How to Get along with Your Parents!

Just to refresh your memory. ;)

Rev. Mike Constantine 19/7/2009

Why must we get along with our parents?
Ephesians 6
-we will have long and good life.
- in God you can grow & learn.

-You need freedom to discover your personality or who you are.
but never abuse your freedom. :)

- as responsibilities increases, parental control decreases.
You desire for more freedom? Then, show more responsibility in the way you handle your studies, life choices and etc.

-when freedom are abused, parents exert MORE control.
that is why, when given freedom do not abuse it

William tell Mom- Youtube


-Make wise decision & live with the consequences.

"Parental control becomes parental influence"
When we're taught about things or being restrained from somethings since we were young it will be a lifestyle as we grow older.

-style is a matter of choice


1. Honor: respect, appreciate
Show them respect for who they are

2. Submit: do not rebel
Recognising their authority

"Cleaning this gun" by Rodney Youtube



Girls must understand that they are in more danger than the guys are. Your parents are not protective or sexist. They just love you very much. :)

3. Appeal, do not assault
Learn to speak nicely to them and not be harsh. Think bout it, wud they listen to you more when you run about shouting and slamming the door or when you speak to them in a good manner?

4. Love, helping them helps you.

5. Encourage
encourage them in times like this.
in their work, let them know that you care
appreciate them not only on mothers/fathers day
they work hard to raise you up :)

6. Forgive
-if you let unforgiveness mount up in your heart, you will turn bitter.

MOST IMPORTANT
NEVER LIE
"How can anything be good for you, if you have to lie to your parents about it?"

Have a great week ahead! It is going to be an awesome week amen!?
I pray for strength to be upon you and that God will continue to minister to you throughout the week!

Challenge yourself to make a difference!

Remember to fast and pray! :)

Till the next concurrent!
