MY SECRET POWER IS


The best book to read is the Bible. It's powerful to heal and restore your life to be a great person



The best book to read is the Bible. It's powerful to heal and restore your life to be a great person

.
During my youthful days, among friends, we used to cause laughter and make a lot of jokes. One of them is No one drinks medicine on behalf of a sick person.” In other words, happiness is your mind, soul, and body. 

If you want someone to make you happy, then you will be disappointed. And the best way to maintain this happiness is to be you, content with whatever you have, and avoid stealing and greed.


My secret superpower, which kept me moving and made me endure most of the trials and tribulations, was the Bible. The Bible is one of the best books to read; unfortunately, many still dont know the value of the book.

We used to create our own toys. Our parents were not rich, but they never chased after money. The pride of our parents seeing us around them motivated and inspired us to obey them.

Today, I am happily married and very soon we shall celebrate our silver jubilee of marriage. I am a father of three handsome sons and a grandfather. 

Without the Bible and the love of my parents, I wouldnt have reached this far. I thank God for his blessings.

PARENTS, LET YOUR EYES BE ON YOUR CHILDREN


Children often become victims of abuse

Children often become victims of abuse


Give them an inch, they take a yard; give them a yard, they take a mile; that’s how the world goes from bad to worse daily without any solution. 

.
There is no doubt, we are now living in a very dangerous world which demands, ‘What are we living for when the world is not getting any better, and how often do we speak to our children about those threatening dangers?

As a father with three children, nothing scares me more than the future of my children, especially my third son, who is just seven. Europe is a good place, in regard to education, but very bad for moral issues. 

Here, the law permits a child to have a boyfriend or girlfriend at the age of sixteen. A child begins to smoke while at school. Such things do not exist in Africa.

I feel bad sometimes because I don’t have a daughter. However, I feel okay with three boys because it is very difficult to raise a girl in Europe as an African. Consumed by Western life, nothing keeps them sober or obedient. 

I know many Africans who can’t handle the outrageous behavior of their daughters, sometimes ending up at the police and the social offices.

Violence, crime, and immorality are some of the disturbing issues parents are concerned about. In the neighborhood lurks a pedophile trying to harm your children. 

The news we read about the crimes adults, especially men, commit against children immediately awakens our consciousness that the world is probably gradually coming to an end because the prophecies in the Bible are taking place one after another.

The European Commission showed a 77 percent increase in murders, robberies, assaults, and sexual offenses in the UK since Labour came to power. 

The total number of violent offenses recorded compared to the population is higher than in any other country in Europe, as well as in America, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. This is the information I gathered during my study of crime in Europe recently.


Little Joe


Little Joe



Parents are the greatest influence on their children. Children learn to talk, walk, and interact by watching their parents. As a child grows up, he or she looks to the parents to provide guidance, information, nurturing, and expectations. 

I once went on the internet, showing the death of many children to Little Joe, my son. After watching in bewilderment, he asked, “Papa, what happened to them?”

“Adults they trusted killed them,” I answered.

“Thank you, Papa, I would be careful.’ He said. Whether I did a wrong thing or not, that doesn’t bother me; all that I want him to understand is the dangers in this world, especially on the computer, for him to be careful.
