Letter to My Daughter 4

 




My Dear Daughter,

 

It’s over a year I last wrote you a letter. This would be my fourth published letter to you. You are growing so well. Your mum and I are so glad of your development. More importantly, the love of God in you is also growing as well. We lived in a world where girls do face a lot and lot of challenges no doubt, so your mum and I will do our very best to train you up in the right way you should go and when you grow old, you wouldn’t depart from it.

 

I want you to learn from our mistakes and avoid them. I want you surpass our achievements in life, go higher than the loft heights we have reached. They say experience is the best teachers but I say instructions is the best teacher. You don’t have to experience the mistakes we did just for you to learn a lesson. That is why I’m writing you a letter.

 

Life will never be hard for an obedient child. After honouring and obeying God, your parents are your next to be honoured and obeyed. Obedience to parents is related your longevity in life. A child that refuses to listen his/her parents is ready will be like a dog destined to be lost, it does not hear the hunter's whistle.

Every instruction we give you are also for your wellbeing. No one makes in life without following instructions. A person that doesn’t follow instructions is deemed to fall into destruction. Babygirl, do not despise godly instructions.

 

I have disobeyed certain instructions and it was costly for me. It’s not easy no doubt but you got to be disciplined enough to follow certain rules. My fourth letter to you could be summarized in one sentence; Do not despise instructions.

Life would come with its own attractions but do remember not all that glitters is gold, don’t be in a haste to follow trends or try to stay woke (that is the new word). Rather, always be true to God and to yourself.

 

I will end my letter with these words from the great apostle of God, Apostle Paul who said in his first writings to the Church in Corinthians; “All things are permissible but not all things are beneficial”

 

Do have a great time fulling purpose daughter. I love you.

 

Your lovely Dad.

Verse 1 I want to  to live lord in the world of your Glory I want to live lord in the place where you are To stay away from the pressures & cares of this life. To stay away Lord from the ways of the world. (2*) Chorus I want to live oh Lord just right where you are. I want to stay oh Lord in your resting place Lead me away from things that keep me from you Separate me from the things Lord that hinders me.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
