A Firm Foundation [part2]

previously on this Blog, I shared about the importance of fathers in our society and the roles a father can play in the early stages of a child, I didn't know that I'd have to revisit the topic again, but after posting it, I felt like I'd some how limited my self to a few words, and so I've come back to the same post to see that I can at least talk some more about the fatherhood deficiency we are facing in our generation.

see, all this never started like this, it took just a few individuals that presented them selves as ready and free vessels to be used by the devil, and use them he did, our media started to get so sexualized, the right started to be deemed wrong, and the wrong started getting praized, so today we are having a battle, sex today is no longer respected like the purpose for its creation was, and for this reason, many fatherless kids are sprouting,or we see kids born to kids, a people with no knowledge of parenthood and responsibility concern.
All this has been done by the devil, so he can break down the foundations of the family, a one organization that is so important in the fabrics of our society today.

see previously I shared with U about my relationship with my own father, and I feel I shared just a little about it, so much went on between me and my dad, and today when I look back, I can see that the many things I've gone through, were as a result of a dad that was never present in my life, both physically and emotionally. my dad never sat down with me on any single day, to help me either make an academic
or even a moral decision that would greatly affect my life, I figured out how to push on with life all by myself, and on so many occasions I made mistakes due to ignorance, and just like I might also continue to make many more cuz I don't think the learning on my side, has stopped yet, im still learning and discovering, but Just imagine if I'd had a foundation and guidance from my dad?? wouldn't I be a better man today??
I just want to urge all of us here, the ladies and gentle men that enjoy reading this blog, how about we decide to inspire some of the men that we have influence over(either direct or indirect influence) to make better fathers?? we wouldn't be struggling with things like sexism if real men stood up to be real fathers, a great generation that respects women in their capacity as women will be created, and a great legacy will be birthed, such that even when we leave, we shall leave behind us a safer world!



I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says
the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:18

God identifies Himself as "Father" not because He is trying to act like
a human father. Human fathers are imperfect. God identifies Himself as
"Father" because He is perfect, holy, and does for people what a
perfect, holy, Father does.[cal, Bethlehem / Zion Lutheran parish

A firm Foundation

"

Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important" - B.O

im quoting these words from the only politician that has ever inspired me. - I never get inspirations from politicians!
alright fast forward, I was talking to a friend earlier in the day, and I felt compelled to confront something about our society today, im writing this, partly based on experience, and also based on observation as well. Im a firm and strong believer in family and family values.but I believe families today no longer hold on to the true values that were cherished back then when we were still young, or before some of us were born. And this comes due to many reasons, but mainly due to the lack of fathers in our generation today, a friend of mine one time stood up to speak, and they said, "we are a fatherless generation," and I think I believed her, but I wouldn't encourage her to go on with these claims, cuz truly, they dont inspire us to reach down with in us, and dig into the potential we as men, have got on the inside.
I've purposed in life, not to make a dad like my dad was, and of course this statement in its self just speaks a lot. only thing i knew of my dad, was paying for my school fees, buying food at home, and may be cloths while I was still young, and quite often barking and punishing me, that's the image of a father I got, u gon say, pretty sad, yes it really was sad, and every time I look back to those days, and all that I went through at the hands of my dad, I just wish I'd seen some love in him, to be honest with U, I've never seen my dad do any thing for me or to me, to show me that he loves me!! even while he is still alive, I don't see nothing of a kind come from him.

any way, that's a long story... But this is what I've purposed to do, I've made up my mind to pursue the finest of family values I can ever imagine, and to learn from amongst the best men around on how I can make me a better dad when I get the opportunity to become one, and strive so hard to be my kids' best friend and hero.
A lack of true fathers, is one of the reasons as to why Africa is still the way it is. see when we lack men to speak into us and instill in us good family and moral values while we are still young, we are going to grow up as a un-mentored and untutored generation, and if we don't work upon changing this, even the kids that we'll bear will be like us, and generations will go on in this cycle, and we shall find ourselves in the same place even a hundred years away from now!
but if we stand up today, and borrow a leaf from some of the men that have proved them selves to be real fathers with time, and we work hard to at least be like them or even better, this country, and this world, will be miles a head, and better than wut it looks like today!
its my prayer and hope, that we can embrace the challenge.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19: "Therefore shall ye lay up these words in your heart and in your soul . . . And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."

Satan is destroying our children. Young people are going to hell because they do not have Christian parents. Fathers are designated by God as Priests in their homes. They are responsible for bringing their families to God. -[Rod Parsley]

Love

ok, I know im the least qualified to talk about this topic even after having spent a whole week working on it, because how ever much I try,I know I can never be as loving as I'd may be want to be or probably how God would want me to be, but all the same, I try and strive so much to reach the mark.
Sunday morning (first Sunday of August) as I was sited in Church listening to my pastor, Chris preach, I was so touched by the sermon, it was a simple but powerful message, with Love as the theme, I dont remember pastor Chris ever making us turn our Bible pages to read scripture, but he was always citing some once in a while. what made the sermon even greater, is the true life stories that pastor Chris kept sharing about love. see I believe love is never just spoken, but lived, no one can convince me how much they love me when all they do is talk, talk and talk, the best love for me is the practical love, where im not only going to hear what u plan on doin, or what you saying in the name of love, but when im actually seeing you do something in the name of the love you profess, I believe that's the true love that the greatest man that ever lived on earth demonstrated himself -Jesus Christ-
in my walk with Christ I seen my life transformed not by the material things that I've gotten but by the love that has been shown to me, in the same way, I've tried as much as I can to give off of what I've gotten freely as a gift, and tried to bless others with it.
I believe that the biggest problems we face today in our world are due to lack of love, even amongst us Christians that continually profess and confess the Christ we serve to the multitudes, we have acted so much of listeners to the WORD, and less actors in the same respect.
I know very well that we dont have to be able to define love in terms of doctrines and all, in order to live a love life. I myself prolly dont really know wut true love is, I know I've loved some one that was actually committed, and I always told myself that I can now die, cuz I've seen the one person I could of spent the whole of my life with, and they were already committed, beating on my self I always did, cuz I knew I was holding false hope in me, and I ask myself today,as I used to back then, was this feeling of wishing for death that I had, really wut love is?? ur guess is as well as mine, and for my part, I even sometimes think I'll never get the answer to this.
we've heard of so many peeps that have ended their lives cuz the people they "love" have left them, and prolly moved on with some one else...
may be thats what love means to them,

but how about this....he died not just because he was so much loved, or had lost a lover, but only because he thought of the ones that were to come after him, and were to suffer if he didnt offer up his life for them, he was a king, but left the palace and all the honors there in, just so he can come show U and I how much more u mean than even the precious stones of silver and gold that he treads upon on the streets where he lives, ladies and gentle men, I am talking about Jesus Christ, he's the one man on earth that lived a pure and perfect love life ever on earth! and daily I try my best to emulate this kind of love, but im surely far from reaching the mark, never the less, I keep trying. Dont give up either, go out tonight, show some body some love, in any way U can think of, come back tell me how they responded, if they dont love it that u show them love, please give it all back to me, I know how to put the best use to it, cuz I dunno about U, but I surely love to be loved!

"....Col 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity...."

The Vision still stands

In the past two days, I have been working hard to finish a post that I wanted to share with you people that are subscribed to my blog, and are always expectant of getting a writing from yours truly, well I was just about done with that post, and then something hit me. I was walking along the streets today, and having been chilly all afternoon tho, I saw a lot of things and I felt my heart real hurting, I couldn't believe this was part of the fabrics of the capital of this nation, I saw so many things, that I have seen many times in the past but had always ignored, what hurts me most is the disparity between the poor and the rich in this country, and as a matter of fact its not new to many countries on this continent, we see the rich living a very extravagant life, and the gap between them and the poor is really too wide that at some point I wonder if it will ever be filled up, I walked into one of the poorest part of the city (well that's how it looked like to me) and I couldn't help but notice, the way the people that live in these miserable conditions have actually come to terms with the situation that they are in right now, matter of fact when u ask so many of them if they have hope for a better life, or a change of their way of living, they all have almost the same answer "we know things here will change, but not while we are still alive".. now that's wut makes me so angry, its not only those people, a lot many of the people I've come across and asked about the way they think we can make our city and country a better place, they give me the same annoying answer, that things will probably change, but not in our time, now I call that baloney, if U always expect some one else to carry your cross for U, then u surely have no reason to continue living, not untill we the people , wake up and realize that we are where we are cuz of our way of thinking and partly because the people that lived before us, had the same mentality as we have right now, that we were to change the mess they left behind, and we are living in the same conditions now that they left behind, because we havent decided to change our way of thinking!
I was talking to one of the old timers today, and i told him that they, are the people we have to blame for the mess that our country is in right now, when they had the baton in their hands, they never cared about us that were to take over from them, and he gave me a pretty reasonable answer he said: " when we were your age, we were into fighting wars for the liberation of this nation"
true, they were fighting, but I had to respond with an inspired response, I told him, but sir, U never learnt from the wars u fought, cuz instead of working to change, u just kept on congratulating ur selves over the victory and never looked on to tomorrow.
This is what I keep on saying, and I'll not stop saying: we are living in a country where our founding fathers never left a legacy for us to cherish, and right now its incumbent upon us the current generation, to build a legacy that the people that are coming after us will be proud of, and cherish, im not going to rest until I see this coming to pass, cuz I believe this is the purpose that my life has been called for.
I pray that i might get your support so that we can get together to change this nation.
thank you.

Be courageous to face any sort of problem as early as possible. It is like a small flame. If you try, you can stop it easily. If you don’t, it will be bigger day by day and burn everything.

please Join me in prayer

He's a friend, a son and a brother, he is young too. Five year old Jordan was recently diagnosed and found to be with a condition that makes it hard for him to breath freely, he has to under go a surgery on his adenoids and tonsils, just two days from today (Saturday), I feel compelled to call upon all of you faithful friends, to join me in prayer as we stand together with him and his entire family, it may seem to be a simple minor surgery but I know there can never be nothing simple about surgery, the devil might want to attack and do something bad, but we have to stand up in prayer and resist any attacks from the enemy. Jordan is truly a uniquely gifted child, you might find it hard to believe, but at just the age of 5, Jordan is attending an infants Bible school, can read the Bible too, and pray, which was so astonishing a discovery for me, its kids like Jordan, that the devil works so hard to attack, they are proving a treasure to the kingdom, the devil never rests in trying to plot for them, just a few days back, Jordan was also found to be having a condition with his eyes too, and at the age of 5, he is going to have to start putting on glasses so that he can be aided in his sight, now that's the real devil at work, he wants to discourage Jordan from carrying out God's call upon his life, but I know this, none of u guys can allow this to happen.
well im not a parent yet, but I know its just a matter of time and I'll be one myself, and there r some really extra ordinary kids that I've come across in my life, not only Jordan, but I know of a one Kevin that can actually unscrew a computer and check it to find the problem as to why it has stopped to work :O yes, he did that! I talked to his mom and she was all praises for her Kevin, she told me how Kevin is the cutest mechanic she has ever met lol :) and I agree with that,I've talked to Kevin before,and I came to adore him. I ask of us to pray for Kevin,Jordan and other kids that might be the devil's target we want these kids to grow into strong men that will further the kingdom if any one of us cease to be. we want to speak good health upon them, enough with the diseases and all, its now time for God's hand to manifest upon their lives, they deserve a bright and healthy future.
.....like arrows in the hand of a warrior.....
Psalm 127:3-5.

As you struggle to be the best parent you can be, keep one goal in mind; that as your kids get older, they should always know that you love them. We all make mistakes as parents, but it's a lot easier for them to understand and appreciate your efforts (however clumsy) if they know your heart in the right place.

coming to you

when I leave, I'll travel light,
and rise above the panorama of my solitude.
I'll sail to you fast and high,
weightless as the touch of night
when I leave, I'll become a light,
that shows our love in
a clear essential way
(after all, what is a soul but love?)
After all is reconciled, and the darkness pitched away,
I'll travel light,
transported home to you.
In the buoyancy of
peaceful light.

Jeffery Deaver (mistress of Justice)

a dedication to my true love
