Driving home the message, the preacher shocked many when he revealed that he had just suspended his own son less than 24 hours after his wedding for disobedience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEven me, at this point in time, I still discipline my children<\/strong>,\u201d he revealed. \u201c<strong>One of them wedded yesterday, I disciplined him last night.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201c<strong>Yes. I said, you are now suspended because you must do what I asked you, what I am teaching in your wedding. So, I have to do what? Discipline him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Explaining the consequence, he stated: <strong>\u201cI said now, you will stop whatever you are doing, so that you will have pain. So, you have to discipline your children.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cleric said parents who fail to discipline their children may eventually suffer the consequences of their silence or weakness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Look at what would have happened<\/strong>,\u201d he told the church. \u201c<strong>And if you don\u2019t learn lesson from this, you might be a victim of your own word. Which is not the will of God for you.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He warned that parental authority must be upheld even when children are married or educated, adding that spiritual responsibility extends beyond childhood. According to him, letting children operate without correction is against biblical principles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>So, control your children. Let them be subject to you. Let them fear you. Let them do what you want them to do,<\/strong>\u201d he said. \u201c<strong>And if they have done something wrong, you don\u2019t waste time. You have to discipline them. Praise the Lord.
