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Once a very lively child suddenly becomes withdrawn, you might need to patiently ask a lot of questions from such child.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

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Nothing dwarfs a man more than the smallness of his own mind. Nothing incapacitates a man like the lack of vision. God speaking to Abraham in Gen 13:15 said to him ?For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.?. Greatness happens when a people grow their capacity intentionally. Every day, opportunities stroll by unnoticed while people remain perpetually in penury. Why?
It is important to note that lasting success can never happen without an increase in capacity. Let?s call to mind the story of the Shunemite woman for a moment. Elisha had instructed go get all the vessels you can. Borrow, buy, anyhow you can increase your capacity. Why did Elisha do this? He knew that if that woman does not increase her capacity she would limit the God of increase. She knew she had vessels too little to contain God?s increase.

While it is God who enlarges and lifts a man, it is the duty of man to acquire the capacity to contain the blessings that God brings. The reason many have not received that enlargement is entirely because there is absolutely no room to take more. Jesus speaking to the disciples in John 16: 12 says ?I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now?. Can you imagine that? Jesus had a lot of revelation to give the Apostles but they lacked the capacity to bear them.

So how do you enlarge your capacity?
One, read!
Paul admonishing Timothy in the book of 2 Tim 2:15 says study ?Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth?. No one can get any approval who does not first increase the level of his knowledge of God. Joshua 1:8 says ?This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.? If you will not read and meditate on the word of God your capacity can NEVER increase and there will not be growth nor success. The Bible talks about those ?that know their God being strong and doing exploits?. ?Those that know?. Without knowledge you can?t grow. You can?t do exploits.

Secondly, who are the people that influence you?
An English adage says if you stay around long enough in the barber?s shop you will get a hair cut. A Yoruba adage says if a sheep stays around a company of dogs long enough it would eat shit. The Bible says ?Be not deceived bad communication corrupts good manners?. Please understand dear reader that glory is very easily corrupted by staying around with lay-abouts. Your capacity can never increase if your circle of friends is ?Low-life-dwellers?. Imagine, on the day that Elisha asked the Shunemite woman to go borrow vessels; if all her friends were poor people who cannot even afford a vessel. She would have missed the opportunity of her major breakthrough in life.
Today, I challenge you to be deliberate about the kinds of people that you let into your space. Screen out those who are adding no value to you and deliberately befriend people whose lives inspire you.

Lastly, pursue your goals.
If you will prosper and succeed in life, hardwork will have to be your middle name. No anointing can replace the need to work hard. Jesus was the most anointed of all men that ever lived yet he prayed so hard until his sweat was thick as blood. During his earthly ministry, he was moving from one place to another doing good and touching lives. In fact, he worked round the clock. If you will see any growth it will require that you work. Not moderate work but hard work and trust God to prosper your efforts with good success.

Happy new month.

When people use the word “entrepreneur? to describe themselves as though it?s a new acronym for “jobless but passing time“, I laugh. I laugh because I know that entrepreneurship is service to humanity. I laugh because a true entrepreneur disdained a great many easier choices to walk that road alone. On a day like this I think it is important to give a word of hope to someone out there who?s been trudging this road with much resolve and little result.

Sometimes, business coaches sound as though the problem is with just inconsistency or lack of intensity or product-market mismatch and on and on and on. The reality is that sometimes you will do it ALL right and still get no result. What do you do at such times?- Hang in there!!!
See brother, you cannot afford to go back. Not just because of you but because of the many destinies that depend on you. As entrepreneurs, we are life givers. We carry the destinies and means of other men on our shoulders. So, if you go back, you?re taking a few people with you.

Let me share with you the PRINCIPLE OF COMPOUNDED EFFECT!
It states that “Every major life occurrence; failure or success is a product of several events whose effects are multiplied daily on the eventual outcome? Your marketing efforts might look like a waste because you are not yet getting results, but NO, it is not! Your knowledge acquisition might look like a waste of time because you are not yet making money, but NO, it is not!

Dear business owner, my heart speaks to you this morning because I feel your pain. Hang in there! Stay the course. You cannot go back, no, not at this point. You are gone past half the journey to Canaan! You can?t go back now! Not just because of you but because of your many destiny benefactors. If you fail, you are not just going to account in Heaven for your failure. You will also account for theirs. If you keep showing up for your dreams faithfully, it will not be long before your dream will show up for you. IT WILL HAPPEN THIS YEAR. GO OUT YET AGAIN TODAY AND LIVE THAT DREAM.

Happy new month.

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.“

It is important to differentiate breath from life! It is possible for a man to be advance in years breathing each day without actually living. Not everyone alive is living.

What exactly does it mean to live? A man cannot start living until he has found a reason to live. No man can live until that day when he finds the purpose for which God created him. To live is to move in the direction of purpose. To live is to progress every new day towards the attainment of the goals that heaven has chosen for you. If you achieve the entire world without living the design of God for you; you have wasted life. May it never be said concerning you that you lived without attaining God?s purpose for your life.

No man can find his purpose who lives outside of his maker. John 1:4 says ?In him was life; and the life was the light of men [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not? Everyone who finds Christ and lives the life of Christ becomes a model of success and a reference point in relevance. Brethren, no one can prescribe the use of a drug better than its maker. After all said and done, the benchmark for scoring the success of your life would be the script that was written at creation. You will not be measured against ambition. You will not be measured against perceived competitors. Your life will be measured against the script written by God at your creation.

How does a man access the life in God? Let me remind you of two of the most priceless mysteries of Christianity.

First is the mystery of the flesh and blood. Lev. 17:11 says ?For the life of the flesh is in the blood? One of the greatest mysteries of Christianity is the mystery of the communion. To enter fully into the life of the father through the son, regular communion is a must. ?After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me? (1 Cor 11:25). Everyone that partakes regularly of the bread and the blood of Christ renews the covenant of life.

The second is the mystery of the washing of feet. Very mundane, yet powerful! Jesus, speaking to the twelve as he rounded up his apostolate offered to wash the feet of his disciples. Peter resisted ?How can my master wash my feet?? I?m sure that was his thought. But then Jesus insisted. ?Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me? (John 13:8). Jesus was demonstrating the atonement on Calvary. Whoever will not be cleansed by the blood that drips from Calvary can NEVER access the life in God!

Lastly, It is important to be ready to pay the price for a great life. Greatness never drops on the laps of men. Jesus speaking in John 9:4 says: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. It amazes me when men live as though they had from now to eternity all to themselves. They have no urgency of time. Even if you were Methuselah you still would be limited by time. The human life is like a screen of smoke appearing now and disappearing the next moment. Give it your best. Ensure you leave this world as a champion!

When you teach your child to fear the Lord, both you and your child stand to gain a lot.
For instance,

A parent who has a child that fears the Lord will live peacefully now and in her old age.

She will be the envy of her peers.

She will receive the blessings of the Lord, and her child will bless and honour her.

For the child who fears the Lord;

He/she will grow in wisdom. Prov. 1:7

He/she will be motivated to flee from evil. The fear of the Lord restricts a child from doing evil. Prov. 3:7

It will prolong his/her life. A child who fears the Lord will live long. Prov. 10:27

It gives him /her sense of security. A child who fears the Lord will not be threatened by anything. Prov.14: 26.

It will bring him/her satisfaction and safety. Prov.19:23

It will bring him/her great blessings. Prov. 22:4
