THE MINISTERS MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL (TMMI)

Scribes Stories lesson series Mrs Victory cried, I made my husband a cheat. Her heart is broken as she rued everything she had done to push her husband into the life of immorality and eventually the breakage of her home. Mrs  Anita just shared with her, a principle she had applied in her home that straightened what was to be a crooked spouse.  She listened to Mrs Anita's story, how she knew her husband, Mr Segun who was known to have a weak spot for anything on skirt, and how though Mrs. Anita knew about her husband's weakness yet would kept calling her husband, 'Faithful and exemplary husband and father'. She said, she did that because she cared more about what her husband can become and not what he was. I called forth the type of man I want to see him be and I avoided words that described him as a husband I don't wish him to be. The more upset I was about his flirtations, the more I intensify calling him 'Faithful and exemplary husband and father'.

You always have a bad opinion of people, you are very suspicious of them being vile and evil. You only have a bad report to give about those around you. What you see in people would soon become evident in you, that is why those who see everyone as being wicked turn-out to be wicked themselves and those who see others as being good turn out good themselves. If you are found of discussing the evil in people, soon that evil you see in them would become evident in you See good in people, There is something Good in people if there is not, God won't say after creation that what He created was Good. Yes, people can be vile and evil, but lay hold of the good and excellent in them and when you have to discuss those people, discuss the aspect of them that are good and comely and ignore those that aren't. The more you discuss the good and comely in people, the more you multiply that goodness and the more you talk about the evil and the vile the more, you multiply it. Find out

Adaugo was having an argument with her son, he had done some business and made money, she had asked for money but he had refused to give to her so she would find a way to take his money. He was so ready to beat her up until the money is restored and when asked why, he said 'I do everything for my mother and even do her business and give her the money and when I still find time to make money for myself, she wants to take it' A child shouldn't do everything for the parents, a parent should do everything for the child. Parents who misunderstand this servant leadership spirit are the ones who raises children that'll neglect them as adults. The way you treat your kids as children is the way they'll treat you when you are old; if you serve them, they'll serve you and if you exploit and use them, they'll exploit and use you. Cecilia Ikpe my mother would always say, 'its my duty to serve my kids'. she washes for us, cooks for us, bathe us, wo

The sun was intense, it could melt a congealed oil and thaw an ice instantly. The closest ATM was filled with lots of people and this caused the line to be long as it extends into the rays of the hot sun. Everyone was so desperate to get their turn that no one dare leave their line in search of shades because when you do, another person would promptly take your space. This guy has been on this queue for hours, sweating and cursing.  He was very hungry too and the stress on the ATM queue had made him hungrier and angrier. Finally, it got to his turn, he checked his watch, it has taken him approximately two and the half hours to get to the dispenser, finally, he felt some sense of victory. When the last person before him was done withdrawing, he'll be the next, this prospect excited him until  that moment, when he checked his pocket, then the other pocket and then his front pocket, the expression on his face changed and he was very disturbed. What's the matter the perso

Whenever it rains and drops of rains are falling from the roof, we were told that playing with the rain with our hands will bring about leprosy and that superstition greatly marred my life; I became very afraid of playing in the rain. Though the aim of this superstition was to forbid me from playing in the rain to avoid cold I guess, but it is wrong to train people to live right by lying. One day, they'll grow up to discover that it was a lie and some can discover it very early thereby defeating the purpose of the superstition. some times the reason for the superstition will be lost and many false meanings would be attached to it. Like one day, I had replied in class that leprosy is caused by playing with rain water that falls from the roof of a building and I was laughed to scorn. Many parents to teach their children from going out in the night, they'll say 'Ojuju will bite you' or something scary for the child to avoid playing at night or to have the child

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Tim. 3:16 God is very much interested in the upbringing of our children that's why He gave us His word. We should use God's word to teach, to reproof, to correct and to instruct our children in righteousness. This means, when you want to correct any bad character in your kids, look for relevant scriptures and use that to correct that child If you want to teach any virtue for your kids like humility, generosity, prayerfulness etc., use relevant scripture to teach that child such virtue If you want to rebuke a child for a misbehavior, use relevant scripture to rebuke the child; show the child the consequences of such evil behavior both in this world and in the world to come. Unfortunately, many parents chooses to use their own understanding to train this children, that's why they abuse them with words and with canes

Many people are of the opinion that mosquitoes are 'very very bad'; they give malaria, make sleeping difficult as they disturb your ear and they sulk your blood. While these are true of mosquitoes, one of the biggest benefits of my life came after I encountered the mosquitoes in Aba. Aba-Made Mosquitoes are the worst, they'll make you add them to your prayer list. incidentally I schooled in Aba. I had moved to this apartment given to me by the school principal, the mosquitoes in this apartment  was so much that even during the day, even our guests can't leave without blood stains on their clothes. We slept individually with mosquito repellant and once the smell is exhausted, every mosquito that missed you due to that repellant would troupe at once on you. One day, during our prayer vigil, one of us raised the issue of mosquito as a prayer point. This was how he presented it 'Promise! you are from Umuahia, Do you have Mosquitoes in Umuahia? yes I repl

I stood before the kids and wanted to show them something, I had just learnt in a children training conference. The trainer had taught us that children don't care what we say, they only repeat what they see us do.  I stood there and asked them to touch their feet, I touched mine and simultaneously they did theirs respectively, I told them to touch their head, they did at the same time with me and then I told them to touch their chin while I purposely touched my cheek but all of them touched their cheek instead and very few were confused, they wanted to touch their chin but because I didn't touched mine they felt I was confused with what i've asked them to do and so they reluctantly touched their cheek though they knew it wasn't the chin I had told them to touch. This is exactly how children respond to parents, they don't do what they are told, they do what they see their parents or instructor doing. It doesn't matter how eloquent you are as a par

Mr. Okon would always boast that he is a disciplinarian and doesn't take nonsense with any kids. That he knows how to enforce the children to obey him and for a very long while he thought he was doing well. The daughters are always home, they never stay out late, they don't visit friends and they are always doing what their father said until one day, one of them got pregnant. Who made you pregnant the father asked, with 'koboko' whip in his hands, 'it's you' she replied and the man was shocked. The daughter was so adamant not to reveal the true identity of the person who impregnated her, later it was discovered that she had slept with many men so she couldn't pine-point which exactly was responsible so she accused her father. She said, her father never allow her to go out and has never caught her outside without a tangible reason therefore its only plausible that its him who is responsible over her pregnancy. This is an example of what happens

She told my mom, *when I lost one of my daughters, many people said many things to comfort me but I don't remember any of them now but what your son did and said, that's all I remembered and that was what God used to comfort me* I was so devasted that I wished for death and was so bitter then after he had sat beside me for a while, he brought the pictures of my other children and showed them to me and then he said *what you have left is what's important now, be strong for them* pointing to the picture of my other children At that moment I remembered my responsibilities to my other children who were also devasted by the lose of their sister and decided that I'm recovering from that loss so as to comfort them. It's painful thing to loose something of great importance to you but always remember what you have left and your responsibilities towards what's left are all that matters now. Don't lose yourself because of your loose There are those need you

Emma came home with a math home work, he wanted his mother to teach him how to solve the home work but the mother couldn't, she never went to school so she'll always ask the neighbor's children to help her son Emma. In so many occasions, her neighbor's children would shrewdly abuse her, calling her "Olodo" because she couldn't solve a simple math question for her son and she'll keep hearing them and enduring the abuse just because she wanted them to keep teaching her son but one day, she couldn't take it any longer, so she registered in an adult school and promised herself that her next child's home work, she won't ask anyone to do it for him. Emma's mother couldn't help her son no matter how much she had wanted to just because she didn't have the knowledge herself; she endured abuses just because she wanted another person to give what she didn't have that her son needed and then she made a decision that she'll a

The lady was shouting at the sale's girl in a very rude manner; using foul words on her. I was getting upset and wanted to confront her for such ugly behavior but the owner of the shop resisted me, immediately the woman made her purchase and left, the shop owner apologized to her sale's girl for such behavior, turned to me and said, 'our duty in this shop is to sell to customers, not to teach them manners'. That line opened my eyes to what business is all about, sell, sell and sell. To train the African Child to excel in business, he must not lose focus to his primary purpose which is to sell his goods and offer his services. The businessman should be only interested in selling and nothing more. Endure the ugly manners of your customers and clients as long as they patronize your products and services. If the customer is shouting at you, don't retaliate, sell your market and make your profit. Nice men are in heaven, those on earth are products of various mood
