Morning Assembly with The Principal Every Monday 8.am
(Priest, Principal & Manager)
How to earn the recommendations of your Lord/master ( Parents, Instructors, Boss, Husband and the Conscience of your society).
2 Timothy 2:15b&c KJV
"Study to show yourself approved unto God, _*a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"*_
1. Do not be ashamed of being a subject. ( Do not be uncomfortable or do not have painful feeling due to your position or status). Be grateful you are a child, a learner, a subject, the wife.
A. Be readily available for errands and services. And be willing and able to be used. It is in being used that you become useful.
2. Know your duties prescribed to you by your society. Deut. 5:16, Eph. 6:1
A. Clean the environment.
B. Wash the clothes.
C. Cook the food
D. Give Support: Financially, materially and emotionally
3. Rightly and correctly do the needful satisfactorily.
1. Show constructive dependence on your Lord/master (seek his blessings, with faith). Eph. 5:22, Heb. 13:17
YOU CANNOT BLESS YOUR LORD/MASTER. On the least you give him your due, offering, gifts, support, assistance. Then he will in turn bless you.
Intentionally have him/her pray for you: for learning & exam success, promotions, contract, expectations, for favour.
Every Lord/master is spiritual.
Just like the Priest, sacrifices, offering could be made to and through them or him.
When you make such offerings, intentionally have your Lord/master make some declarations and proclamations. Make it habitual. Let it be a ritual.
The Providence I have experienced so far, I am convinced is largely laced on this principle.
I did it without knowing about this principle, though. I did it just to show my gratefulness to my parents.
I remembered selling cooked _Okpa_ for my mother in the school and /or after coming back from the school, from my Primary School to my Secondary School.
I remembered sustaining my mother' _Okpo_ business for months after she had major sugary in her eyes.
I remembered how I'd never allow my mother to be depressed. I'd fell trees and chop them into desirable pieces for making fire.
I remembered how I would gather my parents clothes and wash and assemble them afterwards when they had dried and fold them.
I remembered how I'd immediately head to the kitchen, upon coming back home whether from the city or not, just to make sumptuous food for my parents, in case there was no cooked food available.
I remembered cooking special fresh tomatoes stews and egusi soup each time I traveled home at the end of the every semester. This ritual I have maintained till now.
I remembered how, upon my arrival, I would immediately take up the sanitation of the house and compound.
For each of those services my parents in turn declared and proclaimed blessings out of their spirit on me and my future. They decreed I must marry a good wife, now I have that blessing. They decreed my children will reward me in multiple folds all my deeds towards them. The decreed I'd be excellent in all I do. They decreed that those I lead would be willing to make me succeed and love me and cherish me, these has followed me all through my life till now. And all of you can attest to that.
ONE THING YOU MUST AIM AT IS TO EARN YOUR LORD'S/MASTER'S LOVE AND RECOMMENDATION. BECAUSE, IT IS YOUR LORD/MASTER THAT RECOMMENDS YOU TO THE THE LORD FOR ONWARD BLESSING. HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS, IS BY BEING GRATEFUL FOR YOUR POSITION, KNOW YOUR EXPECTED ROLES AND RIGHTLY CORRECTLY AND SATISFACTORILY FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATIONS.
Points made earlier in This Series "ONE THING YOU MUST AIM AT"
2 Timothy 2:15
1. Make consisted and deliberate effort to earn the respect, recommendation and commendation of:
A. Your Master/Lord: Your husband, Your Parents, Your Boss, Your Instructor.
B. Your Family including the Conscience and value system of the tradition and culture of your society.
2. NOTE: Eventually in the end, you may find out that there is no God, outside your Husband, Your Parents, Your Boss/Master. Therefore chasing God at the expense of the desirable needs of your: Parents, instructors, Boss, Husband and the conscience of your society, may eventually turned out to be chasing after the wind that will only result in regret and destruction.
3. Except you win your parents', Tutors', Boss's and Husband's recommendation, you may not win God's Approval.
4. The reason is because, it is your superior that will recommend you to God for onward blessing.
NEXT MORNING ASSEMBLY WITH THE PRINCIPAL, WE SHALL TEACH HOW TO SUSTAIN THE LOYALTY OF YOUR SUBJECT: ONE THING EVERY LORD/MASTER MUST AIM AT.
