Mighty Foundation (pt.2) - Bamboo Lovers Experience

Welcome back! Today, we continue our teachings, shifting from Solid Foundations to explore Mighty Foundations. Reverend Eben takes us deeper into the life-altering topic of honoring our parents, which remains a powerful and mighty foundation for a life blessed by GodBuilding on last week's message, Reverend Eben delves deeper into why this principle is so crucial. Drawing from key scriptures, he reminds us of the commandment from Exodus 20:12: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” This is not just a suggestion but a divine mandate with a promise — a promise of longevity and well-being.However, what happens when we fail to honor our parents? Reverend Eben outlines several serious consequences that arise from dishonoring our parents:1. Dishonor results in demonic invasion in your life — As Jesus Himself said in John 8:49-50: “I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.” When we dishonor our parents, we open doors for spiritual attacks and demonic influences in our lives.2. Dishonor results in obscure darkness — Proverbs 20:20 warns us, “If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.” Dishonoring our parents leads us into spiritual blindness and confusion.3. Dishonor results in being replaced — When we fail to honor those God has placed over us, we risk being replaced, losing opportunities, and seeing our destiny handed to others.4. Dishonor means you will likely be dishonored — 1 Samuel 2:30 says, “Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.” The principle of sowing and reaping applies to how we treat our parents; dishonor will bring dishonor back upon us.5. Dishonor results in not seeing the power of God — Mark 6:2-5 records how Jesus could not perform many miracles in His hometown because the people dishonored Him. When we dishonor those God has set over us, it blocks the flow of divine power and blessing in our lives.As we continue today’s sermon, Reverend Eben will teach us how honoring our parents is not just an earthly responsibility but a mighty foundation that underpins our spiritual, emotional, and even financial stability.
