MOTHERS ARE TO BE OBEYED AND HONORED
God demands honor and respect. He established that husbands are to be respected. He also ordained that fathers and mothers who parent on His behalf, should receive honor and respect. The Scriptures command that fathers and mothers are to be obeyed, honored, and feared.
Disrespect toward parents is also disrespect toward God.
When children disobey their parents, they disobey God. When children speak back to their parents and dishonor them, they dishonor God. It is a serious offence. Do not allow your children to get into the habit of talking back to you or being cheeky. If you allow them to do this when they are younger, what will they be like when they are older?
"One of the most dangerous contributions a parent can make toward the spiritual delinquency of his child is a failure to instill within him a wholesome respect for authority. If the parent neglects to set the proper example as an authority figure, or refuses to exercise discipline with love, he might well be rejected as an authority-figure by his child, and thus, by transference, the child ultimately may come to disdain all authority, including the Supreme Authority, God." (From Surveying the Evidence by Wayne Jackson, Eric Lyons and Kyle Butt).
Acknowledge the anointing God has given you as a parent and walk in this anointing and authority.
