What are the blessings that come from obedience children?

Jeff Pollard explains in this video that children are to obey their fathers and mothers. When they do, we see God’s blessing. Proverbs 23:24 (NKJV) says that, "The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will delight in him."

Conversely, if children disobey their parents, they are making an incredible mistake and are sinning against God. Those who disobey the commandments of God will miss out on the joy of honoring and obeying those that God has placed in authority over them.  

Ephesians 6:1-3 (NKJV) – “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with promise: ‘that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.’”



Let me say, there are those who make an incredible mistake, a very great error, and they act as if in some way wives are left out of that picture. Proverbs puts that to rest. So does the fifth commandment, honor thy father and thy mother. You are to obey, as Proverbs chapter 1 says, the commandment of your father and your mother. So it isn't a master and slave relationship, it is a king and a queen relationship, in which under Christ they walk in the roles that God has given them.

So church reform, family reform, has its elders and the reciprocal responsibility of the members. The family has the father, the husband, the wife, and the children in their reciprocal response. And when we see those things happening, we do really begin to see God's blessing and God's change. You
