BLESSED ABOVE LIMIT

You are not blessed because you are rich; you are rich because you are blessed. There are so many people that are in possession of money and riches that are not blessed. Often when blessing is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is money, riches, and wealth. But these are just a part to it but never the whole to it. Because many seem to lack this understanding, they do even the unthinkable to have it money. I say have because in essence they are not blessed; the wealth is gotten by their effort and lacked the blessing of God. Also it is not in man to bless himself/herself; it is God that releases blessing that makes rich – Labor not to be rich Proverb 23:4. The major reason for much labor for riches is due to lack of the understanding of the nature of our blessing and the mindset of lack developed over a long time. This mindset has much become part of many yet effort are not been made to deal with this mindset. NATURE OF OUR BLESSING The blessing has a nature peculiar to i...

ESSENTIALS OF PARENTING

According to Wikipedia ”Parenting (or child rearing) is a process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood”. For me I believe that parenting is a full time task and all involving. To make progress in parenting, parents must consciously take steps and make decisions that will guarantee real success. There are some basic requirements for an effective parenting; these requirements are the essentials of parenting. No doubt parenting requires some basic skills.

Every child is a one of its kind and not one of their kinds. ESSENTIAL #2 : Make effort to understand their uniqueness. This is a task every parent must face; until their uniqueness is well appreciated, no progress is possible in parenting. Spend t...

MEETING OTHERS NEEDS

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. Mathew 23:11 A servant is someone who serves others and it demands a lot of discipline for one to be at the service of others. It is pretty easier and more conventional to have people serve you than it is to serve others. Easier to notice what is not done well than it is to actually do it well, and service is about being involved in doing it well. I have noticed a desire among people, this desire is often very strong and cuts across sex, ethnicity, race, class, name it. This desire is a desire to be outstanding in a chosen field of endeavor. But only a few of this great multitude that desire this actually stand out; the reason is very obvious, the lack of readiness to pay the supreme price of service, serving the interest of others. The criteria for greatness in life still remain readiness to serve; the servant will forever be the greatest anywhere, anytime. Someone tried to compare ancient architectural works of Egypt with...
