Generational blessings

‘For the promise is unto you, and to your children.’
Acts 2:39 KJV
1. Every family has unique and different strengths. And you can give an inheritance to your children by passing on the values, insight, and love that got your family as far as it is today. Having a sense of your history can inspire in them a desire to perpetuate the greatness.
2. You need to tell them how you made it over your Jordan River into your promised land. You need to pass on the generational blessings that helped your family for yrs. It's necessary to highlight each family member’s gifts. There’s something in each person that makes him or her
3...stand out from all the others. All of us have special talents, and all of us want to hear what we do well. We need to recognise and verbalise the uniqueness of each member. We need to emphasise that while we may be part of a great family, we’re not restricted by our heritage;
4...we have the freedom and ability to exercise our own individual gifts. Inspire your family to be proud of where they came from, where they are, and where they can go. Our past binds us together, but it’s the individual members utilising their unique gifts and fulfilling their
5...particular roles that make a family resilient and give it a strong future in the promises of God. ‘For the promise is unto you, and to your children.’ Don’t be the last link in the chain. Don’t let it end with you. Take the blessings God has deposited in you and pass them on
6...to your children – and to your grandchildren as well.

Turn your loss into gain (1)

‘Jephthah…was a mighty man of valour, but he was the son of a harlot.’
Judges 11:1 NKJV
1. Jephthah was the illegitimate son of a man called Gilead. His mother was a prostitute. He grew up in the household of Gilead’s other legitimate sons who later chased him away. ‘“You'll not get any of our father’s inheritance,” they said’ (v. 2). So he ended up living in a cave
2. While there, he took a band of misfits and rebels and developed them into a great army. When the Ammonites threatened Israel, the elders turned to him for help. ‘But Jephthah said to them: “Aren’t you the ones who hated me and drove me from my father’s house? Why do you come..

You must respond with grace

‘You must grow in…grace.’
2 Peter 3:18 NLT
1. How do we overcome past hurts in relationships? How do 2 people combine separate & unique perspectives to create a satisfying & loving relationship? There’s a very special ingredient called ‘grace’ that must be added to the mix. It calls for extending to the other person the..
2...other person the same grace that God extends to you. It bandages broken people & permits the defeated to develop winning ways to escape their pasts. It gives strength to those who struggle to be functional in areas where historically they’ve been dysfunctional. Grace restores

Someone invites you to be the trustee of an org and you accept with glee thinking it's a prestige position. I laugh in Itsekiri😂. What you don't know is that you're being setup to be held accountable & responsible for the actions of the org. Think am well O before you say Yes O!
If that organisation is being dragged to court, it is your name that will be on the court summons. If the government has an issue with the activities of the organisation, it is you they will call not the founder or GO or Imam. You hold by law the Fiduciary responsibilities.
So before you say YES!

1. Ask Questions. What are the objects of this organisation? How will it be funded? Who are the likely funders? Who are the members?

2. Request for documents. e.g. the draft Constitution, agreements etc. What you're doing is matching answers to documents

Dealing with fear (7)

‘God has not given us a spirit of fear.’
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
1. During the American Revolution, Spain gained control of the Bahamas. In April of 1783, Andrew Deveaux, a LT Colonel from South Carolina, recruited a handful of militiamen and Harbour Island settlers to retake Nassau using a clever strategy. Deveaux had only 200 men with him,..
2...a far smaller force than that of the Spanish, but he managed to capture the high ground on the island after a brief skirmish. The Spaniards then watched as boats repeatedly ferried load after load of men from Deveaux’s ships to his defensive position on the shore.

Dealing with fear (6)

‘What I dreaded has happened to me.’
Job 3:25 NKJV
1. Do you ever fantasise about solutions to problems you fear may or will come your way? Ironically, when you do, what started out as an unfounded fear can turn into a real problem because you expended energy on wasteful thinking instead of productive action. Joe Tye, author of..
2..Never Fear, Never Quit, says: ‘Wishful thinking is the lock that fear puts on the prison gate. Fear lets you indulge yourself, for a while, in flights of wishful thinking. Somehow, u think, something will happen to make the problem go away. By the time u wake up, it’s too late

Dealing with fear (5)

‘The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?’
Psalm 27:1 NKJV
1. An old adage says, ‘Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.’ It exaggerates the problem, and as a result, you expend valuable energy in ways you shouldn’t. For example, sometimes you avoid things that can’t really harm you at all. Like the man who returned to his holiday cabin
2...from a hike, badly scratched and bruised. ‘What happened?’ his wife asked. ‘I met a snake on the trail,’ he answered. ‘Don’t you remember,’ his wife responded, ‘the park ranger told us yesterday that none of the snakes up here are poisonous?’ Her husband replied, ‘They don’t
