jidegirl12: 4. PRACTICAL SKILLS

I wish I'd asked my dad to show me how to do DIY! Teaching your daughter practical skills will be very useful, so that she can deal with basic household and car repairs. Make sure she knows how to cook, so that she eats a healthy diet and doesn't end up living on prepared meals.

5. BODY CONFIDENCE

Far too many girls feel that there is something wrong with their physical appearance. They find fault with every part of themselves and their negative body image affects their whole life. Show your daughter how to feel confident about her looks, and that she should be happy with what she has. She should not compare herself unfavourably to media images, or let mean comments affect her.

6. EQUAL TO MEN

Your daughter should feel that she is equal to men in every way. Whatever they do, she can do. There are no professions that are closed to her; she can be whatever she wants. She can play sports, fly a plane, and be independent. But equality goes both ways - she should also respect men as her equals.

7. NOTHING COMES FREE

This is a lesson that you should teach all your children, not just girls. They should not expect anything to be given to them. Instead, they must learn to work for what they want. Too many adults expect their parents to subsidise them, sometimes to the point of thousands of dollars. It's understandable that you might want to help your children out, especially if they hit hard times, but teach them independence. Don't let them assume that they can treat you as a bank.

Parenting is definitely the hardest job you will ever do. Many think that raising girls presents more challenges, especially in these times of unspoken messages about body image. The important thing is to teach your daughter to be independent and confident.

sidespin: SAY THE TRUTH AND AVOID GREED

Many years ago a fellow (who would do anything for money) helped me in one of my meetings. But he didn't last long in my ministry when I saw what his motives were. It seemed like he'd practically just lie awake at night trying to figure out how to get money out of people. We were using the church auditorium of a large Full Gospel church to hold a meeting. Our budget for the meetings included the expenses of a daily radio program, newspaper advertisements, and then our own expenses. Well, this fellow would make the announcements, and I'd stay back in the speaker room and pray until it was time for me to preach. This fellow and I had made the agreement that once our expenses were met, we would divide whatever money was left over between us, and that would be our support. We ran the meetings four weeks. After the second week of meetings, this fellow came to me and said, "We've already got enough money to pay for our expenses. "But let's not tell the people that because they are giving so good. Let's just keep on like we're raising money for the radio program and for the expenses of the meeting."

"No," I said, "that would be lying. We're not going to do that."

"But we're going to miss an opportunity if we don't," he said.
"We could really clean up here." I said, "No, we're not going to do that because we've got our word out. We told the people what we would do, and we're going to do what we said we'd do." "Well," he said, "I'm the one out there taking up the offering. I'm just going to go ahead and do it."
"No, you're not," I said, "because there's a speaker back there in the room where I'm praying. And if you say that, I'm going to come right out, get on the platform, and tell the folks you're lying."
"Well," he said, "you're going to miss it! I'll tell you that right now! I see that you just don't know how to make it."

Well, that was the last time he ever took up an offering for me. Somehow, no one has heard from that fellow for years, but I'm still out there preaching the Word! Somehow, I managed to make it by telling the truth and by doing unto others as I'd have them do unto me. Some folks are just out to do in the other fellow. Instead of doing the other fellow in, they should be trying to outdo the other fellow in love! We ought to try to figure out how to be a blessing to people! We need to be asking ourselves, How can I bless people? How can I do good to them? (Kenneth E Hagin)

anibi9674: It means spiritual dirtiness, livin comfortable in sin.

Ralphlauren: rubbish.

nobody is ever 100 percent ready for marriage.

marriage is a school. you keep learning every single day.

Joagbaje: Okay You have won.

Bidam: Mr.. We are very much aware of the fact that there are false prophets around who milk the sheep but that doesn't negate the fact that genuine pastors are not also around.If you are a true child of God and you attend your local assembly,the pastor shouldn't even mention giving before you give for Church projects and the rest.

As long as you exhibit this gentile mindset of urs that you are giving to man..you re missing it.

Giving just like prayers is an act of your worship to God and not to men.
