*CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH HOW THEY COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR PARENTS*
*___________________________________*
*Commit This To Heartโฅ๏ธ * ๐ : โญIsaiah 45:10 AMPC*Woe to him [who complains against his parents that they have begotten him] who says to a father, What are you begetting? or to a woman, With what are you in travail?*

*Prophetic Declaration* ๐ฃ๏ธ: *The spirit of rebellion, stubbornness and disrespect is broken over the lives of our children by the power of the Holy Ghost*

๐ ๐*Spirit Delicacy* ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฅช : Exodus 20:12 Ephesians 6:1-3, Proverbs 15:1
Children are gifts from God, but parents are also ordained by God to nurture, guide and instruct them. In todayโs world, many children speak harshly, rudely and carelessly to their parents without understanding that such communication grieves God and brings sorrow into the home. The Lord expects children to speak with wisdom, humility and honour.
*The Bible warns against disrespectful communication because parents are representatives of authority in the family. Even when correction comes, children must learn to respond calmly and respectfully. Words spoken in anger can wound deeply and destroy peace in the home*.
*RESPECTFUL WORDS BRING BLESSINGS*
The way a child speaks can either attract blessings or correction. God commands children to honour their father and mother. Respectful communication shows maturity, wisdom and godliness. A soft answer turns away wrath, but rude responses stir up anger and strife. Children who answer respectfully will enjoy peace, favour and long life according to Godโs promise. *REBELLIOUS SPEECH BRINGS Reproach. Many children today shout at parents, insult elders or speak proudly. Such behaviour displeases God greatly. Rebellious communication often begins with pride and disobedience in the heart.*
The prodigal son in The Bible spoke and acted disrespectfully toward his father before leaving home. His careless attitude led him into suffering and regret. Children must avoid angry words, mockery and stubborn speech.
*RIGHT COMMUNICATION REFLECTS CHRISTLIKE Character. Jesus Christ showed submission and honour even as a child. He listened, obeyed and communicated with wisdom. Every child of God should imitate Christ in speech and behaviour*. Children should learn to: Speak politely, Listen before answering, Avoid shouting, Say โpleaseโ and โthank youโ, Apologize when wrong
Pray for grace to control their tongue
A child who communicates wisely will become mighty in character, favour and destiny.

*๐ถ Sing Hymn 524*
____________________
1. I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek,
For no one marked an angry word
That ever heard Him speak.
2. I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain-top,
He met His Father there.
3. I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted, was
To any one unkind.
4. I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good,
So that of me it may be said,
"She hath done what she could."
5. I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
"Let little children come to Me."
I would obey the call.
6. But oh, I'm not like Jesus,
As any one may see;
Then, gentle Saviour, send Thy Grace,
And make me like to Thee.
Amen.
