Welcome to the second half of the year...

Wait a moment! we are already 10 days in🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

That's how time flies. We planned so many new things in the 2nd half of 2021 we haven't even touched. You are not a failure!

In the seven habits of highly effective people, the 3rd habit is First things first - To live a more balanced existence, you have to recognize that not doing everything that comes along is okay. There’s no need to overextend yourself. All it takes is realizing that it’s all right to say no when necessary and then focus on your highest priorities🏁 (franklincovey.com).

Don't exert yourself on a diet plan, eat less and exercise more.
Worry less, Pray more.
Spend less, save more.
Sit less, walk more.

Build a routine around things you like doing.

Excellence does not come by invention, its doing the simple things consistently.

Have a productive 2nd half 2021

John 10:11, 'I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the ship. Whao! Jesus was confident to say, I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD because he paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Can you say, 'I am a good father?'

No one is dying today...lol. 😀😀😀

Its a reflection of how far we can go for our family to guide and protect them. I remember how my Dad will drop us off at school before going to work, then come back to pick us up before returning back to the office. At a point, he took up a job out of town to provide for us. I don't take those sacrifice for granted because it easily flows from me to my kids. Nothing is too impossible to do for them.
A Pastor, who was an Executive Director with a Financial institution once said, 'I am ready to drive a cab to take care of my family if it is required' His ego, career, or people's expectation was not going to get in the way of him doing right by his family.

YOUR SACRIFICE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!

John 5:17, But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.

There is something about God and Work. In Genesis, Bible said, "God rested from His work" and right here, Jesus makes it clear that the Father IS STILL WORKING.

God is still working!

Fathers work. The Principle of Jesus is if I work, you will do greater works. If you work, your children will do greater works. A family can never grow beyond the knowledge of the father. It is where you stop, that your children will start from.

Don't stop developing yourself. If you refuse to aim high, your children will have to begin from there. Everything you do is becoming a genetic makeup that is transferred to your generation.

Don't let bad habits move to the next generation!
Don't transfer a mediocre mindset to your next line!
Don't entertain a failure mentality!.

Remember when Abraham lied about Sarah to Abimelech?, it didn't take too long for Isaac to repeat the same lie.

Be intentional about your life and what you do. Your children will receive the right capacity to grow.

My Dad always spoke to us about all his family established everywhere in the world and it came to pass!.

YOUR WORK WILL SHAPE YOUR GENERATION!!!

Luk 15: 20 -So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

What love the father had for his lost son!.❤️

Jesus taught us how fathers never give up on their own.

What can your child do that will make you abandon him?
Is it possible to walk away from your own?

Its not only Mothers that have the ability to hope for the best in their children, Fathers too can! Let's stop celebrating only the successes of our children, embrace them when it hurts the most.

A father keeps looking until he finds the gold in their child's life. Keep pushing,
keep digging,
keep searching
and keep looking until we find that one thing that unlocks the potential within them. Your child is a quiver in your hand and you will strike gold with it!

HE STILL LOVES THE PRODIGAL!
