KEY VERSE:  He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:13 (NKJV)

Carvin Coolidge said “I have studied that nothing I have said ever did me any harm” Do you know that some of the words spoken either by us or someone else has placed you where you are today? One key to longevity is long life (Proverbs 13.3) So proper use of your mouth will preserve your life.

Bishop Idahosa of blessed memory preached “Use your mouth to promote your life” Yes, that is one purpose and designed for the tongue

KEY VERSE: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…” Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV)

Proverbs 22:29 reads “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men” A truly competent work will forever be rewarded. The Bible says they will dine with kings; they will rule over the incompetent workers.

The way you start and finish a job tells a lot about your personality. Let your first impression count. Be at your best in all that you do. Let people remember you for your commitment to a task.

KEY VERSE: Our enemies have no reason to gloat over us. We have fallen, but we will rise again. We are in darkness now, but the Lord will give us light (Micah 7:8 GNT)

Learn to persevere no matter the number of years it may take to get results, for every delay buys us an equal amount of time. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr; ‘We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.

This short phrase ‘Press on’ should be my mindset whenever I fall. Consider the postage stamp; it has the ability to stick to an envelope until it gets to its destination. This should be your attitude.

KEY VERSE: But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods. Daniel 1:8 (NLT)

Having an appearance is all about you creating a style, acting in a way typical of you and coming out of the crowd. Trying to be like others not only make you look fake, but it also hides your abilities.

Culled from my Book "Lose yourself into immortality" Available on Amazon Kindle

In the book of Psalm 82:6, The Bible reminded us that we are gods. If you are a god, then you must not die like a mortal man. Live like the god that you are, rise up and take charge of whatever GOD has put in you. No matter where this podcast meets you, it is time to take charge. Rick Godwin in his book “live full – die Empty” wrote “live to your full potential and when you die, die empty”. This is the first of the series on losing yourself into immortality. It is an extract from the book "Lose Yourself into Immortality" Available on Amazon Kindle and Paperback.

As fathers, lets reaffirm the words of Joshua “.. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord5 we are more than just a provider, we are the spiritual leaders of our home. Man up and take your place.

To learn more about being a father visit my blog

According to Wikipedia a father is the male parent of a child; and a  parent is a ‘source’ or ‘origin’ of a smaller part. While in Ephesians  3:14-15 a father is a progenitor. In other words, a father gives  identity to another human being which is the reason while in most  countries, children bear the same last name as their fathers.

Besides, it must be noted that family begins with a father and a  mother. Fathers are a vital element in a family and has been positioned  by God to play a very important role in a child’s life and to the  society.

A father  is  not just a sperm donor, he also plays the role of a Dad, which means he  has to be present in the lives of the child physically, financially,  morally, emotionally and spiritually.

Fathers, and fathers to be need to understand that paying child’s  support is not enough or make you a father, a father has to be actively  involve in the life of his children.

Fatherhood is a ministry. As a father you are called to be a minister  to your children and to your wife. A father is the first teacher,  friend and role model the child sees. In our next episodes we shall be  digging deep into these components that makes a father.

But I want you to know that no other success can make for being a  failure as a father. Every child deserves the love of a father and when  given can make a lot of difference in a child’s life.

Today in our society, ‘boys’ are becoming fathers and ‘babies’ are  becoming fathers without having an understanding of what it takes to be a  father. Some of the ‘fathers’ in this category never had a father  figure in their lives and therefore struggle to be a father figure to  their innocent offspring. This blog was designed to help all needing a  father figure in their lives and to teach how to be a good, awesome  father.

Do you know that the absent of a father in a child’s live can greatly  affect the child? The failures of fathers can be clearly seen in out  society and around the world because of lack of father figures missing  in homes. To fix our society, we have to address the issue of absent  fathers, and teach young men to be fathers. We shall be expounding on  what it takes to be a father in other posts.

Do you also know that an unstable father and one that lacks the  knowledge of what it means to be a father will results in family  instability and the results can be seen in a society where crime and  violence prevail. Dr. Myles Munroe said “the number one crisis on earth is that male is lacking fatherhood”

In conclusion, the quality of a tress is determined by its roots. In  same way the quality and strength of a family is determined by the  father. Fathers are pivotal to the stability of the family and to the  society at large. Visit my blog
