Topic: HOUSEHOLD CHORES
Biblical Text: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”. [Proverbs 22:6]
Growing up, I had an uncle that stayed in our house. He used to complain that he does virtually all the work in the house. Sometimes, he would say my father was not caring enough; why should he be made to work so hard? After a while, he travelled to Lagos, Nigeria to start a business. After about a year in Lagos, Nigeria, he came back to check on us briefly. Then he opened up to tell my father that all he learned in our house had been very useful to him in his new environment. He thanked my father for the trainings that made him become a man. There are some parents that do not allow their children to do any house hold chores at home since they have house help. Some brag among their friends about the laziness of their children who do not engage in any domestic chores. I met a man-a servant who told me that in the house he was working; he must be on stand by and cook for the children anytime they are hungry. One of them was an 18 year old girl who did not know how to prepare anything….even noodles. To allow your children to do household chores is training them to be responsible adults and parents in the future. Household chores teach your children to become loving and responsible adults. It teaches them team work, respect, life skills and even effective planning. Parents are not to pamper their children; they must let them do household chores. Beloved, household chores helps you to grow up physically and mentally to be responsible and loving adults in the future.
KNOW IT ∞ Household chores mentally prepare you for the future. It helps you to be responsible and loving adults in the future.
READ IT ∞ Ecclesiastes 3:22, Philippians 2:14-15
PRAY IT ∞ Father, by your grace, I will develop to a responsible and loving adult as I do my household chores.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Mark 7-10
