Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Here is a message about disciplining your children that I wanted to share.

King David was good at many things, correcting his children? Not so much. At least not when it came to Adonijah. The Bible says he NEVER corrected him.
No wonder he assumed a kingship that wasn't his. When he did that, Solomon his half brother, had mercy on him, and told him to go home. He didn't recognize mercy when it was given. Adonijah then asked his mother, to ask Solomon, to give Abishag to him.
This was the most beautiful woman they could find who was sought throughout all the coasts of Israel to bring King David comfort when he was dying. David knew her not. Now she belonged to Solomon. Don't try and take what belongs to the King.

Adonijah had never been corrected in his life, and now he would pay with his life.
His mother said to Solomon, "I have just one request son, and don't tell me no." He said, "mom I won't tell you no. Give Abishag to your brother." King Solomon said NO!
King Solomon said Adonijah will die today for this request. Solomon sent Benaiah to kill him.
Parents, you endanger your children and their future when you don't correct them. Correcting them is loving them. Adonijah was presumptuous, a spoiled brat and a manipulator. It didn't work with the King!
That's why God disciplines His children, so that we grow up to be like Christ, instead of Adonijah.
