This might just be the answer to THAT inner question you've been asking.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
If you grew up in an environment where people didn't rise or do great things at an early age, there is the tendency to think you're still in preparation stage when you should already be manifesting. Could it be the reason you frown at/resent young people doing great things - not knowing the things they are doing are actually normal for their age!

Pictures bring back memories - memories we hopefully want to relive. However, a painful picture to look at and relive is the image of the person you could have become - but never did! Few things come close - just ask someone who know this pain all to well. Today, as you watch this, I hope it acts as wind under your wings to propel you to playing your part in become all you can be. I don't want to see that picture of what I could have been - neither do you! Let's put in the work and pay the price of becoming because, IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE TO BEHOLD! And if you're already on the path, here is my encouragement for you to keep going!

No.2: DECEPTION IS WRONG.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
"Deception is telling somebody that I am two persons - who you believe I am and who I really am. The goal of deception is to hide the real person - who is negative. If not, there would be no need to hide that person and by extension, no need for a second person. Teaching our sons to be authentic is not just a laudable virtue, it is the foundation of honesty.

Today on , we encourage dads to let their children know they love them.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
, never let a day go by without letting your children you love them.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Here are two ways you can do this:
1. By loving their mum: When your children know you love their mum (your wife) it naturally rubs off on them. A direct way of doing This is to tell your wife, "Thank you for blessing me with this lovely child (or children, if you have more than one). When you do this, let your child (or children) be present. Let them hear it. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
2. Telling your children you love them intentionally - not as a recitation of three empty words but with conviction and commitment. Dad, your voice is powerful and when your children hear it everyday, it adds up within them and becomes a force that not only builds self worth (knowing you are loved builds self worth), but also keeps them from going to look for love in all the wrong places.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Our choices shape our lives.
Our choices shape the lives of those we love and those who love us.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
When it comes to fathering, the only way to hit the mark is to be intentional about it.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
To be intentional is to be ; being deliberate about everything we do knowing it has a preplanned outcome.

WEEKLY BRIEFING FOR FATHER:
April Week #1: GOD'S GOOD HAND UPON FATHERS

"...and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king’s forest, so that he will give me timber to construct beams for the gates of the fortress which is by the temple, and for the city wall and for the house which I will occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.
NEHEMIAH 2:8 AMP
http://bible.com/1588/neh.2.8.AMP

The scenario in the verse above is reminiscent of the life of every man, every father and Infact every person. A situation where we have goals and targets to meet but all is hinged on us getting permission from someone in higher authority. It could be submitting a proposal for a business deal; getting funding for project or bargaining an acquisition. The list can go on and on regarding the things that we need the permission of someone in higher authority in other to get it done.

Nehemiah was in such a position but this is what happened in his case: The king granted him all he asked because THE GOOD HAND OF HIS GOD WAS UPON HIM.

This made all the difference.

Today I encourage fathers to start each day knowing that the good hand of the Lord is upon them. All through the book of Nehemiah, one theme is evident: Nehemiah was a man given to prayer and seeking the face of God. Besides what Nehemiah was doing pleased God so it was inevitable that he would enjoy the good hand of God.

God will always help a man who does things that please him. Providing for your family pleases Him. Embarking on projects that wil enhance the lives of people pleases him. A selfless heart (as in the case of Nehemiah) pleases Him. Such people will enjoy the good hand of God.

Finally, when the good hand of God is upon a father, by extension, every one in his household benefits from it.

Every father will testify and agree with me that a life of favor is more desirable than a life of labour. The good hand of the Lord makes your life favorable. When obstacles of life come, you will always overcome. Better is the man who lives his life enjoying the good hand of God

PRAYER:
"Lord, let your good hand be upon me as it was with Nehemiah so that I may find favor in all I do to the glory of Your name. Amen."

and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king’s forest, so that he will give me timber to construct beams for the gates of the fortress which is by the temple, and for the city wall and for the house which I will occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God…
