Touching Story - Father Decided To Re-Marry


Touching Story! 😓😪

An 8-year-old boy lost his mum. He was so sad and depressed. A year after his Mum's demise, his father decided to re-marry.

One day, the boy's father called him and asked, "Is there any difference between your mother and and your step-mother?"

The boy answered, "Yes." His dad then asked him, "What's the difference?" The boy innocently replied, "My mother used to lie to me but my step mother doesn't."

His Father was surprised, he asked, "What do you mean? "The boy then replied, "When I go to my friends house, I usually play rough, my mum would tell me not to play rough or else she won't give me food. When my mum sees that I wasn't at home at the expected time, she would leave whatever she was doing and come to meet me wherever I was. She would then take me home and give me food. But my stepmother always keeps to her word. I have been hungry for the past two days. I MISS MY MUM.

LESSON: 
No one can take the place of a mother. May our Mothers live to eat the fruit of their labor.

Raising Godly Children In This Wicked World


If you're a parent, you know this fight is real. Children are without a doubt a blessing from God, and we have the task of teaching them about God, Jesus and how to live according to God's principles. We are entrusted with their education and well-being, both physically and spiritually. Unfortunately, as the gap between godly and worldly values ​​​​widens, raising godly children can seem like an increasingly difficult challenge.

What can you do to protect your children in a world whose priorities are far from the Word of God? How can you protect them from the enemy who wants to use this world's system to steal, kill and destroy their future? How do you teach them to choose the way of God and not the way of the world?

Here Are Some Tips To Help You Raise Godly Children In A Godless World:

1. Protect Their Minds:
We live in a media-centric society and there is practically no way around it. So what can we do to protect children's minds from being inundated with messages that could hamper their spiritual development?


2. Be Attentive To Your Social Networks:
No need to block social networking sites. However, it is important that we are aware of the increasingly violent and vulgar things that children are exposed to on social networks. To help, see if sites have parental controls to prevent exposing children to inappropriate themes and images. At a minimum, we should monitor who our children are interacting with online and what they are viewing by reviewing their account history.


3. Monitor Movies And Video Games:
The Bible is very clear about filling our minds with good things. Philippians 4: 8 (NKJV) tells us: “Finally, brothers, think about everything that is true, about everything honest, about everything just, about everything pure, about everything lovely, about everything that is worthy of praise; if there is any virtue in it, if there is anything to admire, think of it.'

We have to carefully monitor the movies and video games our children watch. Before deciding the suitability of a movie or game based on its rating, consider checking out the broad ratings on the internet, they will give you a suggested age range for specific movies and games, as well as a detailed summary of the content, including the content. language, violence and sex scenes.


4. Protect Your Child's Spirit:
Protecting your child's spirit begins at home. The stronger your children's foundation of principles, the easier it will be for them to trust their own values ​​and beliefs. You are probably familiar with Proverbs 22:6 (ESV). This writing is a basic principle of child development that may be every parent's best resource. "Teach the child to faithfully follow his path from her, and even if he grows old he will not depart from it."


5. Time With God In The Mornings:
Start the day with the Word of God. Find a devotional that is appropriate for your child and read it together over breakfast. Speak positive words throughout the day and determine to approach every situation with faith.


6. Time With God At Night:
Most of us have a nightly prayer ritual with our children, to thank God for the day and have a restful night. But consider making this a reflection of morning time with God as well. Review your child's day with them. Ask if they had any situations with friends or teachers, and how they handled it. If you feel it didn't go well, discuss together a better way to handle those situations in the future.


7. Role-Playing Game:
Sometimes it is helpful to resolve a situation before facing it. If you're giving a presentation at work, for example, you can rehearse in front of the mirror the night before. A similar approach is very useful for children. Ask your children what kinds of negative situations they think they might encounter at school, in the neighborhood, or at church. For example, they might tell you about another child who encourages them to do something they know is wrong. Do a role play with them. Be the other child and allow your child to recognize how he would respond to her in a situation like that.


8. Keep Them Busy:
Sometimes the best way to limit the influences of a world system that permeates everything our children see and hear is to simply keep them busy. This doesn't mean overloading them and dragging them from one lesson or activity to another, but it does mean making sure they have more to occupy their time than just social media and texting.


9. Sports
Physical activity is great for your child's health and a natural antidepressant. There are usually a large number of sports organizations sponsored by the city. You may even want to check your town to see if there are any Christian sports leagues.


10. Family Activities
When everyone is home, are they each in a separate room, doing their own thing? Consider scheduling a regular family game night. When everyone is playing together, it's a good time to talk informally about topics that may seem too intimidating for direct, face-to-face conversation.


11. Family Meals
It's understandable that many of us are busy with the hustle and bustle of life, but studies show that children who have dinner with their parents at least three times a week develop stronger relationships with them. If dining together often seems like an impossible task, start with one or two nights a week and work your way up from there. Every little bit counts.

Raising godly children may seem like a monumental task, but remember, you have the help of the best parent there is: God! Keep his Word before your eyes and confess it with your mouth every day. Stand firm in faith, believing that He has equipped you with everything you need to help them become mature, godly, and responsible adults who will build and promote the kingdom of God.

Reasons Why You Should Raise Godly Children


If you are a Godly husband or Godly wife, you must raise Godly children. Many parents, including Christian parents, think that raising a child is about bringing them to Church after providing all the basic comforts the child needs. Well, raising Godly children goes beyond taking them to Church. Eli's sons grew up in the temple, and yet they were not Godly.

The moment you lose conscience as a parent, the enemy is not far from inflicting evil on the heart of your little one. It is because the heart of a small child is fragile. It can allow the manipulation of the devil. The book of Proverbs 22:6 instructs a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Raising godly children is our duty as parents to children and our commitment to God. Being a Pastor does not make your children Godly. It requires a constant effort to achieve it. Eli was a priest, but his sons wallow in sin and iniquity. He was so busy with his priesthood duty that he did not see fit to reprimand his sons when the need arose. The successful existence of our children affects our moral and spiritual behavior and our alertness. The devil cannot be allowed to take over the minds of his children from him.

You need to raise godly children. Hope this article awakens the sleeping Christians father and mother within you and make amendments when necessary.

Reasons Why You Should Raise Godly Children:

1. Because God Ordained It:
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old, he will not depart from it. ~Proverbs 22:6 

First, before anything else, the reason why you should strive to raise your children in the way of the Lord is that God ordained it. God is no stranger to the damage he harbors in the mind of a little one when he is not cared for properly. That is why God instructed that children be brought up in the way of the Lord so that when they grow up, they will not depart from him.

That is why the Scripture warns that they are trained in the way they must follow so that when they grow up, they do not stray from it.

2. Because His Destiny Depends On Him:
God is the author of everyone's destiny. You must do your part as parents, not ruin your children's destiny as parents. Eli was from the lineage of Leviticus. His family of him was born to be priests of the Lord. Eli, because he was well educated by his father, rose to the position of the priesthood. However, after Eli became a priest, he was so busy that he refused to raise his children in the way of the Lord.

Eli's sons would steal from the offerings that the people have given for the sacrifice. They sleep with different women. And while this was going on, people would tell him about the vile act perpetrated by Eli's sons, and yet he would do nothing about it. The wrath of the Lord seized the sons of Eli; they mysteriously died. The news of Eli's death was too much for him. The scripture records that Eli died, breaking his neck and choking on vomit.

Because Eli relented in raising his sons in a godly way, God declared that Eli and their homes are separated from His favor.

3. So They Can Give You Rest:
Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul. ~Proverbs 29:17 

Most likely, you are tormented by the mistake of not raising your children in the way of the Lord. A child raised in a pious way will fear God and will do everything that God commanded, including obeying his parents. However, a child whose upbringing is deprived of mercy will do almost anything.

When you are old and your strength fails, your work with the children will determine whether or not you will find rest before death. We have seen quite a few cases of children hitting their elderly parents. We have cases of children who have gotten their parents into one problem or another. In fact, the Scripture was not wrong when it commanded that children be brought up in the way of the Lord so that they might give their parents rest.

4. So That The Enemy Does Not Win The Soul:
After all your efforts here on earth, it will be an epic failure if you allow the devil to win the soul of your children. The scripture says in the book of 1 Peter 5: 8, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

The devil walks day and night looking for someone to devour. He would not devour them by eating his flesh from him. He will devour them, destroy their justice and make them a more useful tool for themselves. However, this can be avoided by making a conscious effort to raise a child in the way of the Lord.

5. So That They Can Be Useful To God:
And the child Samuel grew in stature, and in favor with the LORD and men. ~1 Samuel 2:26 

The main purpose of our existence as humans is to serve God, although we have other divine purposes to fulfill on earth. Samuel was dedicated to the things of the Lord by his mother, Hannah. So Samuel grew up in the temple of the Lord, serving under Eli the priest.

When children are raised in the way of the Lord, they are not only valuable to the parents; they become a powerful tools in the hands of God.

In conclusion, godly parenting is very important in the life of any child. He must make sure to play his part in it today as a father.

Advice To Men About Their Pregnant Wives


I am a man, but today I want us to discuss about Pregnancy.

Do you know that certain things you do when your wife is pregnant actually contribute to the state of health of the mother and unborn child?

Listen, it bothers me a lot when I see men showing no concern for their pregnant wives or failing to adjust to some temporary changes!

It's just 9 months, not like it's forever. Pregnancy is not bought in the market, nor is it software downloaded from the internet. It's a seed planted by us men and is germinating. There has to be a carrier of that seed while it grows, and women have been given the responsibility to carry it.

Pregnancy is preparation to welcome a new member into the family. Pregnancy is a journey fun-filled, amazing, etc.

Women differ in body changes. Although Pregnancy makes women do certain things in common.

■ Once in a while she would nag.

■ Once in a while she would request things unimaginable food e.g she wants to eat Lady Finger and Bread.

■ Once in a while she would get so lazy to make you your meals.

■ Once in a while she would want to stretch her legs on your lap. Please pardon her! Carrying the baby ain't easy.

Her needs may be unsatisfiable at times.

The first Trimester of the journey can be so annoying. Like I say women differ from each other during pregnancy.

● While most women are busy vomiting.

● Most of them sleep like water leaves. They sleep off anywhere with the slightest chance even in the kitchen.

● While most women have a fever.

● Most women be looking cranky and dry like Dustin powder.

● While most women add up weight.

Please tolerate this, it's beautiful afterward.

Her attitude becomes annoying, most times you can't stand her. It's so sad to see men neglect their pregnant wives. She's not an abomination, and neither is she a curse. I must say, it's not an easy journey for all.

The last Trimester is when we need to be extra patient, loving, enduring, and understanding.

NOTE!

1) Always observe your wife's feet while pregnant, it swells often. Please give her a basin of water to soak her leg once in a while, it's one of the best treats women enjoy during pregnancy.

2) Ask her regularly how she feels and how the baby is. She's the carrier so she feels him/her move.

3) Tell her how beautiful she looks during pregnancy e.g " Honey see as the pregnancy makes you fine, I will be impregnating you every month ooo" or even "is it my child that makes you fresh like this past normal" Even if she has grown bigger in size cause of the pregnancy, celebrate her.

4) Don't be upset if she ever wakes you up by 2am to help massage her feet. We need to feel a little of her discomfort and pain. She shouldn't carry it alone, it's our baby, we need to carry it together. (I don't mean physical carriage though).

5) No rule book stopped sex during pregnancy, in short, it's the best self.... do it. It's not like the vagina stopped working during pregnancy. o boy continues the work that brings the pregnancy.

6) Don't be ashamed to take her out. Take her out once in a while to those lovie dovie places you used to go together. They love it!

Most times I wonder what crosses the heart of men when they see their pregnant wives. Carrying a child for 9 months isn't easy.

I urge all men to get closer to their spouses during pregnancy because that's one of the times she needs you most.

A big shout out to all men who fully stand by their wives during pregnancy. 

God bless you all the women after delivery!

Ask forgiveness from your husband for been with you at the time of need because is not easy.

Penniless Father Of Three Kids Commits Suicide


Phillip Herron was a single father raising his three children, struggling with crushing debt of over $20,000, and was desperately waiting for a Payday loan he'd applied for. 

But it was paid in arrears, with a 5-week wait time but the desperate father could not wait for that long which drove him even deeper into debt, and when he died he had $4.61 in his bank account and clearly couldn't see any other way out.

Like many people, especially men, he kept all of this to himself, nobody else knew how bad things were getting. This poor man even had to tell his children that Santa Claus wouldn’t come this year, and in his suicide note, he wrote that they'd be better off if he weren't around anymore.

Moments before his death, Herron posted a photo on social media on March 18 of him sitting in his car as he wept.

He left a note that was found by his mother, Sheena Derbyshire: in it, he said that his family "would be better off without him."  

 
“His death was a total shock. I couldn't understand why I would do this," Derbyshire said in an interview with Daily Mirror in an interview.

Since no one knew of Phillip Herron's problems, his mother linked the events that led to his suicide.

Derbyshire found an eviction notice hidden in her son's house. Then, she cracked the password on her phone. Phillip's phone password, and discovered hundreds of phone calls where he was aggressive with his interlocutors.

"I heard him talk about suicide. I wish she had told us how she felt, but we never knew," the mother lamented.

8. Teach them by your example. Your actions speak louder than your words. Your children will imitate your behavior whether you want it or not. You're consistent with what you say and do.
