Good Family Building , bedrock for a successful Nation Building

Family is a group consisting of two parents and their children living together as a unit, or simply put; all the descendants of a common ancestor.

Family could be said to be genealogically connected, that's why a child could be said to be acting like his/her father or mother or even traced to behaving like a great long-gone grand father. Forget not that the parent too were ushered to this world by a father and mother. What are the qualities that this our fathers and mothers left behind for us that is worth well-behaving in the society? Were they liar? No wonder we also do lie, then someday we find ourselves in the position of power, and the lie syndrome continues to manifest.


A Family

By nature, we are all from a gene of sinner, remember the first beings, and in the word sinner; you'll find corruption, greed, etc, but that was in the old being, as our book of life said: ''If any man/woman be in Christ, he/she is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold; all things are become new.'' This is the main purpose of the God in-form of flesh to redeem mankind from the old nature of corruption, through the price paid in the New Testament, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

How the two works

The devil (The old nature) still remains in mankind, that Jesus paid the price and died for us, was/a reality achievable for as many as would be able to switch to Jesus' when temptation arises, or preferably; you may still choose to glorify the devil. The devil as we all think is not like that image of a person in all-black clothes with horns, mind you that he (devil) was subtle with Eve (first woman/mother), in other to achieve is goal, so; he could come in any form.

Every opportunity to steal, lie and all sorts is a decision by the one who owns the psyche, the ability to suppress the old nature ''sin'' would see the new man ''Jesus'' gave us since 2000 years ago been glorified, and the Adamic nature put down.

So, it's like a switch button, you decide which direction the switch would go via every decision of yours. This must be told every family, especially we the very 21st generation.

Failure to switch on the right button at every point before we take action, is equal to individual failure, family failure, community, state and nation failure. The family is the foundation for a successful nation Building, what kind of upbringing are you inculcating into our next generation in your hands/home? Remember they will be governors, commissioner, senators, presidents etc in the future, how would they manage the position, would they be worse or better?

Another opportunity we have is now! It's weekend again, where will you be, who'll you be with, what activity(ies) will you engage in? Monday till now, has been for works, distance from the family, the posterity generation, please spend this weekend with your family. Be the change you want to see to yourself and family, make it a step closer this weekend.

God bless you, and your family, God bless the Federal republic of Nigeria.
