Is This Really God's Judgment? Posted: 10 Sep 2017 03:37 AM PDT Things are feeling a little um…apocalyptic lately? Like an opening fanfare we experienced a total eclipse of the sun. As a native Houstonian living in Columbia, South Carolina, now we are writing checks and sending Facebook touches to Harvey-flooded friends back home and lashing down our deck furniture in anticipation of Irma. What are the odds that two of the worst hurricanes in American history would hit back to back? And then there's Jose coming right behind… Friends who were headed to Montana this weekend are buying face masks to navigate the smoke from fires that have burned over 1,000,000 acres this summer. The schools in Olympia, Washington, where my cousins live, have cancelled sporting events this week because of the smoke from nearby fires. Yesterday the largest solar flare in a decade disrupted communications. And while writing this, CNN interrupted their coverage of Irma to report on an 8.1 earthquake off the west of Mexico. Meanwhile, over in North Korea, seismologists suspected an earthquake last weekend which turned out to be a guy barely out of his 20's exploding a hydrogen bomb. As pastor friend Jay Sanders writes, "If you read the Bible, you know what all of this means. "It means that ...some... men will be coming out from under every rock to tell us that Jesus will be coming back on September 23, 2017." Preaching into the social media megaphone, their analyses of blood moons, constellations, and eclipses warn of, "Judgment! Destruction!" But in daily conversations, even if questions of what God might be up to flicker into our minds, many Christians won't mention it. To even raise the question, "Are we experiencing God's judgment? Is it going to get worse?" violates the ban on sin and judgment in polite conversation on the one hand, and aligns us with the con-men who presume to know the dates and players on God's Armageddon timeline on the other. Sensitive to this, my husband Jack has begun a fall sermon series on the Minor Prophets. That may not sound very sensitive. But each week he is simply laying open the messages and visions that God gave his prophets–unpacking what Israel did and how God responded in his own words: "[Israel has played the whore." "[Israel] is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because he was determined to go after filth." We may not talk this way. But God does. He despises bribery, trampling the poor, and indulging in comfort, great houses, sexual immorality, pursuing idols—anything we love more than him. The applications are obvious. He speaks truth about the path to human flourishing. He tells Israel and Judah that no one else can heal their wounds. Healing always begins with "returning." New or renewed intimacy with him. And then as now, for speaking truth he is judged as cruel and intolerant. "They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth" (Amos 5:10). While people cringe over his straight talk about our problem and his radical solution, what gets overlooked is his profound tenderness and compassion. So many want to think exclusively in terms of woundedness and compassion. They want all mercy all the time. God speaks mercifully too. In the midst of prophecies about armies of locusts that will devour every green shoot or soldiers that will "dash their little ones in pieces" he lays open his own heart and speaks longingly and compassionately to his people: From Hosea: Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her. And there I will give her her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope…And I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land, and I will make you lie down in safety. And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the LORD. From Joel:I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten… It is good to ponder whether God is possibly stirring up these calamities in judgment. (Obadiah clearly shows us there are "final straws.") We may never know where the enemy's efforts to kill, steal and destroy end and our Father's efforts to discipline, redeem and restore begin, or if judgment even figures in. As Paul wrote the Romans, "how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out." But we know that even when he brings or allows destruction, this is his heart: We have no idea how much he loves us. The outpouring of sacrificial love in Houston to rescue and tear out and rebuild is an echo of the ultimate expression of sacrificial love: the God that is mightier than the hurricane, the flood or the earthquake became a babe born in a barn, who laid down his life for us. He became sin for us so we could become his righteousness and enjoy him forever. Is this God's judgment? is the wrong question. The power of God's word and these 1, 2, 3, 4 and more calamities jolt us out of complacency and compel us to reflect and ask the right questions: Do I look like the Israel or Judah that grieved God? Do I share any of their indifference…or sin? What am I prepared to do so that "justice rolls down like mighty waters" (Amos, then MLK)? If I seek God's shelter in the storm, do I also welcome his accountability? Am I seeking God, drawing close, or is there some distance there? Hosea's invitation still stands: Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.[written by Lael Arrington] culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
Terrorists Planned To Bomb Abuja, 6 States - DSS Reveals Posted: 10 Sep 2017 03:07 AM PDT The Department of State Services on Saturday revealed how suspected terrorists planned to unleash terror on selected six states and the Federal Capital during the just concluded Eid-Kabir. DSS revealed that the plan was spearheaded by Islamic State of West Africa terrorists whose aim was to cause mayhem and destruction that would have disrupted the Eid-Kabir festivities. It added that the plan was to conduct gun attacks and suicide bombings on selected targets in the Federal Capital Territory, Kano, Kaduna, Niger, Bauchi, Yobe and Borno States. Spokesperson for DSS, Mr. Tony Opuiyo, who made the revelation in a statement, named Husseini Mai-Tangaran, who was described as a well known senior ISWA commander, as the mastermind of the plan. He said, "Mohammed was a fighter of the sect who left the conclave of the group in the Sambisa forest, to join ranks with Ismaila towards carrying out the attacks being planned by the group. "Also, another accomplice in the plot, one Muhammad Ali was arrested on September 3, at Sheka area in Kumbotso area of the state. "Prior to his arrest, Ali was the financial courier of the group in Kano. He was one of the conduits through which funds and other material logistics were channeled to the group from foreign extremist elements/sponsors. "Like Abdulkadir Mohammed, Ali was involved in the plot to perpetrate the planned attacks in Kano and other states in the North during the just concluded Eid-Kabir celebration." culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
I Killed My Baby Boy To Become Rich – Mother Confesses Posted: 10 Sep 2017 02:12 AM PDT A 38-year-old woman, identified as Kwaseve Fagal, arrested by the Nassarawa police command, has blamed poverty for murdering her newborn baby boy for money ritual. The suspect revealed it was a decision she didn't blink to take when a native doctor presented her with an alluring offer to make her rich overnight. Bundle of joy On August 14, 2017, the housewife who had nursed a full-term pregnancy, was delivered of a baby boy in her home at Gakerko village, Keana Local Government area of Nasarawa State, but the joy of her husband, Paul Fagal, aged 40, evaporated shortly after. Though the couple, peasant farmers, earlier had two children in their 14 years of marriage, the arrival of the new baby lifted the drowning soul of his father who had been toiling over the years, albeit with difficulty, to fend for his family. Help from the devil Unknown to Paul, his wife had been suffocating as they laboured for survival in their years of wedlock and was waiting on the devil for help. Acting on the instruction of a herbalist, she discreetly took the infant to a secluded area of the community shortly after birth and killed him. Then, she took his blood in a clay pot and dumped the remains in a nearby stream. But the bubble burst as the sudden disappearance of the baby aroused apprehension in the community, amid suspicion that the mother from hell might have committed sacrilege. After summoning all the women in the community for interrogation, a threat by the village head, Mathew Oloko, to further conduct orthodox and traditional probe into the incident, unveiled Kwaseve as the perpetrator of the dastardly act. Police steps in She eventually led a search party to a stream where the decomposed body of the baby was recovered, but kept sealed lips on the motive for the act till she was arrested and taken away by the police. However, in a chanced encounter with our correspondent at the Criminal Investigation Department of the Nasarawa State police command where she is in custody, she told a shocking tale of the circumstances that led her into killing her child to shake off the shackles of poverty. She had been troubled over her husband's inability to overcome poverty despite the fact that they toiled daily to make ends meet. Rather than reprieve, the situation worsened to a point that putting food on the table became a difficult task. Sometimes, the family stayed for days without food, and despair set in. Her story Faced with gloom, she accepted the devil's alternative when herbalist in the community she identified as Alhaji Abass Loko, gave her hope. Kwaseve was six months pregnant when he offered her help, which she grabbed pleasantly, even though the price was her unborn baby. She narrated; "Life became very difficult for my husband and I, to a point that having food daily became a problem, not to talk of catering for the two children we already had. "The kids were not feeding well; we go hungry for days because we don't have money to buy food. Though we are farmers, things didn't just work well for us. That was why when the baba (Alhaji Loko), who hails from Kaduna State approached me with an offer to lift the burden of abject poverty, I gladly accepted." culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
A Prayer For Recovery If You've Lost Everything Posted: 10 Sep 2017 01:37 AM PDT "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies." – 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 It was 3:30 in the morning, when I received the call that changed everything... "Jennifer, you need to get out of the house. Your neighborhood is flooding," my friend sobbed hysterically. Unsure if I was dreaming, I stumbled from my bed, down the hall, and out my front door. Floodwaters were pouring into my neighborhood, more quickly than I can even describe. Within 20 minutes, we were loaded in the car and fleeing the scene. It took only a matter of hours for the Great Louisiana Flood of 2016 to overtake my home and wash away virtually everything I owned – baby pictures, wedding albums, my children's first letters, everything. There is someone reading this who is there, right now. You have lost everything; you feel you can't go on, you are certain no one sees you. I'm writing this for you, today. I'm writing to tell you some important things for you to know when you lose everything. You haven't lost everything. It may seem like it, today. It may seem like the dark cloud has followed you way too long. Maybe you've lost a great deal in a short period of time. Maybe you've lost your job and your health is failing, and your mom just died. I don't know what your loss looks like today and I wouldn't dare minimize it. Take your time to grieve the loss. Take your time; let time heal the wounds of the loss. But please know: you haven't lost everything. God is with you. As a born again child of the King, your salvation isn't lost. Your future beyond this earth is secure. It doesn't matter how you feel today. It doesn't matter if you can't feel God's presence. Feelings are temporal and fleeting. What is true is that He is with you. Satan would like nothing more than to convince you otherwise. There are thousands of lies that Satan will whisper in your ear. But that's just it. They are lies - lies from the pit of Hell, designed strategically to hold you down, destroy you, steal you your hope, and kill the joy of your future. Do not stand for it. You have been given the authority to stand firm against the lies of the enemy. You have the authority to cast down his plans of attack against you. Know that you are God's beloved. He sees you. He loves you. You are not alone. PRAYER: Lord, I'll just be honest: I feel like everything good has been taken from me. And I feel like You've let it happen. Can I admit that to You? Thank you for being big enough to handle all my fears, angers, and uncertainties. Lord, thank you for this truth: I am afflicted in every way, but not crushed, perplexed but not driven to despair, struck down but not destroyed. Lord, help me, give me Your Spirit, help me know Your goodness even in the midst of this pain. Help me out of this pit, Lord, and onto steady ground. Thank You God for never leaving me. Help me only have hope in You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.[written by Jennifer Maggio] culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
Father Turns Imbecile After Impregnating Daughter Twice Posted: 10 Sep 2017 01:02 AM PDT It was a tragic story that started when, John Oyewo, the 67-year-old resident of Manfile community in Upper Gaa Akanbi, Ilorin South area of Kwara State, formerly married to one Yetunde, separated from her to marry another woman, by name Feyisayo in 1992. Between Yetunde and John, they had a girl, Esther. Then 15, she would go to stay with her dad, and his new wife. Her stepmother, who was a businesswoman, was often away from home. One thing led to another and in the course of the visits, an illicit affair started between father and daughter. How it started She recalled the genesis of the sordid affair. "My father came home one night. I was fast asleep when he woke me up and asked if I had had my bath. I said no. Then he asked me to bathe with him and I joined him innocently. While in the bathroom, he started touching my sensitive parts. Irritated, I Initially resisted him but when I could no longer hold it I became aroused and responded to his touching. We had it right there in the bathroom. Later, it became a constant thing. I was afraid but because I had nowhere to go, I endured it." The incestuous relationship resulted in Esther's first pregnancy. She later gave birth to a child who died shortly after birth under mysterious circumstance. Still the shameful affair continued. The girl got pregnant for her dad the second time, had another child who they christened Oreoluwa. Reward of sacrilege This time around family and relations felt that they had had enough of this nonsense and sent father and daughter packing from their midst by way of communal ex-communication. That was how the duo left the family house to settle in their present abode at Manfile area in Upper Gaa Akanbi. But while there, the second child who was hale and hearty and had started walking about, suddenly took ill and died. As if that was not enough ordeal, the father became afflicted with imbecility and left home never to be seen again, till today. As you read this, only God knows where he is. To compound it all, Esther, now 39, has been afflicted with a strange illness the nature of which she would not want the public to know. But a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) is assisting her, she said. In tears, she said to The Sun: "I thought what I was doing then was right not knowing I have committed a great crime that has ruined my life." Okasanmi Ajayi, Police PRO, said the only time victims usually bring such case to the attention of police is when it goes beyond family crisis. "Otherwise, they prefer settling it in family way." culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

Are You Single? What to do when Singleness lasts longer than you expected Posted: 10 Sep 2017 12:27 AM PDT The Suffering of Singleness Singleness brings its own suffering, a kind of misery many married people simply don't understand anymore. I wonder what the hardest days are for you? Maybe it's been a breakup (or several). Or maybe it's been that nothing's ever gotten that far. There's never been a real boyfriend or girlfriend who might break up with you. Maybe you gave up and started experimenting s*xually — in relationships or online — looking for love, pleasure, and control, and instead finding shame, regret, and slavery. Maybe you've wanted to be a mom or a dad since you were old enough to know what one was. You've dreamed and dreamed about having little boys and girls of your own. You love your friends' kids, but bitterness creeps in sometimes. Maybe you're just longing for friendship or companionship, someone to laugh and cry with. More people probably want to be married because of loneliness than because of sex and children combined. That's my guess anyway. Maybe married people have made a few too many insensitive comments, encouraging you to enjoy "dating Jesus," or reminding you how great it is to wait, or trying to hook you up with their uncle's daughter's friend's sister. Maybe it has nothing to do with dating or marriage for you. Maybe it's your parents' relationship or divorce, or losing someone you loved too soon, or getting diagnosed with a life-threatening or life-altering condition or disease. Like everyone else, every not-yet-married person will experience pain, but pain will be magnified in some ways by singleness. From Where Does Joy Come? The pain of disappointment we feel in the not-yet-married life falls from trees filled with our expectations. Our dreams grow and get more beautiful over years and years in our young imaginations, and then reality reaps a harvest, almost indiscriminately plucking fruit that we want to taste for ourselves. I felt that way, anyway, after years of wanting marriage. We tend to define our life based on our perception of our progress. Am I where I thought I would be at this age? Have I achieved what I thought I would? Are my dreams more or less real today? Our plans and dreams can become idols. Marriage is a good gift and a terrible god. Most of my grief in my teenage years and even into my twenties came from giving more of my heart to my future marriage than to God. It's easy to anchor our hope and happiness in a wife or husband and to define our growth, maturity, and worth by our marital status. And when we worship love, romance, s*x, or marriage — and not God — we welcome the pain and disappointment. If we are married in this life, it will only be for a brief moment, and we won't regret that brevity ten thousand years from now. We really won't. No one will say, "I really wish I was married," much less, "I really wish I had been married for five or ten more years." Those years will seem like seconds compared with all the gloriously, thoroughly happy time we will have after every marriage ends. We need to think about that as we weigh the intensity of our desperation to have it now. We need to ask if we have made marriage a qualification for a happy and meaningful life. Am I undone and miserable by the prospect of never being married? Do I think of myself as incomplete or insignificant as an unmarried believer? These questions might reveal red flags that warn us marriage has become an idol. Ultimately, we will all be single forever, and it will be gloriously good. Marriage truly is a small and short thing compared with all we have in Christ forever. And I'm writing that as someone who spent more than a decade longing for the temporary this-life experience. God's Better Story Is the life you're currently living the one you always wanted for yourself? Did you think you'd be married by now? What about your job — not what you hoped for? Do you feel like your gifts are being wasted? Do you dream about doing something different with your life? Maybe you wish you were living somewhere else. You long to be closer to home (or farther away). The reality is that all of us can imagine something better for ourselves than our circumstances today. The greater reality is that if you love and follow Jesus, God always writes a better story for you than you would write for yourself. The "better" is based on this: God himself is the best, most satisfying thing you could ever have or experience, and, therefore, fullness of life is ultimately found not in any earthly success, relationship, or accomplishment but in your proximity to God through faith. The dark side of this good news is that you may have to walk through pain, disappointment, rejection, and suffering for seven or eight (or seventy or eighty) years. The brighter (and prevailing) side says God never makes a mistake in choosing good for you. Everything you experience — expected or unexpected, wanted or unwanted, pleasing or painful — is God's good plan to make you his own (John 10:27–29), to give you himself forever (Ps. 16:11), and to use your life to reveal himself and his glory to the world around you (Isa. 43:25; 1 Cor. 10:31).

Posted: 10 Sep 2017 12:10 AM PDT The family of Onyinye Eze, an employee of Globacom Nigeria Limited, allegedly murdered by her Australia returnee 'husband', Mr. Stephen Akpata, have described the suspect as a liar and swindler. On August 16, 2017, Akpata, according to police records, an indigene of Delta State and popularly called Bishop because he reportedly administered a church, allegedly murdered his 33-year-old 'wife.' Police said the suspect, who had reportedly confessed to the crime, also confessed to serving various jail terms in Australia and was also involved as a witness or suspect in a certain murder case. The police suspected that Akpata jumped bail and returned to Nigeria. The suspect, said to have spent over 27 years in Australia, allegedly strangled his new wife with the cords of a pressing iron before stabbing her to death with a knife. Akpata, the prime suspect in the murder, was later arrested by the police in Badagry, Lagos State, about two weeks after the discovery. The elder brother and guardian of the deceased, Alex Eze, a Master Warrant Officer of the Nigerian Air Force, described Akpata as a 'pathological liar, swindler and unrepentant criminal.' Eze, who described Oyinye as the last child of their parents, claimed that the information Akpata supplied to the police about himself was untrue. The distraught Eze said, "First, let me correct the impression that Akpata is 40 years old. I read some reports that the suspect is 40 years old. That is a lie. The man is in his in early 60s. … 'he didn't show up for the traditional wedding' Reports claimed that he was married to my sister, it is not true. They only met in June 2017. So, how could he marry our sister in June? What has he done concerning the marriage to make him our sister's husband?We learnt that they had a registry marriage about a month or two ago.They did not do any court marriage. I do not know what he wants to achieve with such lies. But there are photographs of both of them on the Internet holding a court certificate. What is your response to that? She was not married to him. The pictures might have been taken in the house and posted on the Internet to deceive people that they were married. Even the shorts he wore in one of the pictures he took with my sister was the shorts we saw inside his house stained with blood, that is with the police. I am not aware they did any court marriage. Did the man meet your family? He only met me as the elder brother and guardian of the lady and asked me to give him a date. I gave him August 12, 2017 to do the first introduction to the family. He did not know my mother and my mother did not know him. How could he claim he was married to my sister? He claimed he was married to my sister and that he killed her because of infidelity. Did he pay any bride price to claim that he was married to my sister? Is that how to marry a person? We are pure Igbo and he did not do any marriage rites. Was he married before to any other woman? He was married. He told me that his son was the manager of his companies based overseas. He equally claimed he had over 2,000 staff members working for him over there. That is to tell you the extent of his lies; I never knew it was a swindler I was dealing with. He told me then that he wanted the marriage ceremony to be done within three months and that by the end of September, he would like to take my sister with him to Australia. He was even asking my sister to resign from her work at Glo. When he sought your consent to marry your sister, what did you do? I did not object, knowing full well that my sister was a grown adult. I told him I would seek Onyinye's consent and would not like to be a hindrance to their marriage. I gave him go-ahead with the marriage preparations. I went to the village and told my kinsmen and they gave me a date. To prove to me that he was truly with my sister, he enquired from me if I wanted to speak with her. I said yes, and I spoke with her. She confirmed that she was there with him and that they had agreed that they would go to Port Harcourt the following day as I advised them. I then advised him to remove his SIM card from his phone so that the kidnappers would not be able to track him with the line. He said all right. On August 16, their lines were available in the morning. Two hours later, I called again, the two lines — his own and my sister's own were switched off. The development made me curious. I started calling all my sister's friends. I became worried. Later, I was told that there was one of our town persons working with my sister in Glo office in Yenagoa. I called the man (Glo employee) and he told me my sister's line was off. Akpata killed my sister that early morning of Wednesday, August 16. After killing her, he quietly went to the bathroom, cleaned up himself, changed his clothes and vamoosed from the house. When I called the Glo employee, he said he had sent somebody to my sister's house but that the person met the door open and the burglary proof was locked from outside but the television was on loudly. Prior to her death, did your sister receive any kind of threat from Akpata's family members either in Nigeria or abroad? Yes. At a point, the daughter working at NDU sent a threat message to my sister, which she showed me on the day she left for Yenagoa. She had received the threat message earlier but hid it from us. But on that day she was leaving for Yenagoa, she told me. She said, "Brother, see the letter I received from Stephen's daughter threatening me to stay away from her father.'' Why was Akpata's daughter threatening your sister? From what I deduced from the threat message, Akpata's daughter was against my sister's relationship with her father. She swore that her father would not marry my sister and that her mother was still there.What about Akpata's wife? We learnt that the wife was married to another man. The man (Akpata) had claimed earlier that he got his daughter out of wedlock and that he had other children overseas. He said he could no longer stay alone, claiming that the last time he had a woman in his life was in June 2012. How would you describe your late sister? She was the last child of my parents. She studied Philosophy at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She was 33 years. I brought her up from the beginning to the end. She stayed with me in Ikeja, Lagos. She did her National Youth Service Corps at Nigeria Emergency Management Agency. What attributes would you miss about Onyinye? She was a brilliant, intelligent, easy-going, quiet, kind-hearted and jovial person. Are you satisfied with the police investigation? We will pursue the matter judicially till justice is served. Her death cannot be in vain. So far, we are satisfied with what the police are doing. I also believe that since the matter has come to public consciousness, the relevant authorities will do the needful to ensure that justice is served. culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |

Posted: 09 Sep 2017 11:40 PM PDT Hurricane Irma hit southern Florida on Saturday afternoon as emergency officials told those who have so far ignored evacuation orders: 'You're on your own'. This comes a dash cam video emerged of a man being knocked down by a huge wave as he attempted to film it. The video was recorded at Southernmost Point in the Florida Keys. So far,6.3million people have been told to evacuate in anticipation of Irma and there are 70,000 people in evacuation shelters across Florida. The state said Saturday that more than 400 shelters are open, mostly in schools, churches and community centers. The storm is set to move up the southwest coast, hitting Tampa on Monday.

Facing Spiritual Attacks? How To Win Spiritual Battles Posted: 09 Sep 2017 11:27 PM PDT I did not want to face the reality that the enemy had infiltrated my home and was after the hearts and minds of my children. I didn't have the energy to fight a spiritual battle. I didn't know how to equip and empower my kids to stand. I believed that if I lived according to the Word, kept my kids in church, and lived out biblical principles in the home, then all would be well… until it wasn't. There is a real enemy who is "prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8). Unfortunately, he is seeking to devour a whole generation… our sons and daughters! God has not left us without hope... He gives us instruction on how to stand and train our children to stand against an unseen enemy. Our battle is not against flesh and blood and we have to learn how to fight a spiritual battle so we can equip our kids to do the same. Our children are created to WIN at spiritual warfare, and as parents and educators we can "train up our children in the way they should go" (Proverbs 22:6). Paul gives us step by step instruction in Ephesians 6 that can lead us and our children into victory over "rulers, authorities and the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil" (Ephesians 6:12). We are given the following instructions for victory: 1. Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. We must display to our children what it means to be "strong in the Lord." Ultimately it means we lean on Him and not our own understanding. Strength in God often looks like weakness to man. To equip and empower our children to find their strength in God, we must be willing to become dependant on Him. 2. Put on the full armor of God, so you can take your stand against the devil's schemes... Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. We must note that Paul tells us two times (it's worth repeating) to put on the full armor. We are told empathetically that the day of evil will come. We can't bury our head in the sand and hope if we lead a good life, give our children opportunities in life, go to church, etc., that the day of evil will pass us by. We are told time and time again by Paul that we are to stand; there is no "tapping out" or sitting on the sidelines in this battle. We are engaged in a battle and our children are there with us. So we must learn how to stand in dependence on Christ in our full armor. 3. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist... In biblical times, the belt served as a sort of anchor, securing a soldier's armor in place. To prepare our children for battle, they must be secure in truth. The truth of God's love and affection, the truth of who He is, and the truth of who they are in Christ. As parents it is our responsibility to speak truth, read truth, gird them up in truth so that they can stand secure. 4. With the breastplate of righteousness in place... The breastplate was worn on the front, to protect a soldier's vital organs as he faced his enemy. Our children are continually confronted with a culture that is violently opposed to biblical principles. Bullies, broken families, detachment from friends, and more, are shredding the hearts of our children. To protect these tender internal organs, we must help our children understand where their righteousness comes from. We must help them be secure in God's tender mercy and His decree over their lives as "Beloved." 5. Your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Without proper footwear, soldiers would be lost. Good sandals enabled the soldier to walk across any type of terrain without fear. Oftentimes the sandals would have iron nails protruding underneath for greater traction and to help them "dig their heals in" and not be pushed back. Peace is a powerful weapon. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and He came to bring a peace that looks different from how the world defines peace. His peace enables us to climb the mountains and run in the valleys. Introducing our children to the Prince of Peace is another vital element in developing their spiritual warfare muscles. 6. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. The shield mentioned in this passage refers to a small hand-held shield used in combat. We are commissioned by the Captain of the Lord of Hosts to take up our shield, to exercise our faith and give our children opportunities to grow their own faith. Our faith is not faith unless it is being practiced, lived out and used. God gives us opportunities daily to take up that shield and deflect the enemy's darts. As parents, we can give our children opportunities to grow their faith. We can encourage them to turn to the Father for the things they desire; we can walk hand in hand with them into the throne of grace and ask with them and allow the Good Father to lead them. 7. Take the helmet of salvation... The enemy often starts his attack in the mind. I have found that many children are tormented by lies of low self-worth. The only protective covering we can offer to our children is to introduce them to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Our children do not have to live under the torrential onslaught of condemnation. We can help them stand by leading them to Jesus. 8. The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. A warrior would quickly fall to the enemy if he didn't have a weapon. It's not enough just to have armor. Our children will (and are) quickly falling to the enemy. Perhaps we could learn from the great Teacher Himself: Jesus yielded this sword when the enemy confronted him in the desert. We have access to the same weapon Jesus did and we can train our children to yield this powerful doubled edged sword. It is their only line of defense. 9. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. We must equip our children to know the voice of the Father. He is the Good Shepherd, the Strong Tower, and so much more. Prayer is listening as well as sharing, it's a two-way conversation and in order for our children to stand against the schemes of the enemy, they must know the voice of the One who sees all and knows all and depend on His voice to lead them. We are not left without hope, but developing strong spiritual muscles in our children takes time. It takes a willingness on the part of the parents to lead the way and develop their own spiritual muscles. We can turn the tide of our sons and daughters being swept away in a sea of confusion and chaos; we can teach them and lead them to "stand firm." We have been given the instruction manual to help our children win in spiritual warfare. [written by Misty Honnold] culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

5 Surprising Tips For Staying Fit & Healthy Posted: 09 Sep 2017 10:57 PM PDT Staying fit is really not as hard as people think; besides, if you think of the effort you put into shedding excess fat and compare it with the effort you put into staying fit, you'll realize that staying fit is a much better option. Jumia Travel shares 5 surprising tips for staying fit. 1. To Burn Fat, Don't Just Sweat The best indicator of fat burn is either heart rate or RPE (that is, the rating of perceived exertion). Simply sweating without increased heart rate or rating of perceived exertion is unlikely to do much to help you stay fit, because sweating signals more to a rising body temperature than increased fat burn. So, try as much as you can to get your heart pumping through walks, outings, exercises and activities that make you exert yourself, rather than just lounging in the same spot all day. 2. Focus More on Quality Than Quantity It might be surprising for some to realize that with exercise, it's quality that matters more than quantity, and they might be more surprised to realize how little exercise they need to stay fit. This is why it is best to give realistic time limits to your exercise sets, so you can use that time limit to focus on increasing the intensity of your exercise. This way, you can improve the quality of your exercise routines and keep fit. 3. Avoid Dieting At this point, you have to ask yourself, how many people you've seen in great shape that are constantly trying out every new fad diet? The answer is probably none. This is because fit people don't diet, they simply make healthy eating a part of their lifestyle. This is because the key to staying fit is embracing healthy eating as a lifestyle, learning to listen to your body and engaging in activities that help you exert yourself rather than being immobile. 4. You Don't Have To Eat Perfectly All The Time Because you eat a chocolate bar, ice cream or cookie every once in a while doesn't mean you have abandoned your healthy eating lifestyle. Eating healthily doesn't mean you should deprive yourself of your favorite treats, it just means you should consume them in moderation. Don't overdo it. As long as you remain active and don't overdo it when eating your favorite treats, staying fit will not be a problem for you. 5. Stay Active Outside The Gym Yes, staying active doesn't just involve going to the gym, you have to learn to incorporate activity into your lifestyle; it's really not that hard. Try to walk whenever and wherever possible, involve yourself in weekend activities that get you moving (not every single weekend of course because you still need to rest, but as often as you can), take the stairs as often as you can, make your vacations active by going sight-seeing, swimming, hiking etc., and basically just get up and move as much as you can (don't sit around all day). culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

Obama leaves high school students speechless when he crashes their lesson | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 09 Sep 2017 03:10 PM PDT A group of high school students were left completely speechless after Obama crashed their classroom on the first day back at school. McKinley Tech students, in Washington DC, were still settling into their new classes on Friday when in walked former POTUS Barack Obama. You guys don't mind me crashing right?' he asked, as his audience struggled to maintain composure. The former president then joined their circle and started tell them why it was important for him to meet people their age during his time in office. Just to kind of hear from them, find out what they're interested in, because I do believe that most of the problems we have are going to be solved by you.' Obama later posted videos of his day out on Instagram and wrote: 'Make us proud. You're the next generation of leaders, and we need you. culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
