, but the seeds were sown before they were born into the earth and when they are born into the world, disobedience is not something they have to learn, it comes natural to them. They entertain evil things and draw closer to the evil things rather than the right things. They have pleasure in sin to do them than remain virtuous. They listen more to their boy (their friends) than their fathers. They feed on the lustful things and follow unrighteousness like its their daily bread. Forget faith in god, all their faith is in who is leading them off wrong, they are the one they pledge their allegiance to. The love they once had for their parents is vanished as if it never was there, they say what’s love got to do with it and if they want love, they search for it in the wrong places. Peace is a word from the beginning that no longer exists in the society of men. There has been a battle between men since Cain and Abel, a man will kill his own brother if his homey say so. There is no soberness in the world today. Man will find themselves and their offspring busting down the doors of Hell, if order is not restored in the heart of man today.

A man was once hot and on fire for God, now cold waiting to be warmed by someone else fire. It is decision time, and man must decide to take Jesus today or eternally lift up their eyes in Hell. God has given mankind wisdom and understanding that they may make conscious decisions and they are without excuse.
