RELATIONSHIP
Note that relationships are connecting links... You connect to either Give or Receive via your relationships. So, be careful whom you connect with, because you could be receiving negative energies from BAD Relationships or giving out your GOOD energies to relationships that don't value your positivity.
My main message is: who are your husband's/wife's and children's friends? These relationships which they're connected to could affect their lives and the Spiritual Health of your Family.
As a parent you would have failed in your duties if you can't identify your child/children's friends and also know who these kids are, and what kind of family they really come from.
Our societies are already littered with lots of bad eggs and most of these miscreants come from reputable homes, the only error here was just the idea of parents ignoring who their kids entered into relationships with.
Ungodly friends with only the agenda of Satan, setting homes into auto-drive and helping them self destruct.
Fathers are becoming too busy to see character changes and traits in their kids that don't define the philosophy of their homes. Infact these days homes don't have philosophies anymore that defines them, they live their lives on the terms of 'whatever comes we flow with it' mentality...
Mother's are now preoccupied with too many unnecessary activities that seem important, but in the real sense the devil use most of these activities to keep them away from their spiritual duties and from their kids so he could effectively destroy their destinies in one clean swipe. Now TV novellas and TV series have been well designed and equipped to be addictive and with this tool on hand the devil sets his agenda in motion without mother's sensing that they're home keepers and not just another arm of provider or homemakers.
Social media is also keeping mom's away from their kids.
Now if the Gatekeeper is asleep and the Home keeper is carried away with other activities, then what will become of the sheep?
What will be the fate of the children?
Churches these days have also negatively contributed and compounded on the collapsing situation.
The Church that should serve as a rehabilitating center and a place where negativity should be identified and corrected, now helps hide and code evil from members. The modern day Church feeds the sin-bound members mind with all sorts of junks using scripture to water it down into their gullible minds, even these members are already seeking an easy way to Christianity. The old-time Gospel is too harsh and rugged, it doesn't suit the today's Christian, so he seeks it easy... so far his/her god remains in the business of blessing him/her.
This post isn't for the today's African/Nigerian Church, but rather for the Family.
Parents, check yourselves and evaluate yourselves if you are failing in your duties or you are already a failure as parent?
The question is; where did that kid learn to sing all the vulgar songs from? Where did that kid learn to dance so sensual from? Where did that kid learn to speak so ill mannered from, using the F word so frequently from? Where did that kid learn to make love from? Where did that kid learn to send fraudulent messages from? Where did that kid learn to send his/her nude pictures from? Where did that kid learn to tell lies so much from? Where did that kid learn to hate and be violent from? Where did that kid learn to love money and fame so much from? Where did that kid learn to be so disrespectful from?
Where did that kid learn those things you see now from?
All of these happened under your watch as a parent and you failed to see and discern because you were preoccupied by the devil... You failed to know the relationships your children were keeping.
Homes are cracking up today due to fathers fail to know their wife's friends, mother's fail to know the friends their husband's are keeping.
Know these relationships and also learn to tackle them with prayers.
A prayerless home is a powerless home...
Father's are no more Gatekeepers, father's are no more prayer warriors, fighting and safeguarding their homes spiritually, not giving god of men(men of god) mandates to do the praying for you.
Mother's are no longer praying mother's, keeping a close watch of their homes and making sure it is intact most especially spiritually, and this is only done in the place of prayer.
Homes are no longer sanctuaries, a place where God finds pleasure to remain in and fellowship with.
Most homes have become too busy and highly upgraded (21st century compliant), GOD is not resident their, but God is pasted all around them.
I'm here to beg you to stop and trace your steps back to the one who can correct that mistake and error. He is the manufacturer and He knows how to factory reset that situation, why not seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then see how every other thing fall into place seamlessly.
Seek God now when you can actually find Him, very soon you might find it difficult to find Him.
I pray these words awakens something within you that will shift your heart position to where God awaits you to come back to Him.
MARANATHA!!!
Pastor Chidi OHANUM.
