Fatherhood 101

As a father it is your solemn duty and responsibility to Love, serve and protect your wife and children, and teach them the statutes of God as the spiritual leaders of your home, be faithful to your wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down your life for her as Christ did it for you.

Teach your children to Love God with all their hearts, all their minds and all their strength, honour. Train them to honour authority, and live responsibly. You are to confront evil, pursue justice and love mercy.

Treat others with kindness, respect and compassion, work diligently to provide for the needs of your family, forgive those who have wronged you, and reconcile with those you have wronged. Walk in integrity as a man answerable to God, seek to honour God, obey His will and do His will. Make a vow that you and your house will serve the Lord.

I am praying for those of us who wish to make this resolution and commitment that God through Christ may give you the grace to live and honour this pact and be accountable to God, your wife and children. That God may give you the wisdom and knowledge to fulfil these God given responsibilities now and always as we raise another generation of sons and daughters.

May God give us the courage to face the challenges, controversy and conflicts that arise in your fatherly role and calling. I trust that Christ will guide you each step of the way, let us join hands and be better fathers as called to be by our creator. God Bless the Fathers.

CO-EXISTENCE IN 2017

As we approach the homestretch in this election cycle, emotions are high; politicians are running all over seeking votes. In all this, the voter is the target- being wooed to make a choice. Each side is busy portraying the other as being ineffective and clueless. Why do you support whomever it is you're supporting? Do you have to kill or destroy property that belongs to someone else just because he or she has a different opinion? What really drives you? If you strongly believe your candidate or party is best suited for a particular position why can't you find a civilised way of convincing those who have divergent opinions to see things your way? Let us take a moment and look back to where we have come from.  In 2007 the same politicians who are traversing the nation are the very one who came to us seeking our votes to put them into office. Most of them were in different camps, but today some have crossed over to the opponent of that day's side. The current deputy pre...

HOW TO MAKE YOUR WOMAN ENJOY BEING A WIFE

"Appreciate her effort" She sacrifices a lot to make sure you have a great home. It’s prudent that you notice her efforts and thank her. Compliment her on her diligence. "Help her out" Simple yet profound, step into the kitchen, make the bed, clean after yourself or even offer to help her with any chore once in a while. Your help will be reciprocated as she will do much more for the family.  "Marry her" With the current lifestyle, many men are so comfortable with the come we stay unions.

"Find time for her" I know you’re a busy man bringing in the bacon, but brother, look here; she didn’t come just for the fine things, she ...

CHRIST THE ULTIMATE

As I was doing my bible study this morning, I was led by the Spirit to Genesis 3: 1-7 . The devil corrupted Eve by planting doubt in Eve's mind vs1-3. The doubt made her question God's edicts and before she could respond the serpent corrupts and misrepresents God's instructions vs 4-5. The sum total is of this is revealed in vs 6-7. Eve couldn't fall alone, she had to rope in Adam and bam... sin entered the world. How many times have you doubted and yes even questioned God's command? You are walking with Lord then viola doubts take hold of you. The depth of this deception is depicted in James 1:6-8. The believer is left defenseless and faithless. This marks the beginning of the end of the believer unless he recognizes the sources and embraces Christ once more through repentance. That's why in the spiritual church, you are given the opportunity to repent and be right with God in each service. For without Faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6. ...
