Mom Said-changed a life

Sunday May 9, 2010 Pastor Gladus Lara

Because of what Mom said it has changed a life. 1 Kings 22:1-2. Josiah was 8 years old and became King. His mother Jedidah trained him very well. There was no other King before or after who turned to the LORD as he did with all his heart, soul, strength in accordance to the law of Moses. They say the character of a child is formed in the early 7 years of his life. Mothers can teach wrong things Gen25:27 Rebekah had favorites and this is not good. Kids will often ask their parents "Who do you like more, me or ...." But parents should love their children the same. Rebekah said, "just do as I say and if there is trouble let the curse fall on me."(Gen 27:13). Rebekah was telling Jacob to cheat and help him to cheat. This is not good, parents we need to be careful of what we are teaching our children, it is a great responsibility.

Jscob was known as (cheater and deceiver) but in Gen 32:22 we read Jacob wrestles with God, he fought and got his name changed to Israel, meaning he struggles with God. Ps 139 Because of Him we changed.
