Without my being blest?

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1SAMUEL 2:12-17
1 Samuel:2.12
Now the sons of Eli [were] corrupt; they did not know the LORD.
1 Samuel:2.13
And the priests’ custom with the people [was that] when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.
1 Samuel:2.14
Then he would thrust [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
1 Samuel:2.15
Also, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.”
1 Samuel:2.16
And [if] the man said to him, “They should really burn the fat first; [then] you may take [as much] as your heart desires,” he would then answer him, “[No,] but you must give [it] now; and if not, I will take [it] by force.”
1 Samuel:2.17
Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

RCCG TOPIC: EMPOWERED TO FACE THE GIANT DIGGING DEEP
INTRODUCTION
God as laid down principles for children upbringing which must not be departed from (2Tim. 2:19). The anger of God kindles upon children who disobey God (Eph. 5:6; Eccl. 10:8). The role of parents is therefore crucial to the fulfillment of God’s plan and purpose for his children (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). While there are records of children raised in godly ways who remained on that narrow path, the Bible also has records of those who departed from the path of truth.
TEXT REVIEW: 1SAMUEL 2:12-17
“Now the son of Eli were the sons of Belial”. 1Sam. 2:12.

iii. You need to answer your children’s questions about God and the Christian life (Deuteronomy 6:20-25; 1Peter 3:15)
iv. Focus on obeying and pleasing God only (Deuteronomy 6:17-18) and also train your children, in agreement with your spouse,to please God in all their endeavors.
