Christianity Etc › Give Your Children Confidence by Btruth(op): 8:36am On Dec 30, 2025
Give your children confidence

Tue, 30 Dec 2025

‘May our sons flourish…May our daughters be…graceful.’ Psalm 144:12

Constantly tell your child that they’re loved, valuable, and capable. Otherwise, their self-evaluation will be based on their worst qualities and perceptions rather than their best ones.

Psychologists say that some of the world’s most successful people suffer from “imposter syndrome.” When interviewed, these people often express deep self-doubt, saying they don’t feel worthy of the position they hold or the high opinion others have of them. Where did that begin? At home. Often, this self-concept is formed before puberty—when a child has no clear sense of identity and feels unattractive, unintelligent, or useless. That’s when you, as a parent, need to speak into their life with wisdom and love. Reassure them that this season is just a short-term experience—like traveling through a tunnel from which they will certainly emerge. Be the one who helps them understand the emotional and physical changes that come with adolescence. Talk openly about the sexual awakening that’s about to occur and how to navigate it responsibly and morally. Not to do so is to leave them vulnerable—coping alone with questions they don’t yet have answers to. Yes, discipline and instruction are part of your role. But if your child constantly feels like you’re “on their back” instead of “on their team,” they may lose confidence and initiative, struggling to develop a healthy self-concept. And if your own parents failed to speak this way into your life, ask God to help you break that cycle—for your child’s sake. The psalmist David offers a beautiful prayer of blessing: ‘May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace.’ (Psalm 144:12 NLT)

‘Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.’ Romans 8:37

In some of the world’s greatest success stories, you will find chapters of failure and discouragement.

Dr. Seuss’s first children’s book was turned down by twenty-seven different publishers. The twenty-eighth publisher sold six hundred million copies, and Dr. Seuss’s perseverance resulted in helping millions of children learn to read. In their first year of business, the Coca-Cola company usually sold only nine servings of its drink a day. But they persevered, and today they are the leading soft-drink seller in the world. Henry Ford went bankrupt twice in his initial three years in the car industry. But he persevered, and today Ford is the second-largest American-based automobile company and the fifth biggest worldwide. In 1905 the University of Bern in Switzerland rejected a PhD dissertation by a student named Albert Einstein, describing it as ‘irrelevant and fanciful.’ Was he disappointed? Sure—wouldn’t you be? Did he give up? No, he kept on writing. And consider this: As a redeemed child of God, you have a plus factor; God is on your side. ‘God is for me’ (Psalm 56:9 NKJV). That changes the equation and tilts the odds in your favour. Paul writes: ‘Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?…Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us’ (Romans 8:35, 37 NKJV). With God, despite whatever you’re facing, it’s always too early to quit. Hold on because His grace and strength are always on their way.

North and south Nigeria can no longer live in harmony and it's clear to see. It's time we all have a referendum to split Nigeria into 5 or 6 countries. We would agree to share the oil revenue for the next 15 years as we have been together for 60 plus years. The 15 years will allow the individual countries to build the necessary infrastructure etc, it needs to survive. Also the south south will get the lion share of the oil revenue, but after the 15 years elapse, no more oil sharing . Each country should finally now rely on their national resources and human capital etc. This will foster competition and development and it's the way to go as no one will feel left out or marginalised. God bless

good idea though. But does the FG care to this level?
Christianity Etc › Are You Confused About Your Calling? (2) by Btruth(op): 5:40am On Dec 28, 2025
Are you confused about your calling? (2)

Sun, 28 Dec 2025

‘Faithful is He Who is calling you… and He will…[fulfil His call by hallowing and keeping you].’ 1 Thessalonians 5:24

When it comes to your life’s calling, here are two more myths that can sabotage you:

(1) Making the wrong choice can somehow thwart God’s will. You don’t have to worry on this score because the Bible tells us that the God ‘Who is calling you…will…[fulfil His call by hallowing and keeping you].’ It’s always commendable to want to make the best choice you can. But the fact remains that at some point you have to go ahead and make a choice, and no choice you make is outside of God’s control. Even if you don’t know where the path you have chosen will eventually lead, you can rest assured in the knowledge that ‘all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to…those who…are called according to [His] design and purpose’ (Romans 8:28 AMPC). (2) Your calling is settled. Finding your calling isn’t necessarily what you do once or twice in a lifetime. It’s not something you check off a list and move on. The life of a Christian is a continual process of discovering your calling. And because God has called you to a specific purpose at a specific time doesn’t mean His plans for you won’t change. Who knows what the next stage of your life will bring? Everyone’s calling is going to look distinct, and every chapter of your life will bring a fresh process of discernment. The important thing to remember is that God is in control, He loves you, and His will is always to draw you closer to Him.

Are you confused about your calling? (1)

Sat, 27 Dec 2025

‘God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable…’ Romans 11:29

If you’re questioning your calling, author Diane Paddison identifies two thought patterns that may be sabotaging your thinking.

(1) It’s all about you. Your calling isn’t about self-fulfilment; it’s about submission to God’s will for your life. Many people experience satisfaction from exercising their God-given gifts. But it’s a result of being in God’s will, not the goal. To discern God’s will, you must develop your relationship with Him through prayer and Bible study. You must also develop relationships with peers and mentors who will pray for you and speak truth into your life. (2) If it’s uncomfortable, it can’t be your calling. Knowing what you’re meant to be doing is often just the start of a long, demanding journey. Some of the most successful people in history endured overwhelming failure in pursuit of their paths. Moses’ calling didn’t seem all that wonderful to him. His response? ‘Who am I that I should go?’ He questioned God, but God responded, ‘I will be with you.’ Still, Moses continued to question: ‘But what if they don’t believe me?’ Even when God provided him with miraculous signs, they weren’t enough. He came back with, ‘But I’m slow of speech.’ Clearly, Moses was called to a task God designed for him—and it didn’t feel good to him. Moses tried every way he knew to prove to God that He had the wrong man for the job. And when that didn’t work, he asked God to send someone else! (See Exodus 4). Can you relate? If so, keep this thought in mind: Discomfort doesn’t automatically mean you’re on the wrong path. The truth is—discomfort usually precedes growth.

Let your life make a difference

Fri, 26 Dec 2025

‘I will…show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ Jeremiah 33:3

Dr. Ernest Sachs wanted to make a difference in the world. And he did. Years ago most brain tumours were fatal. Sachs heard a surgeon predict that someday a cure would be discovered that could save all those lives, and he determined to be that surgeon.

At the time, the leading expert on the anatomy of the brain was Sir Victor Horsley. Sachs received permission to study under him but felt he should prepare for the experience by studying for six months under some of the most able physicians in Germany. Then he went to England, where for two years he assisted Dr. Horsley in long and intricate experiments on dozens of monkeys. When Sachs returned to America, he was ridiculed by the medical establishment for requesting the opportunity to treat brain tumours. For years he fought obstacles and discouragement, driven by a desire to succeed in his quest. And succeed he did! Today, largely thanks to Dr. Sachs, the majority of brain tumours can be cured. And his book Diagnosis and Treatment of Brain Tumours is considered the standard authority on the subject. Just because something isn’t presently done doesn’t mean it can’t be done. And maybe you are the one to do it! And as a redeemed child of God, think of the advantage you have: ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ (v. 3 NKJV) ‘For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding’ (Proverbs 2:6 NKJV). Use your faith, and believe God for great things.
Christianity Etc › Finding God In The Ordinary! by Btruth(op): 7:48am On Dec 26, 2025
Finding God in the ordinary!

Thu, 25 Dec 2025

‘There were… shepherds… in the field… and… the angel of the Lord came upon them.’ Luke 2:8-9

It was an ordinary night. In fact, if it hadn’t been for a God who loves to put ‘extra’ before ‘ordinary’ it might have gone unnoticed. One minute the shepherds are sleeping, the next they’re rubbing their eyes, staring at an extra-terrestrial being who says, ‘I bring you good tidings of great joy… unto you is born… a Saviour’ (Lk 2:10-11).

A Saviour – what a Christmas gift! Ever wondered why the angel appeared to ordinary, everyday people? Think about it; if He’d appeared to the theologians, they’d have had to consult their commentaries and denominational boards. If He’d appeared to the rich and powerful, they’d have had to check and see who was watching. If He’d appeared to a group of chief executives, they’d have had to consult their smartphones. So He gave the news to a bunch of guys with no reputation to protect, no axe to grind, and no ladder to climb. Men who didn’t know enough to argue that angels don’t serenade shepherds, and Messiahs aren’t found wrapped in rags in a feeding trough! Outside Bethlehem there’s a cathedral marking Jesus’ birthplace. Behind the altar is a cave with a symbolic star embedded in the floor. You can enter and admire the ancient church. You can even enter the cave, but with one requirement – you must kneel. The door’s too low to get in standing up! The same is true of God. He’s generally found among ordinary people. To experience Him, all you have to do is get down on your knees!

This Christmas reach out to someone

Wed, 24 Dec 2025

‘The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.’ John 1:14

Here’s a great story from Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. It’s about a recovering alcoholic called Jim.

It was his first Christmas alone, and when a young family sat down beside him in the pew he couldn’t handle it. As he was leaving the church he met Pastor Thomas Tedwell, who asked where he was going. ‘Out for a drink,’ he replied. Tedwell said, ‘You can’t. Where’s your sponsor?’ ‘On vacation,’ replied Jim. ‘I came here tonight looking for a word of hope and ended up sitting beside this happy family. And if I had my life together, I’d be here with mine.’ As the pastor walked to the pulpit he prayed, ‘God, give me a word of hope for Jim.’ Then after welcoming the congregation, he said, ‘I’ve an unusual request. If anyone here is a friend of Bill W’s, and if you are—you’ll know it, please meet me in the vestry.’ (Bill Wilson, better known as Bill W., co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous.) Immediately people from all over the church began to respond. As Dr. Tedwell observed, ‘While I was busy preaching about the Incarnation, the Word was becoming flesh before my eyes!’ This Christmas some of the people around you are hurting; they’ve lost hope. So, ‘Let the word become flesh.’ Lift the fallen, encourage the despairing, and minister to the sick, the lonely, and the forgotten. Jesus said, ‘When you did it to these my brothers you were doing it to me!’ (Matthew 25:40 TLB) Instead of keeping to yourself this year, reach out to someone. Go ahead—it’ll be your best Christmas ever!

Christianity Etc › Sittin' Pretty In Jesus! by Btruth(op): 6:10am On Dec 23, 2025
Sittin’ pretty in Jesus!

Tue, 23 Dec 2025

‘God, who is rich in mercy…raised us up…and made us sit together in…heavenly places in Christ Jesus.’ Ephesians 2:4, 6

For many years Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse pastored Philadelphia’s Tenth Presbyterian Church. One Sunday morning a twelve-year-old boy in the balcony was transfixed after hearing him speak about the length and breadth and depth of God’s amazing grace.

Barnhouse closed his sermon by summarising many of the great promises from Scripture in one impressive sentence: ‘Our sins are forgiven, forgotten, cleansed, pardoned…covered…blotted out as a thick cloud, removed as far as the east is from the west…cast behind God’s back.’ At the end of the service, when Barnhouse went to the back to greet people, the boy approached him, tugged at his sleeve, and said, ‘Good sermon, Doc! We’re sure sittin’ pretty, aren’t we?’ That glorious phrase ‘in Christ’ speaks to the redemptive miracle God performed for us through His Son (See Romans 8:1; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 15:22; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:6–13). The word ‘in’ assures us that just as our natural birth positioned us in Adam, our forefather, at the new birth God deliberately and precisely positions us in Jesus, our Redeemer. Think about it: ‘God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses…raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus’ (Ephesians 2:4–6 NKJV).Note that we’re seated together in heavenly places in Christ, not beside Him. And it gets even better! We’re seated there so closely identified with Jesus that we’re inseparably and eternally one with Him! Now if that’s not sittin’ pretty, tell us what is!
