OPENING PRAYER: Father, let my children be greater than me.

MEMORY VERSE: “And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:1-4

1. Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

3. That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

4. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: God is a God of multiplications and He hates stagnation or a cyclical life. What do we mean? We meant when a father was in a particular spot and the child or children came and remained the same spot as the father, as the father, God dislikes it with passion. Conversely, God will rather encourage a child or children to be greater than their father in all Godly ramifications. For example; Genesis 24:35 says that Abraham was great, while Genesis 26:13 says that Isaac was very great and Jacob according to Genesis 30:43 was exceedingly great. From today the example will be the portion of your family in Jesus Mighty Name.

EXT REVIEW: EPHESIANS 6:1-4

i. We must honour our father and mother because it is a commandment from God.

ii. Father must not provoke their children to wrath.
