Children, Obey Your Parents | The Other 16, Part 3
In this eye-opening message, Apostle Shane Wall unpacks the biblical command for children to honor and obey their parents—and the blessing or curse that follows. This is Part 3 of The Other 16 series, where we examine the hours outside work and school that reveal whether our lives truly belong to God.
The Other 16 Part 3
*- One of the major strategies demons use against Christians isn’t what occurs during the eight (8) hours we spend at work or school, but what takes place during the sixteen (16) hours we spend away from our day’s commitments, mostly spent with our biological or adoptive family members.
*- This series examines “the other 16” hours of our day—when we’re not at work or school—and how those hours reveal whether our lives truly belong to the Lord, and what to do to submit to Him if not.
*- What are a few facets of children’s lives that the Bible sheds light on?
Regard (treat with honor, due obedience, and courtesy) your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land the Lord your God gives you.
Exodus 20:12 AMPC
Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well with you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 5:16 AMPC
*- How children treat their parents can determine whether their lifespan is lengthened or shortened.
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
Colossians 3:20 AMPC
My son, hear the instruction of your father; reject not nor forsake the teaching of your mother.
Proverbs 1:8 AMPC
My son, keep your father’s [God-given] commandment and forsake not the law of [God] your mother [taught you].
Proverbs 6:20 AMPC
*- Uncompromisingly righteous parents must teach their children how to hear and obey them.
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord [as His representatives], for this is just and right.
*- Children, your parents are God’s first authority in your life. But your obedience is not just horizontal—it’s vertical. You obey them ‘in the Lord,’ which means your obedience is really service to Christ.
2 Honor (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother—this is the first commandment with a promise—
3 That all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.
Ephesians 6:1–3 AMPC
Hearken to your father, who begot you, and despise not your mother when she is old.
Proverbs 23:22 AMPC
*- Godly instruction from fathers as wisdom, understanding, and knowledge is an asset to all children. Elderly mothers aren't a burden to their children; instead, children are blessed to be able to care for them.
Lifework Assignment:
Children (parents, help younger children to understand and talk to the Holy Spirit): “Holy Spirit, I want to always obey everything You have given to my parents to tell me to do to please You. Help me to have and use wisdom and understanding all the time because I know You and my parents want the best for me.”
Expected Behavior:
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries in the [city’s] gate.
Psalm 127:3–5 AMPC
*- Parents are expected to follow God's Law for their children, and children are expected to obey their parents to please God and so they don't make their parents ashamed of them.
