WISDOM CORNER

He was in his early 50s.

He was deeply in debt.

He couldn't pay his children school fees.

His landlord had given him quit notice.

Six months salary is being owed at the office.

Then he received a message that his old mum is very sick in the village.

He was devastated and felt terrible about life.

Nobody was willing to help him. Disappointments everywhere he turned.

He considered himself a failure.

He had two options left playing on his mind: disappear and go underground or commit su***de.

Then he decided one more time to confide in one of his friends on how life has been dealing with him.

The friend encouraged him to keep hope alive.

Then a week later, the friend called him to join him somewhere and he drove him to a prison.

They entered and saw the inmates.

He left there crying after seeing the prisoners' plight. One of the prisoners told them he's been there for five years for a crime he knows nothing about.

Then his friend drove him to an intensive care unit of a general hospital.

There...

He saw people who couldn't breathe by themselves but paying heavily daily to breathe with the aid of machine...

He saw people who couldn't urinate by themselves...

He saw people who are in coma...

He saw people who are on dialysis...

He saw people whose body already peeling on their sick beds.

He rushed out of the hospital and started crying profusely.

His friend ran after him and saw him broken and crying.

His friend asked him why he's crying.

He told him how shortsighted and ungrateful he has been.

He said, "I'm 1000% better than those guys both in prison and at the hospital...

I may not have money, I may be in debt, things may seems hard but I'm better...

With life, freedom and hope, anything can change.

Lord, I'm sorry...

Thank you for keeping me alive."

Dear friend,

Don't wait untill you're driven to mortuary before you start to appreciate God for all he has done for you from January till this month of December inspite of your challenges.

It's season of thanksgiving...

Be grateful to God because I see him doing more for you this season and beyond. By God grace i will hear your testimony .

See you & Family in 2022 in the mighty name of God. Amen.

*RAISING RESPONSIBLE CHILDREN*

1. Give your children age-appropriate domestic tasks, even if you have a thousand and one domestic servants at home. It is sheer ignorance to think that doing everything for your children is a mark of honour or a way of bequeathing royalty on them.

2. Teach them to be useful and make their impact felt positively wherever they are found – in the school, place of worship, in another person’s home, etc.

3. Encourage your children to always leave a good impression wherever they go to; teach them to be courteous, respectful, friendly, cheerful and helpful.

4. Teach them good toilet manners – they must know how to keep the toilet neat for the next user, let them know that it is unacceptable to leave the bathroom floor and/or walls messed with soap, foam or any form dirt after bathing.

5. Teach your children the importance of taking good care of their body and their environment; whether they are at home or elsewhere. Remind them that responsible people don’t leave their rooms unkempt or their bed unmade when they get up in the morning; teach them to bath very well and smell fine always. It is unbearable to have a smelly young person around you; let them take care of their armpits, teeth, hair, nail, etc.

6. Teach your children to manage their used clothes and other personal belongings very well, whether in their home or elsewhere. It can be irritating to have dirty clothes or shoes, especially those of a visitor litter every corner of the house.

7. Let them pack their toiletries before leaving home. Your children should not depend on their hosts for their basic toiletries like soap, cream, tooth paste and other essentials.

8. Teach your children to dress well all the time, especially when they are spending time with another family. You probably allow your daughters to dress in bum shots and your sons to walk about with their chest bare in your home, but they may not be safe if they do so in another place. You may not know where a predator would lie in wait for a child.

9. Teach them good table manners; not the one recited in nursery schools rhymes. Teach them to chew with their mouth covered, not to make noise with the cutlery on their teeth, not to talk with their mouth full, etc.

10. Let your children know that washing only their own plates after eating is not a noble idea.

11. Remind your children that jumping into a conversation when adults are talking is a sign of being ill-mannered. Discourage this both in your home and elsewhere.

12. Help your children not to be social birds online and anti-social bugs offline. They should relate well with people around them, much more than they do with virtual folks they meet online. Please, discourage this idea of young people locking themselves in the room hours on end without communicating with anyone in the house – all because they are on phone.

13. Empower your children to uphold your family values wherever they are. But before then, make sure that your family values are credible, empowering, socially and morally beneficial.

14. Teach your children to control their appetite and learn to turn down certain offers, even when such offers come from people they know. And at home, it is not compulsory that they must taste everything they see someone eating. This will help them to take their eyes away from certain things when they are in other people’s home.

15. Always remind your children that they are the window through which the world sees you. If your children’s behavior outside is bad, the general consensus is that they lack home training. And since children are not meant to give themselves home training, it means that you failed as a parent.

16. Finally, make sure your children know God. Salvation is not hereditary; that you are godly or highly spiritual is not a guarantee that your children are saved. You must consciously and deliberately lead them to God

My fellow parents, let us try our best to make sure these children represent us well. I am sure you will feel good if you come to your children’s school and people are pointing at you as the parent of the best behaved child in the school. Won’t you?

Make sure your hosts and the hosts of your children are always impressed to have you and/or your children around.

Above all, teach your children to make heaven. What shall it profit a man that gains the whole world and yet loses his own soul. The degrees and mannerisms will mean nothing if our children don’t make heaven.

*May the ever good Lord help us to teach our children to be responsible and successful. Amen

*BIG SECRETS IN MARRIAGE!*

*Secret 1*

Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength.

*Secret 2*

Everyone has a dark history. No one is an angel. When you get married or you want to get married stop digging into someone's past. What matters most is the present life of your partner. Old things have passed away. Forgive and forget. Focus on the present and the future.

*Secret 3*

Every marriage has its own challenges. Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every good marriage has gone through its own test of blazing fire. True love proves in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there.

*Secret 4*

Every marriage has different levels of success. Don't compare your marriage with any one else. We can never be equal. Some will be far, some behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time your marriage dreams shall come true.

*Secret 5*

To get married is declaring war. When you get married you must declare war against enemies of marriage. Some enemies of marriage are:
Ignorance
Prayerlessness
Unforgiveness
Third party influence
Stinginess
Stubbornness
Lack of love
Rudeness
Laziness
Disrespect
Cheating
Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

*Secret 6*

There is no perfect marriage. There is no ready made marriage. Marriage is hard work. Volunteer yourself to work daily on it. Marriage is like a car that needs proper maintenance and proper service. If this is not done it will break down somewhere exposing the owner to danger or some unhealthy circumstances. Let us not be careless about our marriages.

*Secret 7*

God cannot give you a complete person you desire. He gives you the person in the form of raw materials in order for you to mould the person that you desire. This can only be achieved through prayer, love and Patience

*Secret 8*

Getting married is taking a huge risk. You can not predict what will happen in the future. Situations may change so leave room for adjustments. Husband can lose his good job or you may fail to have babies. All these require you to be prayerful otherwise you might divorce.

*Secret 9*

Marriage is not a contract. It is permanent. It needs total commitment. Love is the glue that sticks the couple together. Divorce start in the mind and the devil feeds the mind. Never ever entertain thoughts of getting a divorce. Never threaten your spouse with divorce. Choose to remain married. God hates divorce.

*Secret 10*

Every marriage has a price to pay. Marriage is like a bank account. It is the money that you deposit that you withdraw. If you don't deposit love, peace and care into your marriage, you are not a candidate for a blissful home.

So today let us pray for our marriages. Send to those you care about because you never know who you may be helping. May God bless you all.

WISDOM CORNER

THE GREATEST MARITAL WAR

People are told marriage is sweet but the sweetness evaporates after few months or few years in it for many.

Many of such begin to wonder what happened to the marital honey that has now turned to marital bile.

Let me tell you a painful truth.

MARRIAGE IS WAR

Unfortunately, it's not a war against external foes but a war against the internal ones - YOUR ATTITUDE

MARRIAGE IS THE WAR OF ATTITUDES.

Making your attitudes blend with your spouse's weaknesses in such a way you can accommodate such until your partner overcomes such is the war you must fight to conquer.

Marital chaos is not much of what our partner does but more of our attitudes towards such.

Most times what we are trying to deal with in our partners is basically what should be dealt with in ours.

When you overcome your weakness, you empower the strength of your partner. The more we try to fight with our partners to change without looking at the fact they might just be responding to our thoughts and attitudes vibrations the more we create problems and complicate issues.

Most chaos in homes work with GIGO principle. Garbage In Garbage Out. Invest negative attitudes get out negative attitudes. Invest positive attitudes get out positive attitudes.

Unfortunately, there are no prayer points or deliverance for bad attitudes. You simply need to swallow your pride, reprogramme your mind, change your value system and PRACTISE SERIOUS DISCIPLINE.

I'm amused when I see couples praying and even fasting hard to overcome marital chaos and neglect to check the attitudes causing the problem.

Like I tell my disciples, Satan and his puppies can't use what is not in you to get you. Your attitude weakness is the magnet that attracts them.

We all have that BEAST (Bad Attitude) in us. Forget the anointing or grace anyone carries, if that beast is not tamed, it would cause havoc.

We must chain that beast in us and paralyse it with the power of humility. What empowers the beast is the catalyst called PRIDE.

The more humble we are, the more we overcome our weaknesses and manifest good attitudes. But the prouder we are the more the beast of bad attitudes is empowered.

If there is one war you must overcome to have a good marriage is the WAR AGAINST BAD ATTITUDES.

Do you know in letter codes ATTITUDE alone carries one hundred percent. A-1 T- 20 T- 20 I-9 T- 20 U- 21 D- 4 E- 5

Let's add the numbers together,

1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100

Your only hope for a good harmonious joyful marriage is GOOD ATTITUDE

This is why you see some folks we call unbelievers having happy homes and we who claim to know the truth have awful homes.

Anointing does not make a good marriage. If it does many bishops and pastors would not have divorced or have wrestlemania as marriages.

How can we win this war against BAD ATTITUDES?

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?

Stop competing with your spouse.

YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO COMPETE BUT COMPLEMENT.

You are one already though with your differences. Your wife is you and you are your wife. You are now one great ENTITY not ENTITIES.

The value you place on yourself is the value you must place on your spouse. Stop thinking you're better than your partner. You can only be better than yourself not your partner. This in turn makes your partner better. Change yourself for the better and your partner will eventually respond to the change in you.

YOUR PARTNER ISN'T YOUR COMPETITOR.

YOUR ONLY COMPETITOR IS YOURSELF.

BECOME THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF.

You're a HUMAN SOFTWARE that must be UPDATED frequently with the spirit of love, value, humility, respect and harmony.

Let me stop here for now. I believe I have communicated in my own little way.

*10 BAD HABITS YOU MUST AVOID IN CHURCH IN 2021.*
1. ■ Constant lateness to church services and meetings. It proves that your love for God and the things of the Kingdom has grown cold. Wake up before it is too late.

2.■ Refusing to sit where the ushers direct you to sit, it's a sign of pride. Stop it.

3. ■ Always running out to pick calls with your phone ringing out so loud. Switch off or mute your phone as soon you get to church.

4. ■ Receiving calls repeatedly during every church services. It shows where your heart, your values and priorities are. Stop it.

5. ■ Chewing gum or sleeping in church during sermon. Remember the church is neither a cinema hall nor a hotel. Please show reverence to your maker.

6. ■ Sitting down during prayer or praise/worship session without any medical or health reasons. This makes you look very odd and unspiritual. Stop it.

7. ■ Always looking at the church clock or your wrist watch during church hours insinuating that church should close. Please stop it.

8. ■ Chatting and playing games on your phone during church service. It shows you are not spiritual. Please stop it.

9. ■ Always leaving the church before closure for no particular appointment, making others who choose to stay till the end of service feel they don't know what to do with their time. Stop it.

10. ■ Gathering and walking all about outside the church with other members to gossip or discuss football, church admin matters and politics while service is going on. Stop it!

My beloved in christ, kindly try to lead by example this new year with good character and attitudes and I pray this year will be your year of divine promotion, success & elevation in Jesus Mighty Name.

FORWARD TO ALL CHRISTIAN DEPARTMENTS AND GROUPS IN LP 61...

LETS HONOUR GOD WITH REVERENCE AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE THIS YEAR OF RESTORATION AND COMPENSATION IN JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME AMEN.

Too many church leaders are becoming health liabilities with stroke, heart attacks, infirmities and dying prematurely as a result of stress and not taking heed to this kind of teachings. I to made this mistake some few years back, but the Lord had mercy on me and healed me, that’s why I can bring this to you.
MINISTERIAL STRESS AND BURNOUT

Some few days back, a Pastor was preaching in his church and people were really enjoying the sermon. Then suddenly he froze and had to be rushed to the hospital and had not opened his eyes as the time of writing this!

Another Pastor went to a mountain, proposing to fast for 100 days. He started and on the 31st day of the dry fast, he collapsed, started shaking, could not speak and lost the use of his hands and legs. His sugar level was finished and he is still battling with his health till now.

A Pastor was preaching vigorously and suddenly fell down from the pulpit and died there. And another Pastor went for a medical test. He is 50 years old, but the test result showed that his heart is that of an 80 year old!

All these are not spiritual attacks, but results of stress, overwork and lack of work-life balance by ministers of the gospel.

A. Scriptural Foundation – 1 Kings 19:1-4; 2 Kings 13:14-21

Being a minister is a 24/7 job. Being a Pastor is the toughest job in the whole world. And most ministers are workaholic and work-addict, which results in stress and burnout. Stress is a state/condition of tiredness, weariness, pain in the body, exhaustion, lack of sleep, rest, having emotional issues and obesity – yet you can’t stop, because there is much to do!

Here are those things that stress ministers:-

▪ Church stagnation.
▪ Financial pressure.
▪ Pressure to perform.
▪ Crowded programmes.
▪ Elephant projects.
▪ Unrealistic expectations.
▪ Emotional worries.
▪ Problematic members.
▪ Troublesome associates.
▪ Church bills/remittances.
▪ Low attendance.
▪ Problems at the home front.
▪ Superiors’ pressures.
▪ Pulpit manners.

Quite sad, that most modern Pastors and ministers are under tremendous stress as a result of these stress-inducing factors. Ministers that juggle all these together will definitely end up stressed and experience burnout.

B. The Adverse Effects of Stress And Burnout – 1 Kings 19:1-4; 1 Samuel 13:8-14

Burnout leads to loss of interest, lack of emotion, loss of motivation and possible depression.
✓ Poor health- stroke, high or low sugar levels.
✓ Family crisis- separation, divorce and wayward children.
✓ Unresolved conflict- anger, hurts and terrible words.
✓ Poor performance - emotional depletion.
✓ Financial loss - debts, losses and poor decision making.

Getting angry, stressed up, hurts and becoming irrational are the outcome of stress and burnout.

C. Ministry-Life Balance – Matthew 11:28-30

It is vitally important that ministers are able to strike the much needed balance between ministry and living. If truly His yoke is easy, why are ministers experiencing being heavy laden in ministry? It is as a result of lack of balance on our part!

A balance minister must have;
▪ Emotional balance.
▪ Mental balance.
▪ Family balance.
▪ Spiritual balance.
▪ Social balance.
▪ Financial balance.
▪ Physical balance.
▪ Psychological balance.

If you are not balanced in these areas, then you can’t minister successfully to others. Here are steps to achieve this balance:

1. Re-order your priorities right: God first, family second, ministry last.
2. Eat healthy foods in measures: living foods not dead foods; and not after 6-7pm.
3. Drink alkaline or living waters.
4. Train others and delegate your work.
5. Spend time with your spouse and children.
6. Have peace with God and possess the peace of God – Isaiah 26:34.
7. Negate toxic feelings, thoughts and words.
8. Take healthy breaks to refresh yourself.
9. Take time to seek and wait upon God.
10. Exercise – walk, ride bicycle or stretch.
11. Take time off – vacations, holidays and rest periods.
12. Learn to sleep 7-8 hours night sleep. Catch a nap in the day time.
13. Rest in the Lord to work through you – not you working for Him.

It was Robert Murray Mchene who said, “God gave me a horse and a message, now I have killed the horse and could not deliver the message”. He said that on his death bed! He started ministry at 26 years and died at 29 years of age! What a loss!
