LordKO:
"Independent woman" one of the most abused words out there. A financially emancipated woman isn't automatically an independent woman. So, there's nothing opportunistic about a man who loves independent women. Only a man who makes claim of loving financially emancipated women and live off them is an opportunist.

An independent woman is a woman that lives life on principle rather than expediency - a strong-minded woman. A woman who's emotionally, morally and mentally (intellectually and psychologically) emancipated - if she's financially emancipated that's just an added advantage for her, while lack of it takes nothing away from her.

Meanwhile, whether feeble-minded women and headstrong women are financially emancipated or not, they've no right to lay claim of independence, since they're unemancipated morally, psychologically and emotionally.

In summary, there's nothing independent about an impressionable and venal woman (person).

True...I guess we can't have it all

Ferdinandu:
God does not call you the way he calls Samuel and tell you this is your life partner . Pick the person you feel it is right for you then give out time for courtship. During those period of courtship is the time you will continuously pray to God that if the person is not the right person for you he should reveal a reason why it cannot be. I tell you if you are really faithful to God, it is either a reason will materialise or nothing may happen then you go ahead and get married for God has already blessed your union for seeking his face.

GOOD..

Ladies, there is no reason to do this to any man. I believe we all know what we want out of a relationship, except if there is an unexpected occurrence.

So, she most likely knew this guy wasn't who she wanted to settle down with in the long run, but she led him on. That itself is wickedness and if a man did such, the "men are scum" chants will be loud.

Now she has left him broken for another woman to deal with. This one done turn alpha male straight. Na the next babe to suffer am.

Exactly....I dislike people (men or women) who lead others on romantically but knowing fully well they don't see a future with that kind of person. That is to selfish!

magicminister:
Nigerians have accepted dehumanization as a norm.
They see nothing wrong with pArents brutalizing a child or a family having an underaged “house help” who does all the work.

The moment you “arrive” (become an elected public office holder) it is expected that you flaunt your wealth publicly while throwing crumps at your sycophants that grovel at your feet.
Same sycophants that would burn an 8 year old child for theft or drive a nail through a child’s head after accusing the child of Witchery.

We so quick to praise the white man while dehumanize ourselves... we fight and kill ourselves while we parcel away our best brains to other countries instead developing them.




I keep speaking up but sometimes I wonder why?
I’m successful inspite of my background and the people I speak out for are not fed up with living a short, brutish and miserable lives. It is well!!

True that...

All time crush!!!

If a couple truly loves God, the marriage cant but succeed. If you know, you know. Couples have to be responsible to a higher authority. Jesus Christ have already given us access to God.Dying to self and Yielding to God's principles is a sure way to live a Happily married life. Remember it takes two in agreement to create this fellowship that sustains marriage.

This is the "secret" many do not know. Thank God for the privilege of having this knowledge.

TEMINIKANSOSO:
That woman in your life is an angel, but I don't know what kind of angel she is. If you need peace of mind from her, you must sacrifice some things to appease her because women are Demidevil.
If you want to be happy make your woman happy.
Women are like clay you can mould them to whatever you want, but remember creation can hurt creator, therefore do everything to make an angel out of your woman.
Women demand hardly change but varies slightly with personalities. Therefore, we have shortlisted the things we believe every women requires from there men. We are hopeful this will add value to your relationship.

1. Compliment her as often as possible: Women love to be told they are beautiful over and over again. Praise her work rate and attitude, whatsoever she wears tell her how she looks, compliment before correction, if there is any. If you do not remind her how wonderful she is, others will do. The best and first attention you can give to your woman is to notice and compliment what she is wearing. Flatter her, she will fall in love with you over and over again. Moderation is the key anyway.

2. Gift her: Women love gift, do not wait till her birthday or special occasions. Buy her present and she will always be present in your life. Do it, even if she is not asking.

3. Call her often: Nothing makes a woman happy and confident more than receiving her man's call when others are watching and listening as she smiles like someone who founds lost money. Give her a call especially when she told you she will be hanging out with her friends.

4. Do not give up on texting her: Nearly all relationship begins by a boy texting a girl, every morning and night, but suddenly, that changes once she say YES, this makes her open to another person who gives her a beautiful wake up messages. Once in a while, spark the love with beautiful poem, quote, voice messages or songs.

5. Always remind her that you will never leave her nor change: She will romantically die in your arms, as long as you give her assurance. Women don't like doing shifting cultivation once they are guaranteed.

6. Let her know you have a plan for her in your future: Once a woman picture herself in your future, she will stand by you through thick and thin of life.

7. Become a success: Women don't want a man's role, especially when it comes to paying of bills. Do not propose her, if you cannot shoulder the responsibilities that will follow. My brother love is demanding. Loving and caring is a big task. She will be supportive if you are broke, if you have been there enough for her. The best way to make your woman happy is to be a success. She will be proud of you and want to stay with you forever. Women love money! Yea, but I don't think any human dislikes money.

8. Control your emotions: Act like you are strong, even if you are not. What makes a man man is the ability to hide their emotions. No woman feel convenient with a man who cries over every issue or too weak to handle emotional matters.
If you tell a woman your problem, she will give you solution by sharing her own problem. Maturity in marriage is ability to control your emotions especially anger, sexual urge, fear and happiness.
Note: She will definitely annoys you but do not hit any woman. Contol it. You hardly see a He-goat fighting She-goat. It is self-respect.

9. Be faithful: Women love and trust easily, do not cheat on her, infidelity is one of the major cause of breakup and divorce today, if you are tired be man enough to call it quit than cheating. If women shouldn't cheat, no man deserves to.

10. Consistently show her off: This is confidence booster and position determinant for women. If you can flaunt her, you will always have her. Automatically her mind will be turn on that she is not extra tyre for you.
In conclusion, Support, trust, care, love, attention, commitment, interest and understanding are all what every relationship requires to keep the fire burning. But our focus in the article was on practical things that portrays the above.
What do you think we left out?

Agreed. To a real woman who deserves it though.

Richdad50:


IK OGBONNA has a child's heart and behavior. A man who has struggled with self esteem hence, sojourned to Colombia to bring home a beautiful curvy wife in the spirit of a big hunt.

That beautiful woman deserves a true man. A man who understands what it means for a woman to leave her country and family to live with you in a strange land. If she does that, then she must have loved you and the least she deserve was to be loved.

When men with boy's heart marry, they only bring pain. They do not have the maturity to nurture, love, and groom but a real man is a woman's delight, for in him she finds peace; the one most important virtue she needs to flourish, excell, and live her dreams in reality.

Some social rules may help you to look professional:

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call that means they have something more important to attend to.

2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the other person remembers lending it to you. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.

3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is treating you for lunch/dinner. If possible ask them to order their choice of food for you.

4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ For god’s sake it isn’t your problem.

5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. Doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public.

6. If you take a taxi with a friend, and he/she pays now, you pay next time.

7. Respect different political opinions.

8. Never interrupt people talking.

9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again.

10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.

11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately.

12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic If they want to talk about losing weight, they will.

13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next

14. Don't fix a time without being punctual yourself. It's bad habit.

15. Take time management serious because time is actually money for many people.

Benevee:
*WHO IS ESTHER?*
It happened in the land of Shushan during the days of King Ahasuerus that in the third year of his reign, he decided to hold a feast for all his officials and servants to show the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty. He had a wife named *Queen Vashti* who also made a feast for the women in her royal place.

On a certain day, the heart of the king was merry with wine and he commanded his chamberlains to bring *Queen Vashti* with her royal crown in other to show her beauty to the people because she was beautiful to behold. But she refused to show up.

*Queen Vashti* lacked honour for her husband
*Queen Vashti* was beautiful but proud
*Queen Vashti* lost her opportunity
*Queen Vashti* had the inability to apologize for her wrong
*Queen Vashti* was used as an example to other women to teach them how to honour their husbands be it great or small..

Now, Esther in the picture.

A young beautiful orphan whose name was *Hadassah* *(Esther)* who was raised by Mordecai and was among the beautiful virgins that was sought for the King.
*Esther* possessed the following qualities which I will recommend for any ideal woman. They are as follows;

1). *Not loquacious*: Despite the favour *Esther* found before Hegai, the keeper of the women,she did no reveal anything to her people or kindred. Now, in our time, women no longer control their speech, especially in the area of marriage, finance and other area. For any woman to be successful, she must learn to *"work hard in silence and let success make the noise"*

2). *Contentment*: Every woman in the palace had twelve(12) months for preparation-six months of oil and myrrh and six months with perfumes for beautification. Each woman went to the king and was given whatever she desired but when it was Esther's turn, she requested nothing. She just wanted to appear natural and making extra effort by adorning herself more than necessary to please the King.

In our present day, many women would wish to apply all the make ups and paintings on their faces to attract men only to discover that not all men are actually after physique but *character*

3). *Obedience*: Even when Esther found grace and favour before the King and was set with the royal crown and made a Queen, she still did not reveal it to her kindred as commanded by Mordecai. And even when the two eunuchs of the King, *Bigthan* and *Teresh* sought to lay hands on the King, it got to the ears of Mordecai who in turn told Esther and she obeyed and told the King who later gave a command that they should be hanged.

"As the saying goes," To obey is better than to sacrifice". Many sisters lack this virtue of obedience and would rather prefer to make decisions on their own which most times results in regrets..

4). *Considerate*: *Queen Esther* did not disregard the fact that she had a country, neither did she neglect this because she had been made a Queen but she considered her people (the Jews) when Haaman conspired to destroy them. *Queen Esther* placed her people first before pleasure for Haaman to be put to shame.

5). *Understanding of purpose*: According to the knowledge of the King's provinces that no man or woman goes into the inner court to the King who has not been called, but *Queen Esther* understood her purpose in the palace and used that medium to exercise her power in delivering her people from the hands of Haaman. She was indeed a *sacrificial woman*.

How many of us still consider where where we came from when we get married to a prominent man in the country?

Do we go with him for the purpose of enjoying material things or making impacts that would benefit the upcoming generation?

Do we stand to fight for justice and not compromise standards because of money?

6). *Prayerfulness*: This is the virtue most of us know about *Queen Esther*. ." ........and if I perish, I perish!". Yes, *Esther* interceded for her nation for three days and nights so that she could go in before the King and find favour before him concerning Haaman's conspiracy against the Jews.

i) Prayer makes you find favour before God and man
ii) Prayer settle matters in the spiritual realm before they manifest in the physical.
iii) Prayer disannul laws and orders of the land.

7). *Humility in speech*: "If it pleases the King, let the King and Haaman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for Him". *Esther* would have just told the King immediately what her request was since the golden sceptre had been stretched unto her which qualified her to make her petitions before the King.

. *Patience*: *Queen Esther* did not misuse her power. Even when the King and Haaman to the banquet of wine, that the King asked again what her petition was. But she said to the King, " and if it pleases the King to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the King and Haaman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them Tomorrow ". *Queen Esther* took her time to prepare a nice banquet and an avenue to make her petition.

9) *Confidence*: *Queen Esther* was confident to her case to the King. She knew that was the right time to tell of the evil Haaman had planned to do to her people. At that point, the King was wrath with Haaman's plan.
Remember, the King initially could not sleep because of *Esther*. He wanted to grant her request for she had found favour in his sight.

Note:
i). She was obedient to the call
ii). She had a natural beauty that she was comfortable with.
iii). She was considerate about her people.
iv). She was bold to blot out the conspiracy of Haaman against her people before the King in an humbly manner
v). She was a great intercessor and committed one to; praying for the nation
vi). *Mordecai* was elevated because of *Esther*

Be like *Esther* and save the nation.

pinkpearl17:
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33 NLT

One of the most important part of being a Christian is knowing that it does not make us immune to life's troubles and struggles.

As Christians, God never promised us a hitch-free ride all the way. In fact, the scripture says, many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers them from it all. It is easy for us to question the goodness and greatness of God when things go awry.

You can still be doing things right and suffer.
Therefore, those who are ill-treated and suffer in accordance with the will of God must [continue to] do right and commit their souls [for safe-keeping] to the faithful Creator.

1 PETER 4:19 AMP

So yes, why does God allow us go through trials? Does it mean He does not love us? Certainly not! God's love for us is unquestionable. Here are reasons why we may get afflicted

1. Afflictions teach us perseverance
Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.

JAMES 1:2‭-‬4 AMP

2. Trials increase our knowledge and they help us learn God’s Word.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.

PSALMS 119:71 AMP

3. To discipline us
Hebrews 12:5-11 “And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”

4. Sometimes our trials come as a result of our mistakes

Honestly speaking, i have taken wrong steps at certain periods of my life and neglected the word of God and i have had to deal with the consequences. If you commit murder, you go to jail. Bad lifestyle choices can cause sickness. God forgives us but we still have to face the natural consequences of our actions.
Proverbs 19:2-3 “Desire without knowledge is not good– how much more will hasty feet miss the way! A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the LORD.”
For every person will have to bear [with patience] his own burden [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible].

GALATIANS 6:5 AMP

But despite our mistakes, God still finds a way to use it for a greater good.

5. To keep you humble
even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

2 Corinthians 12:7 NLT

As humans, we may tend to forget the inportance of humility in our daily walk as Christians so we sometimes face situations which tends to put us in check so we don't fall to destruction.

6. To partake in the sufferings of Christ and be more like Him.
Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.

If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!

1 Peter 4:12‭-‬16 NLT

In suffering, the life of Christ is more visible in us as Christ was heavily persecuted while on earth.
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.2 Corinthians 4:8‭-‬10 NLT

7. To develop strength of character
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Romans 5:3‭-‬5 NLT

8. To be more empathetic about the plight of others
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation!

For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer.

2 Corinthians 1:4‭-‬6 NLT

I know it seems when we are in troubled times, the world should stop and focus on us, afterall, you are in pains. On the contrary, this is an opportunity to reach out to those who might be passing through something similar and encourage them. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one or the marriage has unravelled. Helping others gives us an upliftment of Spirit.

9. For eternal glory
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

2 Corinthians 4:16‭-‬18 NLT

A process unto santification. To purify us.
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold.

So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.1 Peter 1:6‭-‬7 NLT

What happens after?

Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.JAMES 1:12 AMP

Finally friends, all things work together for good to them that are in Christ Jesus. I know it may not seem that way when we are plagued by adversity but nevertheless hold on to the word of God. It is the only assurance. Don't let the devil convince you otherwise.

We all face storms in life, some more difficult than the others. But we all go through trials and tribulations, that is why we have the gift of faith. -Joyce Meyer

Stay blessed

From FeedMeJesus.com

Have you ever had that moment when you desperately needed God’s direction to know what exactly you ought to do and how you should do it?

I mean we’ve all had these moments when we are caught between two or more decisions and we needed to be led by the Spirit to make the right one.

A common pain most people face at such moments is having the people they look up to for spiritual guidance give them that popular “go look through the Bible” answer. Like you can literally find whether to relocate to Benin or Ibadan from the Bible.

Don’t get me wrong. While it is true that the Bible can guide you through decision making, it is also true you cannot depend on it for things outside of it. Day to day choices I mean.

For instance, there’s not a single part of the Bible that says you can attend University of Nigeria, Nsukka or Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. So if you are faced with the decision of choosing between the two schools, you can’t actually know from the Bible which is best for you to attend at the moment and get your degree.

You will have to depend on something other than the Bible for that choice. That is where the Spirit of God comes in.

But the unfortunate thing is, most people have actually made being led by God more difficult than it really is.

That is why today, we’ll take a closer look at the Word again and see what it’s got to say about the leading of the Spirit and how we can easily know when God is leading us in a particular direction or not.

Let us start with Ezekiel 36:26-27 (KJV)

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and do them.”

From the above passage, we can see that God’s promises to cause His people to walk in His ways, which is to lead them, actually pre-dates the New Covenant writings.

Although the type of leading the writer was talking about here was to be ushered in by the New Covenant because as at the time this prophecy was given, the people were led in a completely different way - mostly externally via signs and symbols.

They had to depend on things like the Urim and Thummim, Events, Fleece and occasionally prophets who only had the Spirit of God dwelling on them on specific occasions for directions.

For instance in Judges Chapter 6, Verses 36 to 40

“And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,

Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.”

It wasn't just Gideon alone. A whole lot of the Old Testament folks depended on such methods to know when they are being divinely led to carry out a particular function or not.

But this wasn’t the best God had in store for them. So He inspired Ezekiel and several other prophets to tell His people that a day is coming when they will no longer depend on such external forces to know when He’s leading them or not.

They will have His Spirit permanently living within them all (not just resting on a selected few occasionally) and causing them to walk in His ways. A promise which was fulfilled in the New Birth.

At New Birth, we ALL received within us the Holy Spirit of God, that knows the mind of God.

“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.” Ephesians 1:13

So at the New Birth (when we first believed the Gospel), we received the Spirit of God within us, and this Spirit knows the mind of God or the will of God concerning us.

“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” 1 Cor.2:11-12

Knowing what God will have us do at every and any moment of our lives, this Spirit of God leads or causes us to do those things.

But how does He do this so we are able to do the will of God effortlessly? The writer of Philippians, our brother Paul, gives us a clue.

“For it is God which worketh in you both to WILL and DO of his good pleasure.” Phi.2:13 KJV (Emphasis mine)

Here Apostle Paul clearly points out to us that the Spirit of God in causing us or leading us to DO the pleasure of God first of all makes that pleasure our WILL or DESIRE.

That is, the Spirit puts God’s directions first in our hearts as a compelling desire. Having become our desires, we effortlessly do them.

So there is no force pulling us externally or threatening us with a loud voice saying for instance, “this is my will for you John Smith, do it.” No, not all. We just sense within our hearts a deep desire to do something and we follow it through knowing that that is what God would have us do.

Does it now mean every of our hearts desire or will after we are born again are of God? Certainly not! You and I both know a desire to do evil or hurt others cannot in any way be from God.

So the desires here that God inspires or puts within our hearts are godly, pure and edifying.

How then can I be sure between two godly desires of my heart, the one I should follow or do at a particular time? [/b]The Bible tells us:

[b]“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 KJV

The word translated as “keep” in that verse 7 is the same word for “guard”. Here it is used to mean that God’s peace, like a sentinel will guard and patrol before the hearts door, preserving it from the intrusion of fear and doubts.

That is to say, the decision God would have us make will be surrounded with absolute peace.

Colossians 3:15 read from the Good News Translation, throws a greater light on this:

“The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful.”

So again we see that when it comes to following our hearts desires, the Spirit of God also floods those godly desires with absolute peace. The kind that passes human understandings. By going ahead to do those things, we’ll discover we have actually done the will of God for our lives at that moment.

This is the primary way God leads us in the New Covenant which is today, He puts His desires within our hearts, surrounding it with peace, enabling us both to WILL and DO of His good pleasure.

Other ways He can do this is by using other believers to confirm the deep desires he has already placed within our hearts backed up by total peace. That means you should discard whatever anyone said God said you should do that you completely have no peace about.

So is there a decision you have to make today and you are trusting God for His leading, it’s time you check your heart for those godly desires (and trust your heart cos it’s brand new) and go with the one you have the most peace about.

That is the Spirit of God leading you in God’s directions for you to do His will.

Glory to God!

We are not confused, we walk in His directions. Today and always! Glory to God!

logical arguments here

the baseline here is on the usage of the AC. especially the set temperature. if well used, it really is bliss but abuse it and your health definitely pays the price.

A weak father who raised weak children. A low self esteem father who raised low self esteem children. A drug addiction father who raised drug addiction children. A sexual molester who raised emotionally molested children.

We are fractions of our fathers and our seeds are products of our deeds. Your children are often a reflection of your life lived. If a father eats a sour grape, the teeth of his children are set on edge; a mystery.

A true father softens the ground of life for his children by living a righteous life while he deals with his own foundation.

When God talked about godly seeds, he was referring to children without the rope of foundational sins hanging on their neck. It was the desire of God to raise children from parents who are righteous.
