CHILDREN BELONG TO GOD
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: And the fruit of the womb is his reward. - (Psalm 127:3)
READ: Judges 13:6-14
Many years ago, when my children were still little, one of them fell terribly ill. We had already made Jesus our Great Physician, so whenever anyone fell sick in our family, we would simply pray, and God would heal the fellow. In this instance, however, I prayed to God, worshipped Him, and did everything I knew to do for the boy's health to be restored, but he did not get better. In my frustration, I asked, "Lord, why have You refused to heal my son?" and God responded, "He is your son; why don't you heal him yourself?" I immediately realised my mistake and said, "I'm sorry, Lord, he is Your son; please heal Your son." Within an hour, the boy was back on his feet, playing around.
Parents do not own their children; they are only caretakers. Children are gifts from God, so the owner of children is God Himself (Psalm 127:3); therefore, they are to be taken care of according to His will. Parents who fail to realise that their children belong to God will tend to raise them contrary to His plan. When an angel appeared to Manoah and his wife to tell them that they would give birth to a son, Manoah asked a crucial question that every parent should ask about the children God gives them:
...How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? - (Judges 13:12)
Manoah understood that the child they were about to give birth to was from God and belonged to Him. He knew that he was limited as a person in knowing the best way to teach and nurture the child. After asking the crucial question above, the angel gave him and his wife specific instructions on what to avoid during her pregnancy, and how to raise the child after birth.
Parents should not lean on their understanding when raising children. They should not try to raise the children God has committed into their care the way others are doing it, because He has customised instructions for raising every child. If you are a parent, ask God to show you how He wants you to raise His child(ren) in your custody. Furthermore, don't be tempted to own the child(ren) God has put in your care. Always involve Him in your decisions concerning His child(ren), and He will help you to raise them to fulfil His purpose for their lives, in Jesus' name.
KEY POINT:
Parents must let God guide them in how to raise the children He has entrusted to their care.

ALWAYS THANK GOD
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: - (Psalm 92:1)
READ: Matthew 15:30-38 (KJV)
Years ago, a very wealthy man came to see me and said that he was having trouble sleeping. He also said he was told that if I prayed for him, the problem would be solved. He added that he would give me 14 houses if I prayed for him, and the problem was solved. Of course, he didn't need to offer me his houses for me to pray for him, but his desperation to be able to sleep made him say so. Being able to sleep is one of the many divine blessings that are often taken for granted until one can no longer sleep or sees people who can't.
Beloved, you have a lot to thank God for, and living a life of thanksgiving makes you quick to recognise God's goodness in your life. Even amid challenges, when you are thankful, you will find many reasons to praise God. You will be quick to acknowledge that God is the reason things are not worse. You will also be confident that God is working things out in your favour (Romans 8:28).
When people thank God, He opens the windows of heaven to pour out His blessings upon them. In today's Bible reading, there were 4,000 hungry men, besides women and children, with Jesus and His disciples. Jesus had compassion on them and wanted to feed them; so, He asked His disciples to tell Him how much food they had. They replied that they had only seven loaves of bread and a few fishes. Despite the obvious inadequacy of the food to feed thousands of people, Jesus gave thanks, broke the bread, and handed them to His disciples to share among the multitude. His first response to the scarcity of resources was to give thanks. Jesus' heart of gratitude opened the windows of heaven for multiplication, and suddenly, the food that was too little to feed the multitude multiplied so much that everyone was filled, and they were left with seven baskets of leftovers.
Beloved, are you facing any difficult situation? Are you in dire need of resources, help, or a change in the circumstances surrounding your life? Do not despair or complain; rather, give God thanks. Despair or complaints will not multiply the little you have; however, thanksgiving will give you access to the miraculous. I pray that the Lord will open your eyes to see His grace at work in every facet of your life and help you to cultivate a heart of genuine gratitude, in Jesus' name.
KEY POINT:
Giving thanks to God releases the miraculous.

I survived the labour room
JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE OLDER, DOESN’T MEAN YOU DESERVE RESPECT. RESPECT IS EARNED NOT GIVEN.
Calling me broke or wishing I was broke has been your wish. These are the exact same words you told the EFCC officials. And you ended up getting locked up in prison. Of course, you have to come up with another narrative. You were shouldering who? Agbaya, you were employed as a manager by Peter and Paul and you got sacked the same as the other 2 managers before you. Period!
I understand this may not sit well with some people, but truth be told, aside from my businesses, what I now earn on my own as a solo artiste today is more than what I used to earn after splitting three ways as PSQUARE plus the so-called manager. I am talking about both shows and endorsements. It really makes me question what’s the point of sharing with people who stole from you, betrayed you, and still discriminate against your efforts!?
This solo journey has been a blessing—more rewarding and profitable, both financially and personally, no doubt 💯. And it has also brought me peace of mind. And if you don’t relate or it doesn’t make sense to you, no worries—it’s not meant to. But I am grateful. But again, despite we are in court! Una never still answer the question, UNA THIEF ABI UNA NO THIEF ?⚖️ ⚖️ Ndi ori.
I have stopped playing nice and being the matured one while getting disrespected!
I started treating people exactly how they treat me.
Respect me, I respect you!
Ignore me, I ignore you!
Cross me, I cut you off, simple.
Life isn't about begging people for fair treatment!
It's about matching energy;
it is what it is. Tit for tat!
I stayed real, I stayed strong, and I stopped letting people walk over me. PETER OKOYE.

In my own experience, Igbo people are welcoming when you say you’re from somewhere else, the minute you say you’re Igbo and can’t speak the language, the love they previously had for you changes to insults and i wonder why cos I’m literally the same person! Learn love & unity!
