SATURDAY 6TH JUNE 2020. THEME: BABY KING? MEMOR Y VERSE : Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! ( Ecclesiastes 10:16 ) BIBLE READ ING : Ecclesiastes 10:16-18 16 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! 18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. MESSAGE In the previous study, the father was rightly described as the priest of the home. He is however also the king of the home. What a father does will have effect on every member of his family. As a father, you cannot afford to act like a child. From our memory verse, we see that it is the family that would suffer for the childishness of their king (the father). Remember that everything you do is an example for your children. When yo...

He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. MESSAGE Christ has an u...
