Set boundaries that matter

Thu, 15 Jan 2026

“Parents, don’t be hard on your children. Raise them properly. Teach them and instruct them about the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4

Opposites often attract, marry, and then have to deal with their differences—especially when their children become teens and they run up against boundary issues. Boundary disputes test the parents’ capacity to negotiate differences in deciding what’s right or wrong for their child. You let her do whatever she wants…You’re driving him away with your strictness…She needs more discipline…He needs space to be a kid.

Both parents love their children and want only the best for them, but they disagree on how to accomplish it. In his book Boundaries with Teens, Dr. John Townsend gives some helpful and practical suggestions. (1) Agree that your teen comes first. Calmly, honestly, and selflessly discuss your differences together. The winner should always be your child! Agree, even compromise, on setting limits that protect your teen and promote his or her best interests. (2) Defer to one another’s strengths. Each of you has areas you’re better equipped to handle. For example, whichever one is better at organising, listening objectively in heated moments, or calming a troubled teen should help the other one with these issues. (3) Don’t triangulate your teen. It’s easy to pull your child into conflict on your side. Typically the other parent then responds by pampering the child with gifts, privileges, and liberties in order to regain their approval. That strategy guarantees everybody loses! Agree to sort out your differences. And if you can’t, seek the help of a wise friend, pastor, or counsellor. Your child’s life and future are what matter—not which one of you wins the popularity contest!

Unselfishness; the secret of a happy marriage

Wed, 14 Jan 2026

“Love is patient and kind…Love…is not selfish.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

Let’s begin with three short stories that spell out the challenge of building a strong and happy marriage.

First story: A man was observing a couple and said to his wife, “Look at them, they look so happy.” She said, “Don’t be so sure, they’re probably saying the same thing about us.” Second story: “A woman once said, “My husband and I have a very happy marriage. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me. So we’ve gone through life doing nothing for each other.” Third story: A husband told his friend, “My wife and I have decided never to go to bed angry.” His friend asked, “How’s that working?” He replied, “We haven’t slept in a month.” Seriously, the biggest challenge in marriage is selfishness. When two people each put their own desires and interests first, their relationship is headed for trouble and possibly a divorce court. What’s the answer? These inspired words were written almost two thousand years ago, but they are still God’s formula for a stable and successful marriage: “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices over the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures. Love never ends…So these three things continue forever: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love” (vv. 4-8, 13 NCV).

A lot of single mothers are better off than some of the legally married wives at home. How do you decide a case of a woman (wife) in the house that has 3 kids for her husband. And after the DNA.....it was proven that those kids were fathered by 3 different men outside. None of them belong to her legally married husband. Any women that is good is good. But majority of them are just ADANWO!!!

Imagine? Thank God the man wasn't from Nigeria. They would have been shouting our names.

How will it be good if they just waste this 109 now instantly, and let it be a good sample to other bandits 😓

It is well. The only thing I can say is that "the Lord will comfort you".

This life self..... Ebenezer Obey:- Do your best & leave the rest.

What will we do in heaven?

Tue, 13 Jan 2026

“I will make you ruler over many things.” Matthew 25:21

If you are a purpose-driven person, the thought of spending eternity doing little, or nothing will have no appeal to you. But that’s not the case. When we get to heaven, God is not going to say, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you can take the rest of eternity off.” No, He will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things” (Matthew 25:21 NKJV).

There will be “many things” for us to do. We already know that we will be ruling with Christ over this restored earth during His millennial reign (See Revelation 20:6). And Revelation 22:3 says, “His servants shall serve Him.” God will not only have a place for each of us, but a plan. The reason heaven will not be boring is because God is not boring! The psalmist said, “In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm 16:11 KJV). Since we will be in God’s presence, everything we do will bring joy and satisfaction. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God has placed eternity in our hearts. That means that God has created within us a space that cannot be satisfied with anything but heaven. We can never comprehend all that God has prepared for us in our heavenly home. And we can’t recreate heaven on earth. But when we opt to prepare for our eternal home that is waiting for us, our earthly focus shifts toward living a life that pleases and honours God and brings others to Him.

The healing ministry of Jesus

Mon, 12 Jan 2026

“Jesus Christ…the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

Jesus, who was known in the Bible as “the Great Physician,” spent much of His ministry healing the sick. Read these four Scriptures:

(1) “Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching… preaching the gospel… and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments…and He healed them” (Matthew 4:23-25 NKJV). (2) “When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them…And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease” (Matthew 9:36; 1 0:1 NKJV). (3) “When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognised Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well” (Matthew 14:34-36 NKJV). (4) “A great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon… came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases…And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all” (Luke 6:17-19 NKJV). Since Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday, today, and forever,” that means you can pray in faith, trusting God’s goodness, while submitting to His will.

Believe God for a breakthrough

Sun, 11 Jan 2026

“God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.” 1 Chronicles 14:11

The Bible says: “The Philistines went and made a raid on the Valley of Rephaim. And David inquired of God, saying, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?’ The Lord said to him, ‘Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand.’ So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, ‘God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water’” (vv. 9-11 NKJV).

Notice how David likened God’s power to the bursting forth of waters. He is saying that when God shows up and releases His power, it will be like a flood of His goodness, His power, His favour, His healing, His wisdom, His resources, and whatever else you need. Think about how powerful water is: Only a few feet of water can lift a huge car weighing thousands of pounds and push it all around. On the news we have seen entire houses and buildings carried downstream in torrents of water. Nothing can stop it. Nothing is allowed to stand in its way. And that’s what happens when God gives you a breakthrough and releases a flood of His power on your behalf. And God has not changed. His power has not diminished. “Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You” (Jeremiah 32:17 NKJV). God is able to move on your behalf. And He is willing—so ask Him for a breakthrough.

One of the hardest news to accept😪😪 is when the doctor says there’s nothing left to do, there’s only two options: keep her sleeping until her body collapses or give her morphine to ease her pains." Our world fell apart and we didn't know how to break the news, we just knew we had to tell it.
We walked into her room and she smiled at us (our eyes were red and swollen from crying) and she said don't cry, I understand it's the end, but there's no reason to be sad. She took our hands and cuddled us and we immediately hugged her. "Don't worry, it's part of life and you have to understand that we are all just passing through" (all while we cried like children unable to comfort ourselves). After she caught her breath, we told her the options and she chose to stay awake so she could spend a few more days with us. Some days she woke up without pain, ate and some days she was very happy, laughed and we had great days (after many bad months)...
Definitely in the hardest times you know who your true friends are or the people who really values you. Unfortunately, most friendships abandon you and only send you "good vibes" but from a distance, not anymore..
I decided to post this message in support of someone very special to me who fought a lot and with good energy. She taught me to live every day as the best day! Now I'm looking, those who will have time to read this post until the end. This is a little test, just to see who reads and who shares without reading! If you have read all, select "like" so I can put a thank you on your profile. Cancer is very invasive and destructive to our body. Even after the fight Its a very long process. Please, in honor of someone who died or is fighting #Cancer or even had cancer, but was healed; copy and paste. Everyone says, "if you need anything, don't hesitate, I'll be there for you."
So I'm going to do a challenge, I think less than half of my friends will put this on their wall. Just copy ( don't share ) I want to know who I can count on

Demonstrate your faith

Sat, 10 Jan 2026

“Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralysed man…‘Stand up.’” Mark 2:5, 11

The Bible says: “While he was preaching…four men arrived carrying a paralysed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof…Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralysed man…‘Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!’ And the man jumped up, grabbed his mat, and walked out through the stunned onlookers. They were all amazed and praised God, exclaiming, ‘We’ve never seen anything like this before!’” (vv. 2-5, 11-12 NLT).

Notice the words “when Jesus saw their faith” (NKJV). Do you have faith God can see? What are you doing to show God, you truly believe Him and are taking Him at His Word? It’s important to pray and believe, but you must also do something to demonstrate your faith. For the four men who carried their sick friend to Jesus, demonstrating their faith meant refusing to let the crowd get in their way, or the roof stop them from getting to Jesus. Sometimes you are closest to your victory when you face your greatest obstacles or opposition. A lot of people give up too easily. You say, “I’ve tried, but nothing I have done has worked.” You must be more determined than that. If you can’t get through the crowd, climb up and come down through the roof. Be relentless. That’s what these men did, and Jesus rewarded them with a miracle. And when you are willing to demonstrate a determined faith, He can do the same for you too.

Hummm.

“Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as God has known me.” 1 Corinthians 13:12

When Corrie ten Boom travelled the world sharing her experiences, she would often speak with her head down. She appeared to be reading notes, but she was actually stitching a needlepoint design. When she would finish telling her story of the atrocities she suffered from the Nazis, she would reveal the needlepoint she had been working on.

She would first show the back side, which was just a tangle of coloured threads with no distinct pattern. And she would say, “That’s how we see our lives. Sometimes it makes no sense.” Then she would flip the needlepoint over to unveil the finished side. And she would say, “This is how God views your life, and someday we will have the privilege of seeing it from His point of view.” Then she would end her talk with this poem written by Grant Colfax Tullar, a minister: “My life is but a weaving between my Lord and me; I cannot choose the colours, He worketh steadily. Oft times He weaveth sorrow and I, in foolish pride, forget He sees the upper, and I the underside. Not til the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly, will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful in the Weaver’s skilful hand, as the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.” Paul writes, “Now we see a dim reflection, as if we were looking into a mirror, but then we shall see clearly. Now I know only a part, but then I will know fully, as God has known me.”

I pray God give me the courage and the boldness to do this too whenever I am in Europe.
God bless her 🙏

Each day of your life is a gift

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12

Motivational speaker Denis Waitley describes an experience that marked his life forever. He was trying to catch a flight for a speaking commitment and was running through the airport terminal. He reached the gate just as the agent closed the door. Denis explained his dilemma, but the agent didn’t reopen the door. That’s when his annoyance turned into anger. He stomped out of the boarding area and returned to the ticket counter to lodge a complaint and reschedule his flight.

His anger increased as he waited for over twenty minutes in a line that hardly moved. Right before his turn at the ticket counter, an announcement over the intercom changed his life, because he realised that by missing that flight, his life had been saved. The flight he missed, Flight 191 from Chicago to Los Angeles, had crashed on take off with no survivors. Denis never lodged his complaint. He also never returned his invalidated ticket for Flight 191. He brought it home and tacked it on a bulletin board in his office. In the aftermath of that experience, anytime he felt irritated or upset, all he had to do was look at that ticket from Flight 191. It was an unforgettable reminder that life is a gift that should not be undervalued. The psalmist wrote: “The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years…it is soon cut off, and we fly away…So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (vv. 10, 12 NKJV).
