Dear reader, it is a curse to dishonour your mother or father. Therefore, never use abusive language towards your parents.
It is one of the Ten Commandments of God.
To begin with, our Heavenly Father considers parents so important in our lives that one of the Ten Commandments is dedicated to them.
Listen to what the written word of God says in Exodus 20:12:
12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Exodus 20:12
This commandment of God implies that you will be cursed if you dishonor your father or mother and the end result will be your untimely death. If you don’t repent, you risk ending up in hell.
God blesses you using your parents.
Second, we should always consider our parents as channels through which God blesses us. In fact, we may consider our parents as God’s agents here on earth. Therefore, when your parents bless you, it is actually God who has blessed you.
Similary, if your parents curse you for a valid reason, it is actually God who has cursed you.
Jacob’s words upon his sons came to pass.
On this subject, if you want to understand the power of a parent’s words, read Genesis chapter 49, where Jacob prays for his sons. You will find that every word prophesied by Jacob for each of his twelve sons came to pass.
Always strive to get blessings from your parents rather than curses.
Therefore, it is better to always strive to earn your parents’ blessings rather than their curses. You can earn these blessings by showing them respect, helping them financially, sending them gifts, contributing to their medical expenses, and helping them in any other way.
What if the parent was wrong?
Sometimes a parent is wrong. In such a situation, it is best to present the problem to God in your prayers. One way or another, God will show you how to handle such a difficult situation.
