WARNING: Dishonoring Your Parents Maybe Harmful To Your Health!

by Ferdie Cabiling

As we celebrate Mothers’ Day, let’s remember what these people have to say:

“I have lived over sixty years and I have learned one thing if I have lived nothing else. No man or woman who dishonors father or mother ever prospers.”
-Dwight L. Moody.

“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child.”
-Shakespeare (Idem-1.4.)

“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
People will be… disobedient to their parents, ungrateful…”
-Apostle Paul (2Timothy 3:1-2)

To be able to live out this idea of honoring our parents, we have to find ways to do it! You may say, ”Are you serious? You don’t even know my parents! They may not be worth honoring.” Oh, really? Let me ask you? “Have you been a perfect child?” If you were, then you deserve a perfect set of parents!

Well, Apostle Paul has this commentary on the fifth commandment:

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise — “that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
-Apostle Paul (Ephesians 6.1-3)

So lets take heed of this notice then.

WARNING:
‘Dishonoring your parents maybe harmful to your health!’

Look. If you want things to go well with you, and live longer… show that love, do it… and do it NOW.

‘Dead noses smell no roses.’

So, if your parents are still alive… then show that love, HONOR.
