Hi Family and Friends of PL07,
Blessing to You!
Mother's Day Month continues on with this lesson. We are still in Review of the Big Ten Again, the Ten Commandments:
Living Holy unto the Lord. Just a quick review of the previous commandments we have studied so far:
1. Thou shalt not have any other gods before God.
2. Thou shalt not worship idols or graven images (Idol and Pagan
Worship).
3. Thou shalt not take God's Name in Vain. (He has over 400 Names
combined in Hebrew, Jewish, Aramaic, and Christian Communities.
4. Honor the Sabbath, and Keep it Holy.
5. Honor thy Father and Mother, so life will go well with you, and you will have a Long Life. This is the only Commandment that
comes with a promise.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Question posed: Why is this 5th commandment the only Commandment with a Promise of Long Life?
Father, God could have made any other of the previous 4 Commandments with a Promise, but He did not.
This 5th Commandment comes with a twofold agenda. If or when children are taught at an early age to Honor and Obey their parents; they are more likely to Honor and Obey God, Himself.
As shared before in the Jewish Community, classes are taught and given to the children to learn Honor, Reference, and Obedience to their parents. God has watched over His Word within this community of Long Life and Prosperity. Many children today have not been taught to Honor, Respect, and Obey their parents, grandparents, and adults as a whole. Let us continue to pray for our youth.
In the Genesis, we read of about Methuselah, who lived 969 years on this earth (Genesis 5:22-27). There were other Fathers in Genesis and Exodus, like Noah and Abraham, who God had blessed with long life. Why? They were faithful and obedient to God, and He honored them with long life.
Psalm 91, shares with us about the Protection from God who believe in Him, trust in Him and honor Him. We read the following in Verses 14-16, "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known My Name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. With Long Life will I satisfy him, and show him My Salvation."
These are wonderful and great Promises given by Father give to His Believers. It is now true for us through Christ Jesus. Jesus is our Salvation. Jesus has promised us the Zoe Life, the God Kind of Life in John 10:10, and Everlasting Life from Father comes to us from Jesus, according to John 3:16. Hallelujah, Glory to God!
This applicable to those who are choosing to live a Holy Life unto God that these Promises are made available to us from Christ Jesus. Remember for everybody, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life ( See John 14:6). We learn more details about Everlasting Life in the Book of Revelation, Chapters 19-22.
Second Question Posed: How do you honor and obey parents who have treated you badly all your life?
Joyce Meyer share the best example of an abusive father, who hurt her sexually, and he was an alcoholic. It took her a long time to work on Forgiveness within herself first, and then towards him. God worked on her and in her with her father. She was able to lead her father to Jesus to receive Salvation. They ended up having a workable relationship through all the horrible things that he had done to her.
Joyce let God do the work in her so that He could do the work on her father through Jesus. Only God can fix it and make it better. You have go through counseling sessions to get the healing that you need, but to have life, a long life in the Lord; you have to give all that hurt, pain, and anger to the Lord through Jesus.
Jesus will meet you right there with the Holy Spirit, and began to transform your life so that you are entitled to receive all the Promises that God has for you now and forever. Don't let satan keep you spiritual, mental, emotional bondage which can show up in your physically. Get Free, and Stay Free in Christ Jesus (See John 8:32-36).
By Honoring and Obeying our Parents, we are able to Honor our Heavenly Dad better, and receive the Promise of a Good, Long Life now and forever. God keeps watch over His Promises and performs them. His Word will not come back to Him unfulfilled or void.
Live Long and Strong in the Lord today and always!
