Character in sons and daughters.
**Children bring honor to their family by their obedience in the community.**
The family is a God created institution. In the family, children learn principles and personality skill by which they live in the society. It is also in the family that children develop their characters. It is important, therefore, that father and mother take special care in teaching their children relationship and behavior skills that are based on sound moral and ethnical principles.
Being an orphan may at first present some challenges as to how one can be the best father or he or she can be . However by learning the principles of God that relate to being a good parent,anyone can successfully apply these principles for building a good family.
A. Honour your parents.
***It is one of the commandments God gave with gifts . Children must respect their parent for who they are . Rebellious children brings shame upon the name of the family. Those who don't honour their parent wouldn't be well on earth.***
B. Be attentive and submissive.
***Young people who are obedient to their parents manifest a spirit of submission. One cannot be faithful to God and the same time be disobedient to his or parents.***
C. Develop faith in God .
***All that we know about the early childhood of Jesus is mentioned by Luke when he recorded an incident that happened in Jesus live when he was about twelve years old.***
***Young people should desire to be among those who seek yo serve God in the community.***
D. Have a humble spirit.
***Humility is recognizing that one never has all the answers for every situation in life . It is developing one's life around others and God , rather than one's self. Great men realize their weakness, and then compensate for their weakness by relying on the counsel of others.***
The beauty of humility is in the fact that others are drawn to humble people . We seek to be in the presence of the humble. Humble parents produce an environment in home where the minds of children are opened for instructions.
When one grows into adulthood, he or she should not lose the spirit of humility. The reason for this is that one who is proud and arrogant will never accept the instructions of others simply because he or she has never learned how to submit to the will of others.
When still in the and under the direction of their parents. When they come to the age of making their own decisions, they should carefully follow the counsel of their parents . Following the counsel of our parents shows that we seek to do right. It shows that we continually respect our parents.
Dignity .
Introduction.
Dignity in character.
When I talk about dignity it refer to the development of our character in a manner that results in being respected by others. It refers to ways and manners we conduct our selves in our relationship with other people.
Dignity in our hearts.
Dignity begins in one's heart. In order to conduct oneself with sincere dignity, we must begin with our inner beliefs . True dignity is the manifestation of integrity in one's heart.
Bible reference on dignity.
***Genesis 49:3***
***Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:***
***Esther 6:3***
***And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.***
***Ecclesiastes 10:6***
***Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.***
Body.
As a citizen of a community , wee must conduct our selves with honesty, diligence and integrity. These are qualities are manifested through speech and behavior . All these qualities refer to the dignity of a person . It should be your goal, therefore to focus your life around these qualities so that you can develop your character.
It would be the challenge of every person to skills for developing a dignified life of integrity. In accepting this challenge, we must focus on specific characteristics to our lives, we will be the type of person our neighbors want us to be.
The general principle of maintaining a dignified relationship with one's fellow citizen is **all things whatever you want men to do to you , even do also to them.**
Conclusion.
One must always preserve their dignity if it means to suffer for it . It the best gift ever.
In the perilious times.
The perilious time would just has Jesus had said . This when the world would be full of wars,poverty, diseases, hatred, expansion of knowledge (inventions of dangerous materials).
***Bible reference on it .***
**2 Peter 1:16**
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
John 1:29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Mark 14:62
And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Matthew 26:64
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
2 Thessalonians 2:1
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.
Revelation 5:1-10 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
The coming of Jesus.
I tell you don't let any one fool that Jesus wouldn't come back all what is written that would happen is Happening I beseech you that you flush out those evil thoughts and follow the Jesus leading.
Be a humble and love like christ.
As christ continues to be God no man can be able to be like him . Paul in words usually say that we should try act like christ in the church and in the community cause christ never troubles he reflects the love of God to humanity.
Introduction.
How would be if you had a child and give him to die of sin which you nor your family commited it would be a decision one would regret but God gave his sinless son to the world full of hatred to redeem them of their sins. John 3:16;for God so loved the world that he gave his only son that who soever believe in him should not perish but everlasting life.**Romans 8:35;**
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Humility.
Humbleness is not a day job to be humble mean to think him as a mere sand that one would die. How would it be if you leave a palace and go to slum to reside there but Jesus never looked at this world as a but rather a place of the his residing love ones.Colossians 2:18
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.Luke 14:11.
Matthew 23:12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Proverbs 22:4
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
1 Peter 5:5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.Proverbs 18:12
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.2 Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.2 Corinthians 5:14
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
Acts 20:19
Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews.
Proverbs 18:12
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.2 Corinthians 5:14.
The love of Christ .
There is no greater lover than the love of Christ I tell you everyone just try to portray his love as Christian we are expected to do that.
Romans 8:39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. .
Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen
Gifts of the holy spirit.
Introduction.
There are no other subjects as pertinent to the world scene today as the operation of spiritual gifts in the body of Christ. The gift of the spirit are the weapon of our warfare and destroy every force the devil might use against the body of Christ.
Nature and role of the holy Spirit.
To accurately study the work of the holy Spirit, we must begin with the book of genesis, the first book of the Bible. 1corinthians 12:1-11 includes a list of the works of the holy spirit, which are the gifts of the spirit.
Omnipotence of the spirit.
When we think of the functioning of the holy Spirit in the creation of the world,we think of the omnipotence. The holy Spirit was omnipotent or all-powerful. Out of chaos that existed in the beginning he brought cosmos. God spoke, and his word had to be obeyed ! The spirit of God moved upon the desolation, and there came forth that which is beautiful for God and for man.
Omnipresence of the spirit.
In his creative powers the holy Spirit is omnipotent, his universalisty he is omnipresent. Psalm 139:7 ;. Here David was saying to God , where could I go to escape the presence of your spirit???. It is a question that kept bothering my mind . It is absolutely impossible to flee the almighty God. Perhaps you found that to be true when you are running from your convictions. God "dogged "you until he got you and he would continue to do that.
Holy spirit reveals things to come .
The holy Spirit spirit is our guide into all truth, the revealer of the future. The holy Spirit is living in his own dispensation of promise,and the dispensation of law. We are now living in the dispensation of the grace of the holy Spirit; and while living in his own dispensation with him , we can expect his movements to be greater than ever before.
Able ministers .
I believe that anything that has been given to us was given by God to share to others. God doesn't dig holes and Bury things . He is not a cover up man ; that is that devil's business. God is a revealer, a revealer of the interior working of human beings.
Conclusion.
I encouraged you to become a sharer and to share everything you have gotten from the holy Spirit just like when one receive the power of the holy ghost one must prophesy good into one neighborhood.
This great message of the gifts of the holy spirit is something that should be shared. Tha is the purpose of this writing.
Special thanks.
I specially give thanks to God for what he has done in my life and also thank @MarcDeMesel for the establishment of read cash where I could be able to publish article God bless you.
Identifying the devil.
The invisible fight.
how do you fight an enemy you cannot see? How much more difficult is it to fight an enemy who can see you when you are not aware of them? Read the article to the end for more information.
Understanding the scheme of the enemy.
Many christians are simply unaware of the devil and his ways. Some ministers are simply unaware of the tricks of the devil. Other think the devil is working in a way he is not.
There are people who think that the devil lives in Africa. They say this because they don't understand the strategies or scheme of Satan . They feel that wars, poverty backwardness are sure signs of the presence of the the devil.
1) Satan's principal strategy is to deceive the world and lead them unknowingly into hell:
This what made me believe that the accusations adopted that Satan lives among the black is false because today in Europe, america and many other continent Africans are the one who fills the church.
2) Satan has his seat in a place where people don't believe in God:
How comforting that must be for Satan! Place where no one believes in God is a place where he calls home . A home is where you lie down and rest.
3) the Bible calls Satan the father of lies:
And the old serpent which decieve the whole world ( john 8:44; revelations 12:9).
4) the word of God warns ministers to be careful of the Wiles of the devil:
Put on the whole armour of God ,that ye may be to stand against the Wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). The word "Wiles " comes from the Greek word methodeias . It speaks of different means, plans and schemes that are used by the devil.
5) many christians cannot see satan working through the spirit of disloyalty:
If you make the mistake of thinking that Satan is where he is not, you will be destroyed.if your is beside you and you cannot see him , you are but a dead man ! More churches are destroyed by the work of disloyalty and it ramifications than anything else I know!.
*The problem of evil.*
If God is absolutely good, then why is there evil? The problem of evil is a serious challenge to the defense of Christianity actually there are many problem relating to evil for example it's origin, nature, purposes and availability. The problems of evil can be divided among moral, metaphysical,and physical.
*Origin of evil.*
Where did evil come from? An absolute good God cannot create evil. Not would it seem can a perfect creature give rise to imperfection.whence, then evil? The problem can be summarised.
*God is absolutely perfect.
*God cannot create anything imperfect.
*But perfect creature can't do evil.
*Therefore neither God nor his perfect creature can produce evil.
But according to my gathered information I found out something that made me think about the origin of evil.
*God Is absolutely perfect .
*He created only perfect creatures.
*One the perfection God gave his creature is power of free choice.
*Some of them choose to be evil.
*Therefore perfect creature caused evil.
Before I end my article I would like to throw some questions.
1) *who is the devil:*
Originally the devil was named Lucifer , one the angels of God . He fell because of his pride.
*2)how does the devil carry his work:*
First he oppose the will and work of God. Second he tries to destroy all that Is good.
**Conclusion.**
*Beware evils are in this perverse generation be watchful and vigilant cause the devil is a roaring lion seeking whom to devour.*

The Titan marches on.
Every society is the creation of inputs and supplies of human beings. This has been so since time immemorial, even before the creation of Adam and Eve.
Significantly how an environment looks like a by-product of all round activities of the leaders and followers. By implications, for society to witness growth and development that would satisfy the yearnings and aspirations of all and sundry, there must be unrepentant commitment to dynamism.
Our holy books attest to avowed commitment of some of the leading lights of era. We read the contributions of so many immediate and remote environment with corresponding backings of subordinates. Joshua in his days exemplified trustworthiness, honesty, dignified behaviors that commanded respect and affection from his creator and his name remained inedible in the mind of his people, even would remain evergreen and reference point for many years to come.
As corollary you that, our contemporary history is replete with great men. Here Nelson Mandela readily comes to mind . His contribution to emancipation of people from the gulags of the oppressors in South Africa cannot be wished away. Chairman Mao if China and his evergreen postulation that flows from the barrels of fun cannot be thrown away from the dustbin of history.
Thomas Sankara in his days believed that without a dignified environment there cannot be an appreciable progress. He conceptualized Burkina fasso as the land of the people of dignity. Benjamin Franklin as a philosopher conceptualized an ideal workable Constitution for God's own country, today it is in the almighty they repose their trust in the USA. These are Titans, without their visions and missions; the progress made still being recorded by their respective societies are there for every body to see.
@club1bch community it is a institution and community of great minds with immerse intellectualism. Without any deceit, under the visionary leadership of @PVMihalache steady progress is being recorded in all facets of life. I don't really know the problem is facing but I believe is a Titan after all he as done kudos to him.
Nonetheless, while some people where may be struggling to reach out to the Mars for the possibilities of extending man's influence to it. Our own effort are for now directed at the grassroots to get children become stronger and motivated.this yielding positive results , the population of strong people are great increasing on a daily basis.
There is that tendency to continue this analytical discourse for reasons of space and time, the germane of it is that I pray that the citadel of our shall continue to be blessed and remain blessed till kingdom comes.
Example of Titan on readcash.
@Lucifer01 is a typical a example of a Titan that kept marching even though he faced lot of challenges he never committed a crime or commit suicide because of it he kept moving on he is good example I love to meet him for his courage, his story motivated me in writing this article https://read.cash/@Lucifer01/lucifer-why-i-choose-to-be-the-devil-211c301f.
Without mincing words, the Titan has returned and he is the March again. God his life , he has been able to keep the glory of our citadel intact . So far, the Titan is at work and like cat with nine life even when he was hurt, he never relented on activities on read cash despite everything, let give the support he needs to continue be a Titan that he his.
Special thanks.
I would love to specially thank these people for their support on my account and my former account @Lucifer01, @Oikawa , @HappyBoy, @Scotty17, @MarcDeMesel, @Ling01 , @MarielB22 , @FarmGirl Thanks alot @HappyBoy for inviting me to read cash.
My journey through read cash.
*Getting to know about readcash.*
Been through alot of shame and disgrace turned down by lot of people believing that I am made up of nothing, counting me useless.
Without doubt I believed in christ and myself that I would be better. I ignored all their bad comments and reply on me. Keep reciting a motivational poem. Even though parents don't trust me I believed in my self that I would be better. When I got asked that what was my usefulness I would speak that I would be values if I were in the right place.
I do say that every progress in life begins in the mind and it takes a right conscience to influence conscience into right things. I never allowed the bad talks to influence my mind I let out all my emotions so as to preserve my soul.
I keep say in my mind that they does who don't believe in me would be proven wrong when I become successful in life.
`On a fateful Sunday I attended a church and I got to meet #happyboy who told me abound read cash, even though I tried to do it my parents would not believe in me they would say that I am to young for those and it is not meant for lazy people even though I tried my possible best to prove them wrong it always go the other way round. I had always believed in my self and I waited for the day to prove them wrong.`
#happyboy enlightened me on what the platform is all about I knew it wouldn't be easy then I believe in myself.
#Readcash.
`After I got I message #happyboy and he sent the link this is about five month ago #adesite. I published many articles but people would rather downvotes the article. This made me feel that I am failure as people called I never knew I was preparing for my success.i got discouraged and I quitted from readcash. My parents told me that I could find myself doing something while other are getting enlightened I couldn't even achieve one like I kept thinking but i didn't asked well from #happyboy the description. 5 months passed nothing to show for it. Earlier last month a cousin of mine came to my house and told about is interest in readcash I knew this was my chance to prove my parents wrong then I decided to pay #happyboy a visit again to get more information about readcash and to know about the site rules.`
I followed the rules yet my account got destabilized my cousin kept on encouraging me I also comforted my self my write more and article but my account finally got spammed I got to open a new account .
When my account got spammed I keep thinking about those words and kept ringing in my ears and I felt sad then I decided that I would not be a failure that I don't care what people say I would be what I want to be.
My journey.
My journey on read was a really tough and not easy if I were a lazy guy I would had quit I don't want to believe that I am a failure I know one day I would have a stable account I am really waiting for the day that would be cause I believe this account would last for a long period of time I think.
Even the journey through read cash is tough I met alot of nice people like @Lucifer01, @Abhay @FarmGirl and lot of people to remember it really nice to meet this guy's they are really nice and good to me they kept encouraging me to write article and I appreciate them alot. Their article were inspiring and special thanks to @Scotty17 for the Christian articles that I read that really made me believe that I am not a failure. Really nice to being this platform I love you guys thanks for the love and thanks for supporting me.
Conclusion.
I would advice those are read this article that you don't need to care about what people say about cause the bad words people say about you would not remove a strand of hair from you. You are face alot of problem doesn't mean you wouldn't be successful. Always remember that their is always a end to every storm.
I thank for sparing me cause he has the reason why kept counting me among those that are worthy to be on earth I think that he wants me to prove my enemies wrong and believe I would do that one day.
***Special thanks to all who told beside when I was facing problem and thanks to@happyboy for inviting me to readcash God bless you all.***
