This is the 278th letter:
Text for the day: Ephesians 6:1-3 (King James Version)
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Our Theme for the day: “THE BLUEPRINT” Part 10 (LOVE AT HOME Part 3 Bring back the days)
Our Devotional
With all the unrest in the world today among our youth, many are asking the question, where did we go wrong? It is evident, based upon our series that the cause of our downfall is the lack of respect for the fifth commandment. While this command applies primarily to the honoring of parents, in a broader sense it includes respect for all who are in positions of leadership and authority, 1 Timothy 5:17 / Hebrews 13:17.
If we teach our children how to honor all who are superior in position, senior in age and experience, in thought, speech, attitude, and conduct, we will all have respectable leaders in every country of the world. The lack of respect we see and hear among the leaders of our day, are an outburst of the lack of respect in the home. Our text today reminds us that long life, material prosperity, and success are promised to all, as a reward for obedience to the fifth commandment.
Obedience to parental, and civil authority, sets the ground-work for our obedience to God and His divine law. A study was done of Jews around the world of why they prosper in all areas of their life. The findings where astonishing. The Jews around the world are noted for their respect and honor to parents, and those of old age. This is the noblest contribution of their heritage. It is said of these people that they follow the command of God, of the fifth commandment, not just in word, but in deed, as found in Deuteronomy 5:16 / Leviticus 19:3.
Finally, girls and boys who learn how to honor their parents will respect the lives of others everywhere. But to those who don’t show respect to parental guidance, it is assured that hardship, sickness, and an early death will follow them. We can not over look this command, because “disobedience to parents” is one of the nineteen sins of the last days, 2 Timothy 3:15. It is clear that every sin listed in Paul’s letters written to Timothy, are the direct and or indirect results of the home. The home is ether the incubator of righteousness and good will to all man, or the incubator of sin and the breeding place of crime, and violence.
Parents, you have a heavenly responsibility from God. You are called to nurture, train, and discipline your children, and your children’s, children after the patterned of the LORD, Proverbs 22:6. Remember as parents you are not called to provoke and leave your children to themselves, but work with them for their good, Ephesians 6:4 / Colossians 3:21. May you be blessed by God in the training of your children, that all may have love at home.

Today is a great day to praise the LORD for the things He is doing around the world through all Ministries. Although the work of spreading the gospel in different countries is moving ahead by human hands, it is not advancing as it should advance, yet, that which has been accomplished affords reason for gratitude and grounds for encouragement. To add to this great work of finishing the work of God is this ministry (Garden Ministry). We need your help; more and more people are seeking for Garden Ministry to be translated into their language. If you would like to translate this devotional and send it off to your friends in different parts of the world, please do so. You have our blessing.
