Dear Parents,
Wearing your little girls sexy dresses will not teach them decency when they grow up, treating your wife with no respect will teach your little boys how to disrespect women when they grow up!
Can we talk about this tonight, do you think the way children are raised could be the cause of indecency and mannerless in the society?
How can you wear your little girls short tight dresses, exposing their laps and chests and expect them to grow into modest, godly ladies?
How can they learn purity and modesty when you don't promote it in your houses, what about the films they see, are they educative, what do they gain from watching the TV sessions?
You let them watch movies rated 18 and shows like BBNaija and you are expecting them to live holy and pure, I just can't express how I feel right now😥
You treat your wife with no respect, insulting her in the presence of your little boys and you want them to be loving husbands tomorrow! Hell No! You are training ruffians😶
Have you read Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it".
What you teach children now is what they will offer you tomorrow, what you show to them now is what they will bring forth tomorrow!
Teach your little girls modesty, train her to be a woman of value, remind her how beautiful she is, tell her she is worth rubies and don't forget to introduce Jesus to her!
Teach your little boys how to respect women, teach them how to be responsible, teach them how to remain obedient and don't forget to tell them Jesus is the only way!
I still want us to talk about how to raise godly children, please drop what you think❤
This morning, I woke up to God’s word reminding me of the importance of process, waiting, building and staying to learn what He is teaching me as my teacher.
We may come that point where we almost feel like the Lord is not there because what we have asked for is not forthcoming, you may even feel discouraged but it is settled that the Lord never forsakes His own, not even in the fire!
So what about you? Do you eventually see God as wicked or unjust because He is not answering all your prayers? Are you that Christian who quickly becomes faithless when you are not seeing results?
Job said “Even if you slay me”
Esther said “If I perish I perish”
The three Hebrews boys didn’t mind if God saves them or not and Daniel wasn’t scared of dying in the lion’s den.
How comes we are only for God when it’s favorable? What happens to the process of waiting and learning? Just like David and Joseph, God may take you through a process before the palace.
Just like Abraham, you may have to wait for years to enter into God’s promises for you. We must learn to love God beyond what He can do for us, follow Him because He is God not just for earthly desires!
If you are serving God because you want to get something from Him, one day you will wake up angry because you may not get all you desire but when you just love and trust Him, you may not get all you desire but you will get all that's best for you.
We serve God because its our life, we owe everything to Him. So just like the three Hebrew boys, Esther, Daniel, Apostle Paul etc.
It is not about how much God can give to them but how committed and sold out they are to God.
God wants us to come to that place where our confession becomes "If I perish I perish! I cannot choose my life or my desires above you Lord. I love you with everything".
This is the kind of growth God is calling us into🔥
Dear Christian,
The flesh is self exalting, it is self demanding! When the spirit says PRAY, the flesh will say you need to rest. When the spirit says BE CALM, the flesh will give you a hundred reasons not to! If you want to serve God, you must die to FLESH🙇
The flesh always wants to show how much it has achieved for God with small pride.
It wants to be able to show emotions, do whatever it wants without self control.
It doesn't even want corrections from God or the scriptures.
The flesh doesn't want to stay without food so if you want to satisfy it's desires, you cannot fast. You can stay for a whole busy day without eating but come and fast na, you will start shaking😂
I was having a conversation with one Unku who was showing some Interest me and I noticed how he was trying to mention God into everything he was saying, yes he wanted me to see how he knows God but I was not fast to conclude o!
I gave it time, I listened to all he had to say and I could see that he was trying to use the fact I was a child of God to make me feel comfortable but it wasn't so long before I could hear him condemn the standard of purity we are keep as believers!
Oh really, the same brother who sounded so God-loving could say there's no need to waiting until marriage if your family already knows about the relationship! God help us.
I was at a wedding yesterday, but I wasn't fast to say the God When anthem, not because it wasn't a beautiful wedding or because I don't anticipate marriage but because I know there is so much requirements for a GOD KIND OF MARRIAGE.
We all want to be loved by somebody's son or daughter, we want a beautiful house, we want to be loved and receive beautiful gifts from our partners. I want that too but wait fes, is that all?
What God has planned for us is way more than gifts, houses, flowers or even vacations. What God has planned is a home that will glorify Him.
