A Child: privilege and stewardship

Hi friends,
I thought it good to share this about the children that we are surrounded by.  Sometimes they are planned and other times they are not. Sometimes they are ours and other times they are not ours. However they come, the point is that you probably need to realise that there is a child orchestrated to  be around you and you need to realise that there is a demand on you.
Anyone with a child (biological or by circumstance) around them needs to assume a position of privilege and stewardship.
It's a privilege to have a child to love and cherish. It's a privilege to have such opportunity to be part of a child growing to evolve into a fine responsible godly adult. Great privilege. Not all healthy, wealthy, sane people have such. Every Child around you is an inheritance and a reward from God.
It's a responsibility for stwardship to manage such beautiful inheritance of children around you. You must manage & protect with intention and purpose to make better. God isn't expecting that you will Bury these talents but that they are multiplied (qualitatively).
Being a steward of God's gift of a child should be done with intention,  understanding and submission to the master as it is certain that every steward will surely give an account to the Lord how you managed that child He brought your way (either as your birth child, niece or nephew, house help, your student, neighbourhood children etc). Will the Lord's comment be "well done good and faithful servant" or "depart from me you wicked and lazy servant"?
Commit to this noble course for a life time to gracefully embrace children around you and faithfully improve them.
The best quality to add to a child is a training in the way of the Lord.. get involved.

A good coach will never train from a distance..you have to actively and passively teach them..you must be part of it.

A good coach is intentional and deliberate.. you must know and plan to teach them and not leave lessons to chance.

A good coach knows he must get results.. you persevere patiently till they get it right.

You will give an account. 

Before the Nigeria 2015 Election

Hello people.
The year 2015 has brought with it tension, debate and varied opinions. All these result from candidates, parties, different moves, statements, positions, "comedies" and dramas. Everything sends a wave in the air that is rippled and sends shivers to the heart of the people. Something we are good at and eventually stay on as our response is that God will work things out. A position that assumes that God signed a pact with Nigeria to protect it From wrong happenings or as though God will send Nigeria a Messiah to blow away all her problems.
As we go to the polls in a couple of days, I feel compelled to highlight some points that should be relevant to challenge, encourage and prepare us through the elections period to the outcomes and swearing-in periods.

we should understand the following things about God in all of these situation.

God does not have a personal covenant with Nigeria. It must sink into our mental consciousness that God's covenant with Israel does not extend to Nigeria as a Nation. God chose and led Israel personally. He also had a covenant with them on mountain Sinai where He gave them the Law that will guide their living as a people. He allowed them chose leader(s) and He chose or raised leaders for them. He Disciplined, encouraged, defended, supplied their needs etc He did all these because there was a personal covenant with the people of Israel. Nigeria and no other nation has such a relationship with God. The only way God will influence the nation - Nigeria is when the people of God (the church of Christ) allow the kingdom of God permeate in the society and set standards that will make the nation stand out to achieve great things.

God has a knowledge of our system of Governance - Democracy. God is very aware of the system that governs us at this time and in the life of our Nation. His sovereignty allows us as a people to embrace Democracy at this time. He is aware and has allowed the current leadership in various sectors and agencies, governors and the president. It implies that we should appreciate the opportunity to elect the kind of leadership we want as against the times that leadership is forced through a military coup.


God can use the evil or the righteous to achieve His purpose. It is within His sovereignty to use anybody to achieve His plan and answer the prayers of the righteous. He can use a Christian or Muslim to bring His counsel to pass. He raised two individuals against Solomon when he turned against God. He used Pharaoh to fulfil Joseph's dream and save the people of Israel from a season of drought. He used a donkey to correct a prophet. The Pharises, Saduces and the high priest("the most righteous people") were instrumental to the condemnation of  Jesus to the Cross. God can use anyone or thing to uphold and bring to pass the counsel of His will.

God wants you to submit to authority. Anyone in authority is ordained by God and should be submitted to for the authority given them by God to enforce righteousness / righteous judgement on earth. This authority flows from the king (president/governor) down to those who enforce things (soldiers, police, LASTMA, judiciary, FRSC etc). We are to submit like we are dealing with God. When they get out of line we should firmly put them back in order without dishonouring the authority they represent. If we will emphasise righteous living then our obedience must be complete.

It is appropriate to stop here and hope you allow all these influence your attitude and conduct through the election process. I wish the Nation a happy, free and fair election in March and April 2015.

Do drop your comments and opinion.

Thank you.

A moment, not enough.

Hello friends.
I sincerely hope and believe you are doing great and that you have started the year on a solid note.
I should apologise For my break from writing in this blog for over a year now. It was due to many happenings in my life.
I AM SINCERELY SORRY. I will do my best to keep up with dropping a word as often as possible.

A moment is Not enough to make an impact in some situations in our lives so we must learn to make the best of every moment. I remember the last phone conversation with my mum before her demise. She called me to find out whether I was coming to see her that day and wanted to greet my Son whose birthday was the day before. I let her know I wasn't Feeling well and promised to call once my son was back From school. I did not call back. My mum died two days after through a gruesome car accident. If I knew her time was up here on earth I would have not only called but would have dragged myself to go see her with my soN.
I recently observed an elderly woman pick her steps while walking on the road. It became very obvious when a car approached her that no matter how much of will power she may have, her limbs refuse her the opportunity to move Fast enough to keep pace with a regular youth. I imagine that she would relish a moment to have the kind of energy she might have had five or ten years before now. I think she will do quite a number of things quickly and differently.
The opportunity of a moment may disappear before our eyes like a vapour within days, hours, minutes or seconds. It could also be the reverse where the moments fade away over a long period of many years and you just realize suddenly. In which ever case it's important to learn to make the best of every moment, opportunity or privilege especially with people.  
 I saw a movie where a blind lady's husband died and she screamed, Cursed and Cried that he was her life, her sight, her everything. I had to wonder and ask whether she let him realise this before he died or she picked on the little things he didn't do right.
In the same way a lot of us use precious moment to focus on things that could be addressed lightly and later ahead of better thoughts as "I love you", "I appreciate you", "enjoy your Day" or "welcome home" etc.
My word to you this season is to learn and master the act and art of making every moment count in the life of people around you.  As a believer in Jesus Christ you have been enabled by God with the Holy Spirit to help you live beyond the normal human limits. You can make every moment a special one.

ENJOY  your moments. Would love to read your comments as I commit to bring words suitable for Total Living.

Thank you.
