Text : 2Tim. 3:2 ISV
*People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,*
One of the signs of end time is that children shall be disobedient to their parents.
*All the prophecies of the scriptures shall be fulfilled, whether positive or negative, but you don't have to be part of those who will fulfill the negative prophecies.*
Now, this warning goes to two categories of people : the Parents and the children.
*THE PARENTS*
Before a child would be termed disobedient, a set of instructions must have been given and flouted. This presupposes that,it is the responsibility of parents to guide and guard their wards.
Proverbs 22:6 says, _Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it._
Obviously, the verse clearly states who the trainer and the trainee is. If the parents are not slack in their duties, when the children are grown they wouldn't depart from the discipline.
Note that no training is palatable when in process. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, for those who have been trained by it, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.Heb 12:11 ISV.
As a parent, don't be absent on your duty post. One good way to show your love towards your children is through chastening.
*Don’t withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with a rod, he won’t die.* Prov. 23:13 ISV.
*Because the LORD corrects the person he loves, just as a father corrects the son he delights in.How well are you taking in correction?* Prov. 3:12.
*THE CHILDREN*
*Any child who is taking pleasure in being disobedient to his parents is only fulfilling the end time prophecy albeit on the wrong note.*
As a child, you may not even be glad or intend to be rude or disobedient to your parents, but if you find yourself doing so nonetheless, it's time to take your case to God in prayers so he can deliver you.
Don't let the Spirit of end time catch up with you, never toy with disobedience. *There's a spirit responsible for unruly behavior in children, don't be ignorant of this.*
_Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:_ Eph 2:2.
Note that your parents transcend just the two people who gave birth to you, but all those who laboured over you both physically and spiritually, and those old enough to be your parents.
