HOW DO I TRAIN THEM?

By -



One woman asked me after listening to all the much a mother has to do to be able to train her kids and said ‘it’s a damn long dos and don’t, sincerely, I can’t observe all that’. And I said, you don’t need to observe all that too, God didn’t call us to observe all the laws but just to love Him and our neighbours like Christ loves them. Then I asked, can you love God and your neighbours like Christ loves them? And she said yes, and then I said, that’s all you need to do to be able to train your kids; Loving God and loving your neighbours like Christ does
How to be a good parent is not trying to keep proving to your kids how perfect you are as a parent, when you try to show your kids you are a perfect parent by providing everything they need (materials and emotional) they would spend the rest of their lives trying to find your parental flaws.
The best way to train your kids is to show them your love for God and you how much you love your neighbours too. Let your kids know you as a parent that loves the Lord and your neighbours and that would be it. If you can love the Lord and your niegbhours as God loves them then you have observed all the principles of child’s training.
It’s those parents that try so hard to impress their kids and prove to their children that they are a great parent that end up raising delinquent children. Live your life to impress God and not your kids and your kids will grow up well trained because they would also grow up trying to impress God and loving the society.
When you love God, and love your neighbour as yourself, Christ said
On these two commandments (deeds) hang all the law and the prophets. Matt. 22:40
All the laws of child training are hinged on loving God and your neighbour. When you train your kids to know you as a parent that loves the Lord and neighbours you have effectively trained that kid in the most righteous way.
God bless you.

EVIL

WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
