True Prosperity

The faith-for-prosperity message has been one of the revolutions that ever happened to the Christian faith. Before now, clergy men used to be paupers and ill-treated, to the extent that people considered it suicidal to want to be a pastor.

Obviously, the reverse is the case now. One of the most attractive professions today is the pastoral 'profession'. And the 'packaging' is now even so tight that many of us now live a triangular life of church-work-home. With home being the place to get some sleep so we can kick off the cycle the following day.

A recent research shows that parents spend less than 38 minutes in a week in giving their children undivided attention. We are so preoccupied with activities that we forget the main thing - the family.

Children are a gift from God; they His reward (Ps 127:3). How are you handling your own gifts? Are you paying some teachers so heavily to help you fulfill your responsibilities, and later complain about some negative traits your chidren are displaying? Do you know what exactly your children and spouse are going through? Are you your children's best friend and confidant?

True prosperity, I think, is living a balanced life; not loving 'church' and work to the detriment of the family. The bible says: "Wisdom builds her house." (Prov 9:1)

Build A Fortress

Every individual and institution experiences attacks at one point or the other. This may make some tear apart, while it will help some to be even stronger. Some attacks are internal; while some are external. But however it comes, the aim is always to destroy.

One institution that has suffered the most over the centuries is the family institution. It's amazing to see two people who are crazy about themselves, and think of each other the most of the day, only to find themselves 'incompatible'. And then they file for divorce due to 'irreconciliable differences'. Truth be told, these differences have always been there, but covered up by the thick shadows of love. When love is lifted, this shadow also disappears. The bible says: "Love covers all sins. (Prov 10:12).

Do all you can to make this love tower ever erect in your family. Pray with your spouse and children. Take them out. Be courteous in your communications; consider the pains and aspirations of others in your decisions. Don't do anything you've not agreed to do - be interdependent and not independent. Don't play boss over your spouse because you're at an advantage. Say I LOVE YOU often.

Build a fortress of love over your family.

I believe in you!
