I do not have a family of mine yet,but that won't stop me from being
able to address some pertinent issues revolving around the axis of the
family in which the parents are the active players.I'd be looking at the
subject of discussion probably from two points of view.And will give
attention to one than the other so as to drive home my point.
Obviously,the place of parents in the life of their children cannot be
underrated.This is so true because the home is the primary background of
every child.Parents are the number one teacher in a family set up.It
then means that,'whatever you see from the part of their children,is a
product of the handiwork of their parents' At this stage,two things are
possible:It's either their children are good or bad.However,it's
possible for a child brought up in an ideal home to turn bad as a result
of some external factors.But that's not where am going...
Simply,the family is the foundation of the children.Though,we've some
children whose parents do not brought up in the way of God and also not
in the way of satan,but in a space of time,these children unearthed
reasons for them to know more of God.So,they build their relationship
with God with their hands when they see their parents not capable for
reasons best known to them.
However,there's no pause without a cause.I made up my mind to finally write this article to save the unborn generation.
I've continuously hear a mother teaching her very young boy an
ungodly/worldy slangs which to her is just to catch fun,not knowing that
the brains of children are very sharp in taking in information.You
can't just believe that,early in the morning you see this mother saying
this,and the boy will continue with it.
But then,I've not seen this
woman quoting a portion of the scripture and wait for the guy to
complete it. Never!.The other day, I heard the boy
singing,'personally...' and who're we to blame if not for the parents
that do not take their primary assignment serious.This is where we ought
to know that the headaches of the community and even the church starts
from the family.Honestly,pastoral ministry'd be very easy,if every
parent could help pastored their children.No wonder the church is full
of untrained children which ultimately become a burden to the pastor in
the church.If a child is brought up in a godly home,taught how to
speak,how to dress,how to pray,how to respect et al we'd have a less
number of abnormalities in our society today.
Yeah! You don't
have a family yet,but you can always take a view of how you want your
family to be and the types of children you wonna build.Is it the one
that'd make exploit or the one that'd turn a nuisance to the community
and the church of God?
You may be fervent with God,but once your fervency does not affect your children,it's a waste of time!
On this note,let's take a bible character to conclude this topic.Hear
the word of Bro.Paul to Timothy in 2Tim 1:5, "I've been reminded of your
sincere faith,which first lived in your groundmother Lois and in your
mother Eunice and I'm persuaded,now lives in you also" Guess you can see
how the faith was established in Timothy.Her parents can't be discarded
in this matter,though his dad was not mentioned.
Let's take 2Tim 3:15 to sum it up,'and how from infancy you've known the holy scriptures,which are able to make you wise...'
It was from the infant stage that he had known God.
To all growing youths that'd one day have their family,take time to
teach your children in a godly way and not in an ungodly manner.

THE CHILDREN'S SONG
Land of our Birth,we pledge to thee
Our love and toil in the years to be;
When we are grown and take our place
As men and women of our race.
Father in Heaven,who lovest all,
Oh,help Thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage
Teach us to bear the yoke in youth,
With steadfastness and careful truth;
That in our time Thy Grace may give
The Truth whereby the Nations live.
Teach us to rule ourselves alway
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring,if need arise
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.
Teach us to look in all our ends
On Thee for judge,and not our friends;
That we,with Thee,may walk uncowed
By fear or favour of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek,
By deed or thought,to hurt the weak;
That,under Thee,we may possess
Man's strength to comfort man's distress.
Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And to all mean 'neath the sun!
Land of our Birth,our faith,our pride,
For who dear sake our fathers died
O Motherland,we pledge to thee;
Head,heart,and hand through the year to be!

THE GENERATION WITH VOLATILE MEMORY
If there's a terrific search for a generation with a volatile and
easily evaporated memory,a mile journey is too much for this generation
of ours.Ours is to easily forget the basic principles of life we've been
taught by the word of God(the bible).We easily digest it,and vomit it
with immediate effect.In fact,we take no heart to convert every words
into action,meanwhile,there's no
production of energy/work in physics,if one form of energy does not
change to another form of energy.E.g a chemical energy changes to light
energy.If we can't learn from this mechanically-provoking
illustrations,then we must be ready to see the devil face-to-face or
live with him in face-me-I-face you house.And before we know it,things
we no longer be at ease,and that's why we must as a matter of urgency
have our memory restored.
To help us see this issue as a pressing one,I'd like to filter this stuff through the grid of the scripture.
Apostle Paul in his letter to Titus in Titus 1:5 says:'The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished...'
On getting to this verse,I asked myself;why must apostle paul sent an alarm to Titus not to forget his mission?
Well,unless I miss my guess,there's high tendency for Titus to play away his mission because the people of Crete are not easy fellow (there testimony was given in vs 12,they are always liars,evil brutes,lazy gluttons) paul seeing this was passionate to tell Titus not to forget the main reason why he's still staying in crete.He should know that his task was to preach,teach,evangelise and bring orderliness to these guys.This means that,if Titus do not do well in keeping his purpose of being in Crete alive,he should expect more of absurdities than the one mentioned.By implication,the burdens of cretians lie on him,and that's why paul urged him to 'straighten out what was left unfinished'
The simple challenge is that:have we not forgotten our mission on earth? Have not throw into dustbin Matthew 28:19-20? Are we really showing christ in our environ? Are we really the shinning light that would end the world of darkness? Have you forgotten that the world is waiting for a terrific change?
I think these are few questions we must reflect on if really we want to do away with a volatile memory.
If you're indeed serious to rescue this crooked and depraved generation,kindly shun ungodliness and worldly passions because you can't be darkness and light at the same time.
If you've not been representing Jesus well,this is another opportunity to do so by reflecting on why you're living upto this present moment.I s it to eat,drink,play et al or to bring down the work of darkness? God is waiting for you and I to turn the world upside down by the word of God.

EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW
There's something special about God's word that's always amazing,and
interesting which always make me fall in love with it as much as I
ponder on it.
This aspect of Jesus occured to me this morning which I think it's worth sharing.
The ministry of Jesus was without the presence of the Pharises.They're religion police that constantly spy on Jesus where ever he goes.In fact,on the cornfield,they're there and you wonder why they still keep watch on him while on the field.I realised that the pharises whose head was nothing but the book of law would not stop causing trouble and rationalizing.
But this one thing I discovered;the fact is just that,the Pharises are not void of what the response of Jesus Christ would be,still they won't stop engaging him in annoying questions,but no matter how annoying they're,Jesus is always kind in teaching them and not resentful.But the question that hits me hard was:why would they not stop coming even when they know what Jesus' response(s) would be knowing fully that they can't win him in the game? To this end,let's briefly see a simple lesson we can stew out of this.
The life of Jesus is a classic prototype to what christianity is all about.Eventhough,your friends know your spiritual stand and fervency,that'd not stop them from coming to tempt your rigidity.The fact that you are known by all and sundry to be a spiritual chap,that is not a ticket for a temptation free life.Always expect those temptations and test of biblical knowledge in a reoccuring decimal.
If you teach about fornication,that doesn't mean that you will not be confronted with temptation on what you've taught.
But this very thing is germane to your ability to overcome the Pharises that'd question your knowledge/faith,and that's your ability to be in tune with the word of God and the power of the Holy spirit.You will notice that,all the response of Jesus were so great that it's beyond their ability to answer or give a reply.Do you think that Jesus' words is just an ordinary one? No! It's a word given by the power of the Holy ghost.And that's why you must not joke with the Holy spirit and the word of God.
The fact that they know you'll not join the multitude to do evil won't discouraged them from coming to you.An example would be relevant here.In one of my exams,a teacher came to me,persuading me to take an expo,even when he knew I'm strongly against such,yet he came.I told him I can't do that,and he said that he knew I'd not.That you hate evil desires of the world,won't stop them trying to entice you with their words,mode of dressing and the likes.And if care is not taken,you may fall for them.Jesus' knowledge is unsearchable for them because He operates not in the flesh.
This is the simple charge friends,'even when they know that you won't coincide with immoralities,that won't stop them from coming' But hear what Paul told the people of Thessalonia,'...Be alert and self-controlled'
I pray God'll help you to turn down the offer even when you've the opportunity to take it .

STOP
When am not a traffic light,why'd I tell you to stop.Well,this must be the crazy aspect of Isaac (you think so?) Well, I won't like to waste your time,afterall you've seen a traffic light that propagates red light before.Abi you never see am before? Now,jokes apart,let me be serious in discussing this topic.
As I was reading with a keen attention the letter of apostle Paul to his beloved son,Timothy,I came to a place that caused a pause while reading. sincerely its worths a complete attention.Apostle Paul said to Timothy that,'stop drinking only water,use a little of wine because of your stomach and frequent illness' Beyond the prism of what you're thinking about the verse is simply what I wonna discuss.
Note from the passage the word 'STOP'-which is a command.Bro.Paul in this statement was not bargaining with Timothy neither was he suggesting that he should or should not.The statement reveals the level of intimacy of paul with Timothy.
Having this understanding,you'll discover that paul's command was to save Timothy from health failure.You're surprised where Paul got such a prescription.I surmise that Paul loved Timothy so well that he went on research to know what'll better his health.I salute Paul's courage!
So,what do we need out of this? I've come to this logical conclusion that;it'll be a big loss if you've a friend who is watching you barrelling down the way to hell.If a friend of yours can't sincerely tell you how confused your ways of life is,s/he is not a true friend.A friend that can't clearly speak you to face of your evil deeds should be done away with! Possibly,if your friend can't suggest what's good for both your spiritual and physical life,he is worst than lucifer.
Listen friends,if your bossom friends can't tell you that truth,I'll like to take up that responsibility.
Now,I'm your friend by this standard.Do you know that you're treading a path of no return if all you do is to indulge in sexual immoralities? Don't you know that you should stop wasting your time on worldly activities and start feeding yourself with the right words of God? I've come to tell you to stop 'feeding your eyes with porn movies,and start studying the God's word.Help yourself by walking in a godly manner and appearing descently instead of offering a free porn shows to people and at the same time polluting the spiritual eyes of some brethren.Stop malicious talk,stop unnecessary gisting and jokes,stop blaspheming the name of God among the gentiles.
Let me stop here to tell you that 'stop whatsoever that's sinful and give much attention to godly characters.
This my epistle to you friend.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
In recent past,I've had alot of confrontation with people,trying to call their most attention to how dangerous the way they're treading may be.In most cases,I give myself worries on how would somebody be living a wayward life or creaming sexual immoralities in this already crooked and depraved generation.When I see ladies wearing dresses that reveals their inner wears,I shake my head in regret.Seeing them wearing dresses that accentuate the size of the buttock,makes me to see how perversed this generation is.However,not all do this.A lady on my twitter said something yesterday that;' there're some clothes females should just say No to.How can you wear something that makes the contour of your 'down below' obvious'? Shiish'
In the ministry of having a sterile society and a church free of immoralities,teachings are directed towards such unfortunate happenings in our churches,but it seems that it all fell on their dead ear.The response we received in most cases are discouraging and before you know it,they'd have given you names,like 'Old school boy'
The recent one was my passion to discourage some guys from chatting and browsing while the service is going on in the church,but you can't just believe how obnoxious their response were.kai! It takes knowledge to speak with these guys.I can go on and on if it comes to how fast these spectacle of absurdities is travelling in our society.
As a result of the stubborness of people who are adding petrol to the inferno of the evil in our society,I've come to this conclusion i.e to 'Mind My Own Business'
I think there is little you and I can do for others,and so it'd be wise enough not to stretch ourselves beyond the elastic limit.
Apostle Paul in 1Thess 4:11 says,'make it your ambition to lead a quiet life,to mind your own business'
I'm pretty sure that I must really mind my business,though truth must be told,but the fact is that:a son of perdition would always be a son of perdition.
For this same reason,I've discovered that,there is a need to give much attention to myself than I do on others.Yeah! To correct others is not a sin,but it's good to know that the journey to heaven is personal.You'll go your way,and I'll go mine.So,if somebody likes,let him listen,if not,mind your own business,atleast that is the best response you can get fron a handful number of them i.e Mind Your Own Business.
It's this sense of mine that makes me to consider apostle Paul letter to the Galatians relevant here.Galatians 6:4,'Each one should test his own actions.Then he can take pride in himself,without comparing himself to somebody else, v5 for each one should carry his own load.
Obviously,we'd be missing alot about our own ways of life if we want to be the doctor of all.Let me carry my load,because it's personal!
Let's give much focus on ourselves than we do on others.However,if God gives you grace to do so,do it but becareful lest you fall.
Friends,I'm not discouraging correcting people because this is what I love doing,however you must give more attention to yourself,minding your busines!
The more attention you give to others,the less you'd be giving to yourself.Let each work out his/her salvation with fear and trembling.
For now,I'm minding my own business.
God bless.

It's this sense of mine that makes me to consider apostle Paul letter to the Galatians relevant here.Galatians 6:4,'Each one should test his own actions.Then he can take pride in himself,without comparing himself to somebody else, v5 for each one should carry his own load.
Obviously,we'd be missing alot about our own ways of life if we want to be the doctor of all.Let me carry my load,because it's personal!
Let's give much focus on ourselves than we do on others.However,if God gives you grace to do so,do it but becareful lest you fall.
Friends,I'm not discouraging correcting people because this is what I love doing,however you must give more attention to yourself,minding your busines!
The more attention you give to others,the less you'd be giving to yourself.Let each work out his/her salvation with fear and trembling.
For now,I'm minding my own business.
God bless.
