BRING UP YOUR CHILDREN WELL
Our children face different challenges today. The environment is very hostile for their upbringing. The access they have to the internet and media get them corrupted very easily. It is very difficult to check them. They can stay late watching movies. They can hook into the net in their rooms, toilets, hostels e.t.c. “Facebook” have “de-faced” many and changed their identities very badly. Blackberry gives them access to several people and they spend several hours “pinging." The bad influence of their pair groups and the vices they regularly see in the elders around them keep them tilted negatively.
The big question is: can these ills be corrected? Or can this generation get to live right for God, get their priorities right and put their priorities right? The answer, to these as far as I am concerned, is yes. The reason for the deviation is because they lost their link with God. The solution to the problems of the children of this generation is for them to get back to God. These children are our tomorrow’s spiritual leaders (Archbishops, Bishops, General Overseers, Pastors, Apostles, Prophets, Presidents and Founders of Churches e.t.c.), they are our future political leaders (Presidents, Senators, Governors, Local Government Chairmen, e.t.c.), they are our future traditional rulers (Obas, Igwes, Emirs, e.t.c.), they are our future Scientists, Professors, Business Tycoons, Heads of the Armed Forces, Judges, Lawyers e.t.c.
