Dangers of Assumption in parenting

 Dangers of Assumption in parenting  Luke 2:43-44,46 [43]And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. [44]But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. [46]And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.        The parents of Jesus assumed he was with them and they journeyed for three days before they discovered he was not with them.

BUILD A QUALITY TEAM

Image
 BUILD A QUALITY TEAM                  No man is an island. Success is not a feat you attain all alone. You need people to arrive at your destined goal. Not just any people but the right set of people. The set of people a leader surround himself with are called team. The team members include council members, advisers and counselors The quality of the team a leader surround himself with will determine his success. Leaders that do not build up a team around them get worn out easily. It is another thing to have a team and it is another thing to trust your team by delegating duties to them. Assigning duties to them give them a sense of responsibility. Believe in them and gives them authority to do the work and make them accountable not only to you but to the whole team. Moses was doing it all alone, he could have died before his time until Jethro advised him that he would worn out if he continued to judge the people all alone by himself. He chose a team and delegate duties to them. Jesus

Have mercy on marriage

  Have mercy on marriage ( E saanu Igbeyawo)            In one of the preaching classes at the Seminary, a student asked: Can I preach a sermon titled “ E saanu Igbeyawo” ( Have mercy on marriage). There were   outbursts of laughter in the class to the extent that the lecturer could not even know what to say at that moment. The pastor was nicknamed esanu Igbeyawo until a day he was so vexed and told us that if we had known who preached the message we would not have mocked him. And we asked, Behold he was a respectable minister of God.   This did not make sense to some of us but we stopped calling him   esaanu Igbeyawo.               Marriage is an ordinance. It was a commandment from God, it is holy , a rite , a form of worship. In church, it is called Holy matrimony and solemnization. This connotes that marriage is a form of covenant, holy and ordained by God. There are many ordinances in the scripture but marriage stood out and it deserves to be honored.   The writer of Hebrews
