THE PRAYERS

What many parents seems not to understand is that their children are the Ambassadors of their families and so what so ever they display outside of their house can be described or perceived by the society as a true reflection of what goes on in their families, recall that back in the days, children were always reminded by their parents whenever they are set to step out of their house not to forget the family they come from and in all honesty, such reminders and warnings helped in positively moulding the characters of many children as Ambassadors of their families.     While growing up, some families back in the village were treated like outcasts for the simple reasons that they lacked integrity or that someone from such family was once a criminal, it may interest you to know that pregnancy outside wedlock and stealing were enough taboos that worked against many families particularly in the area of marriage and no responsible family at that time will approve or allow their child...

Believe it or not, the real reason why there are many crisis in our society is simply because parents are neglecting their God given roles over their children, today's parents no longer apply discipline as a tool of correction and this is a very big problem as we now have children who behaves in whatever way they so desire. Before now, parents determines what happens in the family but now children in most homes are left to decide for themselves what cloth to wear, what hairstyles to make or cut and most disappointing of them all is that children from Christian homes now determines the church they attend different from the church you were brought up.    There's an urgent need for parents take control of the affairs in their family, failure to do so will amount to negligence on their path, parents must be ready to lead from the front as this is the only acceptable way to rid the society of all manners of antisocial behaviors. My beloved brethren in the Lord I believe that you ar...

   Permit me to state that parenting particularly in this part of the world is a serious business that must not be left in the hands of others, parents must understand that if they fail in their duties then they have failed God the one who blessed them with the children. Money is good but the general well being of any family is far more better, yes, money is required in meeting the needs of the family but money alone particularly in the way and manner its been pursued by most parents will never guarantee a healthy family unit.        Part of the reasons why anti-social behaviors such as cultism, prostitution, hard drugs addictions everywhere on our streets is because the family unit has collapsed and poor parenting is a major factor responsible for this. When parents decides to spend more time out there in search of money, who do they think will be monitoring the activities of their children for them? The practice whereby children are left in the care of ot...

   Back in the days, children were jointly raised by parents and other noble characters in the society such as extended family members, teachers, community and religious leaders, these group of well meaning persons disciplined badly behaved children in their communities even without any formal authorisation by their parents, as a matter of fact, upon their return from farms, work or market, parents whose child was disciplined by any of the earlier mentioned characters goes from house to house thanking them for the good job but all that has changed as we now find ourselves in a world where parents either by themselves or through their hired thugs storms their children schools to beat up their teachers for daring discipline them.         I'm convinced that perhaps one of the reasons why parents back in the days did not suffer much illnesses such as high blood pressure and depression like we have them today was because they allowed the community to be part of ...
