Pastor Lazarus Muoka, the founder of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement, has disclosed the reason for suspending his son, Benhail Muoka shortly after his wedding to Precious Duru, which took place on July 26.
Speaking during a sermon shared on Chosen Son TV, Muoka stated that his son acted in a way that went against the teachings he upholds, especially during a moment as important as a wedding.
As a result, he took immediate action to correct him.
Admonishing parents, the clergyman noted that they must not hesitate to correct their children, regardless of age or status.
He explained that allowing children to act without correction can lead to serious consequences, and he stressed the need for discipline in the home.
He added that no one is above correction, even if they are grown or educated, and reminded the congregation that proper upbringing requires firm action when necessary.
He said: “Look at what would have happened. And if you don’t learn lesson from this, you might be a victim of your own word.
“Which is not the will of God for you. So, control your children. Let them be subject to you. Let them fear you. Let them do what you want them to do.
“And if they have done something wrong, you don’t waste time. You have to discipline them. Praise the Lord. I said, you don’t do what? You don’t waste time, you have to discipline them.
“Don’t say they are too big, they have gone to school and you don’t have power over them. That is wrong.
“Even me, at this point in time, I still discipline my children. One of them wedded yesterday, I disciplined him last night. 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.
“I said now, you will stop whatever you are doing, so that you will have pain. So, you have to discipline your children.
“Don’t allow them to overgrown you and then perish. So, I discipline my own children and you have to discipline your own children.”
