Cucumber in your drinking water is more beneficial than you might think. Here are some of the benefits of cucumber water:

It lowers your blood pressure
It supports healthy skin
It boosts bone health
It helps with weight loss
It keeps you hydrated
It delivers antioxidants.

Antioxidants are substance that helps prevent and delay cell damage from oxidative stress. Research has shown that antioxidants may be able to reverse or stop this damage. This is why you should eat more of fruits and vegetables. Cucumber falls into this category of fruits we need.

Unconsciously, some Christian Parents have bought into the idea of the fun-loving world that children should be preoccupied with fun, games and activities than with religion and relationship with God. According to them, teaching children about God and his holiness is simply too grand because their little minds cannot fully grasp it. Some others feel that once children make a profession of faith in Christ, then that’s enough, assuming that the teaching of holiness is only appropriate for children of advanced ages. Sadly, the consequence of these kinds of dispositions is that such children will not grow steadfastly in their faith in God as they ought to.

The teaching of the subject of holiness and holy living is necessary for the children of all ages and it is the responsibility of both Parents and the church to intentionally teach children about salvation and instruct them on how to live holy lives with the ultimate goal of bringing them into a growing relationship with God.

Leading a child to making a decision for Christ is not enough. It should be followed up with constituent instruction in righteousness. It is important that children are taught how to live a holy life in this pervert world because it is God’s desire and demand that every one of His people including children should live holy lives. It is a divine prerequisite for anyone who desires to spend eternity with God.
(Heb. 12:14).

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

The value of a promise is a function of the speaker of the promise. In this world, there are men and there are men. When some men talk you can go to sleep because they will honor the word even if it is at the cost of their lives. But when some other men pronounce a promise they carry no weight at all. They can renege on a promise just because it rained heavily or it was a sunny day. Our God is not like that. Proverbs 23:19 says ?God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good??

There are three things that make the word of our God of particular consequence.

First is the Ability of our God.
No one can give what he does not have. Recall the story of the exorcists who; trying to mirror the spiritual exploits of Paul in casting out demons said in Acts 19 to evil spirits ?...We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.? Interestingly, the Bible calls them ?Vagabond Jews?. By definition, vagabond means ?impostor?, not born of the presumed father. In truth, that was who they were. They were claiming the brotherhood of the Kingdom when in fact they had no identity in Heaven. Our God is not like that. By proofs again and again; by proof documented in medieval times and now, our God has proven His capacity to do what men cannot do.

A few months ago, in the ancient city of Akure, working through the hands of a young believer our God raised a popular middle aged man who was reportedly lame from birth. The capacity of our God has not reduced with time. Just as he did of old, He is still doing today.

The Integrity of God
It was Alan Kooi Simpson a United States Republican Senator representing Wyoming who served from 1979 to 1997 that said ?If you have integrity nothing else matters. When you do not have integrity nothing else matters?. The integrity of God is unquestionable. Even the integrity of those who follow in his steps is solid.

And lastly, the love of God
God speaking through the mouth of Prophet Isaiah in Isa 49:15 says ?Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.?

When I think about the love of God it makes me shiver. God sent His only begotten son to the world to die for mankind in hope that mankind would take advantage of Calvary. And I ask, what if all men reject His offer? What if no one repents? His only begotten son would have died in vain. God took a pre-emptive risk. That?s a depth of love no one can explain.

These three reasons above makes it impossible for God to fail whenever he says a thing. Paul speaking to the Roman Church says in Rom 8:32 ?He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?? Dear friend, if there was anyone who knew God at close range Paul did.

As this new month unfolds I challenge you therefore to hold on strongly to what you have heard Him say to you. He is not a son of man. He cannot lie. He will bring you to an expected end.

Most women do not have any signs or symptoms of a pre-cancer or early stage cervical cancer. Symptoms usually do not appear until the cancer has spread to other tissues and organs. Sometimes, the sign of a symptom may be another medical condition that is not cancer.

ANY OF THE FOLLOWING COULD BE SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OF CERVICAL DYSPLASIA OR CANCER
*Blood spots or light bleeding between or following periods
*Menstrual bleeding that is longer and heavier than usual
*Bleeding after intercourse, douching, or a pelvic examination
*Pain during sexual intercourse
*Bleeding after menopause
*Increased vaginal discharge

Any of these symptoms should be reported to your doctor.
If these symptoms appear, it is important to talk with your doctor about them even if they appear to be symptoms of other, less serious conditions. the earlier pre-cancerous cells or cancer is found and treated, the better the chance that the cancer can be prevented.
However, before the occurrence of these signs, you can go for screening or test.
It is very important.

Hello Children!
Hope you are enjoying your holiday break?

Parents, Please let us be on lookout for our children during this break.

Let us make sure that they are within our care.

Let us be sure of the person we release our children to spend the holiday with.

Let us watch for our maids, we should not leave our children alone with them (if possible. Let us enroll them for Summer Classes.

*We should be careful not to expose them to bad television programme or spend too much of their time watching during the holiday.
They should be in our custody at all time ( if possible)

We should monitor their movement, but they should also enjoy the best part of their holiday break.

Warn your children never to sit on anyone?s laps including uncles and aunties.

Avoid getting dressed in front of your child once he/she is 2yrs old. Learn to excuse yourself.

(this aspect is very important).

We also advise that if you have to hire a house help please kindly take them for HIV screening to determine their status, interview them properly, get to know where they are from; then you make up your mind to treat them well or DON?T HIRE HOUSEHELP AT ALL, SOME OF THEM ARE EVIL.

Never allow any adult to refer to your new born as my wife or my husband.

Whenever your child goes out to play with friends, make sure you look for a way to find out what kind of play they played together because young people now sexually abuse themselves.

Never allow your child to visit any adult he/she is not comfortable with and also be observant if your child becomes too fond of a particular adult.

Once a very lively child suddenly becomes withdrawn, you might need to patiently ask a lot of questions from such child.

If you don?t teach your children about sex, the society will teach them the wrong values.

It is always advisable you go through any new material like cartoons you just bought for them before they start seeing it, also make sure what they watch on the television is properly screened.

Teach your 3yrs old child how to wash their privates properly and warn them never to allow anyone to touch those areas and that includes you (remember charity begins at home and with you)

Blacklist the materials you think could threaten the sanity of your children (that includes music, movies, musician, actor and actresses) and let them understand the value of standing out of crowd.

Once your child complains about a particular person, don?t keep quiet about it. Take up the case and show them that you can defend them always

Be security conscious. Kidnappers are there, please be watchful.

DEVELOP A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD: (Deut. 6 vs 5:6) God wants Parents to understand that they cannot transfer to their children what they do not possess. The foundation for both great marriage and successful parenting is to love God above every other god(s)or thing(s)

MAKE THE WORD OF GOD YOUR STANDARD: God?s word is full of instruction about child?s training. It is the standard that we are to use to raise children that are God fearing.

PARENTS MUST BE ON THE SAME PAGE: If Parents are not in agreement, their children will skillfully manipulate to get their ways.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN: Parents must shield their children by monitoring the television programme they watch, installing filter on internet, regulating and overseeing the use of cell phones and reviewing books and materials that are used in school. Also they must safeguard their children by not allowing them to be alone with anyone they do not completely trust or know. Protection also includes training children to resist and report any improper touch.

BLESS YOUR CHILDREN: To bless your children is to speak a message that attaches high value and picture a special future for them with an active commitment as Parents to help them fulfill it. Make sure you take time to regularly bless each of your children.
