CONTENTMENT IS A VIRTUE EVERY CHILD SHOULD POSSESS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

I must be sincere with you that I can count how many clothes I got throughout my undergraduate days. It is not that I do not need them but I have been taught to be contented with whatsoever my parents were able to provide. I don't beg for things, I maximize my resources wisely and never wished to be someone else.

There are some people when going to attend a function, behold! All their combinations were borrowed from a friend. Though they have what they can manage but due to their discontentment, they prefer to borrow in order to look good and acceptable.

There are some children who when their parents pack some goodies in their lunch box, they will still look for a way to beg from their friends. They are not contented with what their parents were able to provide for them.

Monitor that child you gave food who in return gave you a contempt look because he expected the food to be more than that. It all starts from that point. Let him know how to be contented with what he has.

Please don't relax in praying for such child because he will be at risk in the future if he is not curbed earlier. Such child might turn to an armed robber or even a prostitute who sells her body to get money in return due to her discontentment.

You found new things in your child's wardrobe which you didn't know about, please don't ignore it, ask him questions. Know that you are accountable to him and he is also accountable to you.

As much as God provides for you, please meet the needs of your child. Don't deprive him of good things when you know it is in your capacity to do it.

Contentment is a virtue your child needs to possess!

I see God helping us to raise children for Him.

Train up a child in the way he should go: when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

THREE TYPES OF WOMEN (CHAPTER SIX)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL Moral to the story : Learn and live well. A caution: Stubbornness shuts the door on understanding.. The BIG Question :What type of man best suits me? The reason a good portion of your thoughts are wrapped up in thinking about certain men and the hopes of marriage is because you were hard-wired with the overwhelming need to be a wife and mother. It is a God-given need that only a man can fulfill. I can't think of one thing I would rather have than a man to really love me. It is supreme. A lovely person is easy to love. That is our goal. God wants us to make you become a lovely help meet. To be a good one takes effort… lots of effort. In this chapter, Debi Pearl outlined the different types of women we have: Dreamer gal, Servant girl, Go-to Gals. Dreamer girl A dreamer girl needs to know how to balance work with family or else she will sway from her responsibility to honour her ...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray. CAUTION: Don't pray amiss. The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right? God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning. When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy. I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me. So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms. For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things. A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE

HOW I NARROWLY ESCAPED RAPE Okay, before you go on, I am sending a big hug to you if you are a rape victim. I know it's not easy forgetting the ugly incidence but I want to tell you to let go of the past. I am not here to point accusing finger at you for whatever happened in the past. The past is past. Let your new you emerge. Come to love yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive that person who defiled you. Let God wrap you in His arms. Majority of rape incidence happens because of the carelessness on the part of the lady. A lady who's frequenting a guy's house in odd hours may not return the same way she came if she's not careful. We can't also overlook the fact that some guys are monsters. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They may appear harmless but they are like serpents. May God arrests their hearts. One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area. But when the local prince, Shechem son of ...
