IF I NO GET MONEY FOR THIS LIFE, WETI I GAIN?
Today on A STITCHE IN TIME SAVES NINE, we will be looking at the above statement translated into NIGERIA PIDGIN ENGLISH. The above sentence is now common especially among teenagers, and is one of the PRIMARY REASON for increase In social vices like Human Trafficking, Internet fraud, Human Rituals and a whole lots of others. It's becomes more surprising when You hear children under the age of 10 saying it proudly as they work down the street. It's not wrong to be Wealthy, but the problem behind this sentence is the idea that People should do
ANYTHING TO GET MONEY WHETHER GOOD OR BAD.With that In mind People are now engaging In all manner of things to get money.
There is time for EVERY AFFAIRS UNDER THE SUN so says that Bible. In life, there is a TIME TO GET SEEDS FOR PLANTING ie decide on what to do with your life, either going to school, learning a trade or skills etc, a TIME TO PLANT ie following the part You have decide for your self like go to school, learn the skill or trade etc, a TIME TO NURTURE ie to grow and improve In the chosen part until we become proficient In the chosen field, a TIME TO REAP ie to begin to get rewards for been proficient In the chosen field, a TIME TO ENJOY ie begin to get satisfaction From the rewards of our hard work like going for vacations, buying expensive wears, houses, cars and others.
Because of the mentality already cited as the cause of the increase In social vices, People especially the youth that has not define a part for themselves, take steps In that Direction, grow In the chosen part, All of all sudden want to start reaping and enjoying fruits From no where. Here are some examples of what they do to make quick cash,
1. INTERNET FRAUD: People now go into fraud of all kinds including Internet fraud and online dating scam to make quick cash. It's interesting to know that ladies are also involved In this fraud of different kinds.
2. G- PLUS: This is an advance form of fraud when fraudster include the use of voodoo, charms and human rituals into the practice so as to be able to effectively scam their victims of huge sum of money. Some outrighly engage In human rituals and blood money and disguise their actions with Internet fraud or G as it's popularly called.
3. PROSTITUTION: This is when People engage In sexual activities for gains either monetary or In kind. For the seek of this term, i will be defining other terms that are used commonly to refer to prostitution.
- ARISTOCRAT: M.I Abaga define Aristocrat as some one Male or Female that engage In sexual activities with some one much older than them for ARISTO - CASH.
- ARISTO - CASH : This is the gains or cash gotten From the activities with ARISTO - CLIENTS.
- ARISTO - CLIENTS: These are the usually older and Wealthy persons that engage In ARISTO - CRASY with an ARISTOCRAT.(Mr. Evidence)
- ARISTO - CRASY : This refer to the unwholesome relationship that exist between an ARISTOCRAT AND ARISTO - CLIENT usually for their mutual benefits.(Mr. Evidence). It also comes with ARISTO - CURSE.
- ARISTO - CURSE : This is the evil consequences of the relationship between an ARISTOCRAT and ARISTO - CLIENT. (Mr Evidence). Some are brought about by the innocent spouse of the ARISTO - CLIENTS like insults, beatings, embarrassment, etc and also the fact that some of the ARISTO - CLIENTS uses the ARISTOCRAT to renew the EVIL CONVENANT they have and for other evil purposes.
In a nut shell, the quest to get money at all cost has lead many into All manner of crime against Humanity. It is Good to State at this point that there are more to life than acquiring Wealth From evil ways. Who of us can remember the richest man on earth In 1900,1950,1980,2000, and the likes? It shows that acquiring Wealth at all cost is not the ultimate, but LIVING A GOOD LIFE IN THE SITE TO GOD AND MAN IS BEST , because even if we dont enjoy All that life have to offer now, we will surely enjoy these and many more In God's Kingdom.
A STITCHE IN TIME SAVES NINE.
QUALITIES OF A CAPABLE WIFE
A lot have been said by different scholars and authors about the
above topic because while the man is the HEAD of the family, the wife is said
to be the NECK. We all know the role our NECK play with regards to the
functioning of our head and the body as a whole. Though the head is the site of
wisdom and decision making, without the neck the decisions cannot get to the
other parts of the body for execution. Not to forget is the fact that the neck
actually help in rotating and adjusting the position of the head. That been the
case, the role of a wife in the family is as important as that of the NECK to
the body. This in turn calls for great
responsibility on the part of the Woman if she will be able to perform her
duties as a CAPABLE WIFE well in the family. It is understood that majority of
the ladies we have around lack these qualities, and this might be one of the
reasons why we have a large number of unmarried ladies of marriageable age in
the society and the world at large. But how can we cultivate the qualities of a
capable wife if we don’t already have them all?
How can we recognize them when we come across one? These questions will
be answered during the course of this article, but before that, let’s look at
the definitions of some terms. Our discussion will be based on PROVERBS
31: 10-31. We will be considering it in PIECE MEAL.
1. CAPABLE: Long man
Lexicon of Contemporary English defines it as having the qualities or abilities
to do something well.
2. CAPABLE WIFE: is defined as a married woman that performs her wifely duties
or roles very well to the best of her ability.
The first section will be
taken from PROVERBS 31: 10- 12, it says, “A capable wife who can find, her
value is far more than that of corals. In her the heart of her owner has put
trust, and there is no gain lacking. She has rewarded him with good not bad,
all the days of her life. VERSE 10: make it clear that getting a CAPABLE WIFE
is very DIFFICULT especially now that we live in a world with low moral values,
a world that glorifies those with bad and questionable characters, a world were
majority of the girls place more value on their physical appearance than their
characters, which is the secret person of the heart that has more value in the
sight of God. It is good to always look good, because we should dress the way
we want to be addressed, and looking good, is good business. However, this should
not be done at the expense of our good conducts. So a man that is fortunate to
find a capable wife should be very happy, because she is worth more than
millions of precious stones. VERSE 11: makes it clear that the husband of a
capable wife puts his trust in her in that he has the confidence that whatever
tasks she is given either in his presence or absence, she is going to deliver
well. He also trust her in that whatever they discuss in secret, she will never
disclose to a third party, in good or bad times. This is one area that most
women are guilty of. Once they are privileged to know some of your secrets,
most will be looking for the next little misunderstanding to tell the tales to
the world. That is very wrong. We should learn to keep secrets no matter the
condition both good and bad. It also
says that there is no gain lacking. This means that the household does lack
anything good, but lack bad things that will affect the household adversely. VERSE
12: makes it clear that she reward her husband with good even when he does not
deserve it all the day of her life. She does this through her words, actions,
and decisions. She does not pay back evil for evil. Though this lesson is directed
mainly to the Ladies, men can also learn from it.
PROVERBS 33: 13-15, it says and i quote "she has sought wool and linen, and she
works at whatever is the delight of her hands. She has proved to be like the
ships of a merchant, from far away she brings in her food. She also wakes up
while it is still night and gives food to her household, and the prescribed
portion to her young women. end of quote. (New Word Translation). VERSE 13: says
she sew wool and linen. This does not mean that she is an experience fashion
designer, rather it means that she knows how to do minor amendments on clothes
using needle and thread or a sewing machine if she has one, thus saving the
resources of her husband and uses them for other necessary things. She works at
whatever is the delight of her hand means she discovers her gifts, talents, or
abilities. it can be cooking, trading, making hair or clothes etc, works on it
to become more proficient and use it to assist her family, others, and raise
funds for the family i.e. she learns a skill. VERSE 14: says she has prove to
be like the ships of a merchant, from far away she brings in her food, meaning
that she is not satisfied with merely going to the market to buy food stuff for
the family, but she goes to the parts of the market that she knows she will get
the items at a cheaper price even if it means walking long distances, and that
she also knows the right time to go to the market to get the items at a cheaper
price. She also knows the various markets in the community where she can get
the various food items cheap, and also goes to get them for her family thus
saving funds. VERSE 15: says she also get up while others are still asleep to
start attending to house duties like cooking, cleaning, washing, etc and ensure
that they have something to eat no matter how small when they wake up from
sleep. It also says she gives the prescribe portion to her young women means
that though she is very hard working, she does not encourage laziness and
incapability by her young women, so she starts teaching them how to carry out
various duties so that they will grow up to become responsible, capable and
independent adults.
PROVERBS 31: 16- 18,
reads, she has considered a field and proceeded to obtain it, from the fruitage
of her hands and she planted a vineyard. She has girded her hips with strength,
and she invigorates her arms. She has sensed that her trading is good, her lamp
does not go out at night. VERSE 16; says she buys a field from the fruitage of
her hands and planted a vineyard. It means that she was able to raise large sum
of money from her business that could make her get properties for the family. This
she does with the permission of her husband recognizing he is her head. Whatever
she does, is not to bring praise to herself, but to bring praise to her
husband, family, and God. She also planted a vineyard means that apart from her
business, she also has a garden were she plants vegetables, and other things
she uses in cooking for the family. She knows that because we are living in an
uncertain world, there are going to be times when there will not be money to
feed the family, but with the harvest from her garden, they will survive until
things normalize. She also uses the things from her garden to cook for the
family, so that she will have to buy little of nothing thus saving the family
funds. VERSE 17: shows that she is very
hard working, because she keep on working even when she is suppose to be
resting knowing she has to care for her family very well. VERSE 18, shows that
she is good in whatever business or trade she does, thus raising more funds for
herself and the family. Her lamp does not go out at night means that she plans
ahead. She knows what the family have and does not have. She does not wait for
any of the house hold items to be completely finished, before she makes plans
to replace then, rather she replaces them as soon as she notice that they will
soon finish. Ladies! What kind of wife do you want to be in future? A full
house wife? Meaning you are not going to engage in any other business apart
from making babies and taking care of your household, thus depending solely on
your husband for funds. How will you cope when he loses his job, or the
inevitable happens? Food for thought! Or do you want to become a full career
woman? By this I mean that you concentrate majorly on making money, and have
little or no time for caring for your family. A capable wife should balance
both activities as they are both important for the smooth running of the
family.
PROVERBS 31; 19-21 says and i quote “Her hands seize the
distaff, and her hands take holds of the spindle. She extends her hands to the
lowly one, and she opens her hands to the poor. She does not worry about her
household because of the snow, for her whole household is clothed in warm
garments. The point we are picking from
here is that ‘She extends her hands to the lowly one, and she opens her hands
to the poor. Ladies are you the type that is very stingy even with the needs
you don’t need? Are you the type that when your husband wants to give money or
things to assist his family members or those in need that will be the time you
will present your endless need of the things you want? Are you the type that
does not make your inlaws comfortable in your husbands house, But if it’s your
family members, you will treat them with all care and ensure that they get the
best of everything? Such attitude is very wrong and has broke many marriages
today. Be careful not to fall into this trap and treat everyone equally.
PROVERBS 31: 22-24, says, coverlets, she has made for
herself. Her clothing is of linen and wool dyed reddish purple. Her owner is
someone known in the gates, when he sits down with the older men of the land. She
has made even undergarments and proceeded to sell them, and belts she has given
to the tradesmen. VERSE 22: makes mention of a capable wife making coverlets
(bedspreads) for herself. It shows that apart from being good in domestic activities,
she is also good in bed that is why she provides whatever will make sleeping
with her husband enjoyable. It also shows that a capable wife has a high
fashion sense, that is why her clothing is of linen and wool dyed reddish
purple. She knows how to combine wears and colors of things to put on to any
occasion that will suit the purpose of the occasion, with modesty and soundness
of mind. VERSE 23: makes it clear that she brings, praise, glory, and honor to
her husband through her conducts, words, decisions, and actions that is why her
owner is someone known at the gates, when he sits down with the older men of
the land. VERSE 24: makes it clear that she provides for the needs of her
husband and children to the extent of undergarments, that is why she makes
undergarments, after satisfying her family needs, she sells the surplus to the
tradesmen. It also shows that she is very sociable that is why she can sell her
various produces to the public and raise funds for herself and family. Ladies
please always try to satisfy your husband marital dues, so he will not have
reasons to look elsewhere for it!
PROVERBS 31: 25-27. Says, strength and splendor are her
clothing, and she laughs at a future day. Her mouth she has opened in wisdom
and the law of loving kindness is upon her tongue. She is watching over the
going on of her house hold, and the bread of laziness she does not eat. VERSE 25 shows that she is very hard working
because she clothe herself with strength and splendor, meaning she does not
easily get tired. she laughs at a future day shows that she has vision, foresight,
and discernment to sense a noble course and pursue it, even if it means
sacrificing her time, resources,
strength, convenience, etc because she knows the rich rewards that awaits them
in the future, thus "smiling".
She believes in suffering today so that they can enjoy tomorrow. she
prefer to stick to a hard working man with prospect for the future even if he
is poor today, than a wealthy man that she don’t see a future with. This is
where most ladies are getting it wrong today. Most 21st century
ladies prefer to enjoy everything today forgetting that there are many days
ahead. VERSE 26, shows that she is very
cautious of what she says, because it can affect her personality either for
good or bad. She does not take part in idle talks, harmful gossips, back
biting, etc. rather she gives wise, reliable, & sound counsels to her
husband, children, friends, and acquaintances. VERSE 27, says she is watching
over the going on of her house hold in that she knows details about almost
everything going on in the life’s of her husband, and children because she is a
very good communicator. She knows their needs, abilities, likes etc
individually. She knows when they are sad individually and what to say or do to
make them happy. This is also where many ladies are getting it wrong, it
becomes worst when they are wealthy and have house maids. There are certain
duties that can never and should never be delegated by the woman to a third
party not even a relative. They include washing his under wears, making his
bed, fetching his bathing water, making and serving his food and many more. The
way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so says a wise proverb. By
allowing their maids to prepare and serve their husbands food. Some women has
given the key to their man’s heart to the maid, no wonder some end up marrying
their maid’s and chasing out the madam. Women should guide against this with
all their might. The bread of laziness, she does not eat means she is not lazy,
but rather very industrious. Ladies, are you a good communicator? How do you
relate with your parents, siblings, and others? Are you friendly or harsh? Always
remember, thoughts in the heart of a man, are like waters in a deep well, only
the one with discernment (a good communicator) can draw them out.
PROVERBS 31:28-30. Reads
thus, her sons have risen up and proceeded to pronounce her happy, her
owner rises up and he praises her. There are many daughters that have shown
capableness, but you- you have ascended above them all. Charm may be false, and
prettiness may be vain, but the woman that fears Jehovah is the one that has
procure praise for herself. The three verses talks about the rewards of a
capable wife. Let us now look at them critically. VERSE 28, shows that all the
beautiful qualities of a capable wife are noticed by the world, including her
husband and children, that is why her sons will rise and pronounce her happy
and her husband will praise her. This will also earn her their love, respect,
support, generosity, consideration, understanding, patient, and many more good
things. VERSE 29, is the romantic words of her husband to her, acknowledging
the fact that there are other girls with the qualities of a capable wife, but
she has proved herself uniquely evident in performing her wifely duties. For
this she is going to have his love, trust, and fidelity, for the rest of her
life until death do them part! VERSE 30: talks about the most important quality
of a capable wife. This quality summaries all the other ones. It says that the
woman that fears Jehovah is the one that procure praise for herself. A woman
that fears God will not exhibit bad manners. it means that you can be very
charming, pretty, have all the other qualities, but once this is lacking, every
other thing is a waste. This is so because you will not get God’s blessings
now, and in the future everlasting life. i know all have benefited a lot from
the article, let’s put them into practice to help attract the right man to us
and make our homes paradise on earth. ( LIVING EVIDENCE FOUNDATION)

HOW WILL I GIVE MY CHILD A GOOD START IN LIFE?
The birth of a child, brings both joy and
anxieties, like how to give the child a good start
in life. Follow through on some suggestions. Television can be a wonderful
learning tool, says a report in the NEW YORK TIMES. However, sitting passively
in front of the tube for hours is taking its toll on the bodies and minds of children’s,
robbing them of opportunities that can foster creative, learning, and social
interaction.
After studying
the viewing habits of 2,500 children, researchers at children hospital in Seattle
Washington, U.S.A., Found that the more TV viewed by toddlers aged 1-3, the
greater the risk of attention problem at age 7, says the news paper. Such
children are increasingly aggressive and impatient and had a decreased
attention span. According to educational psychologist Dr. Jane M. Healy, many
parents of children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder found the
difficulty markedly improved after they took away TV viewing privileges. What
can parents do to reduce the time spent by their children watching TV? The
report offered the following suggestions:
- Set limits on
when and how long your child can watch TV each day.
-Avoid using the TV
as a babysitter. Instead, involve your child in doing household chores as much
as possible.
- Select the
shows your child can watch, and turn off the TV when the shows are over.
- Whenever
possible, watch the selected programs with your child and talk about what you
see.
Finally, limit your own TV viewing.
Nurturing creativity and social skills in
children takes time, determination, and self discipline. The positive results
are worth the effort. This is attested to in an ancient proverb that says:
Train up a boy according to the way for him, even when he grow old, he will not
depart from it.(proverbs 22:6). An integral part of such training involves
instructing children in proper MORAL VALUES. (Awake).
WHAT IS PATIENCE?
PATIENCE:- One class of thinking define patience as the ACT or ABILITY to ENDURE or TARRY FOR AWHILE, while WAITING FOR an ACT, EVENT, or SOMETHING ELSE to MATERIALIZE or OCCUR! Sad though, many people today lack this quality because they tend to want things done as soon as possible to meet their needs, thereby BREAKING PROTOCOLS, JUMPING STEPS, and creating SHORT CUTS to achieve their "AIMS" or get to their "DESTINATIONS". Often times, this lead to sad and bitter aftermaths. Let us learn from NATURE how we can be patient.1. APPLE: Any man wanting to have a constant source of apple in his house might plan to plant an apple seed from which will come the APPLE TREE. For it to grow into a tree, the seed have to die first in the soil after which it will germinate and take some months or years to get to maturity before it can produce APPLE FRUITS. This calls for what? PATIENCE. What happens if the owner becomes impatient and cut down the tree because it has not started producing fruits though it has germinated forgetting that FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS AN APPOINTED TIME? YOU ALREADY KNOW!
2. CHILD BEARING: A married woman desirous of having CHILDREN should be ready to wait for about 9 MONTHS before she can have her baby. Lets assume she has been married for 20 years without a child. What will happen if after becoming pregnant because of the joy of wanting to have her baby as soon as possible she decides not to wait for 9 MONTHS, let’s say about 5months before going into forced labor or arranged that she should be operated upon? YOU ALREADY KNOW!
3. BUSINESS: An industrious young man desiring to become an INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MAN needed to learn a SKILL that will take about 3.5 YEARS to become PROFICIENT in it. He actually started the skill acquisition program. What will happen if after about a 2 YEARS of learning the skill, decides to BREAK AWAY TO ESTABLISH HIS OWN? YOU ALREADY KNOW!
MORAL: The importance of been PATIENT can never be overly STRESSED. PARTIAL PATIENCE IS NO PATIENCE, BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO LOSING EVERY THING. PATIENCE HAS TO BE EXERCISE FULLY TO YIELD THE REQUIRED RESULTS. DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS, WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST! YOU DESERVE THE BEST. ( LIVING EVIDENCE FOUNDATION)
QUALITIES OF A CAPABLE HUSBAND
When it comes to marital issues, people
usually turn to the woman and present the long list of qualities a capable wife
should possess as found in the Bible without paying equal attention to that of
the man too, because it takes two to tangle.
We shall be looking at the qualities a Capable Man should possess in
piece meal. The first quality we will be considering is
1. INDUSTROUSNESS: A Capable husband
should be very industrious. He tries to be CREATIVE,AND ENGAGE IN AS MANY TASKS
AS POSSIBLE SO THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF HIS FAMILY AT ALL
TIMES. He is willing to pick up MINOR JOBS just to be able to raise funds for
his family. He realizes that a man that cannot provide for his family, both
SPIRITUALLY, AND PHYSICALLY, IS WORST THAN A PERSON WITHOUT FAITH.
2. LEADERSHIP QUALITY: He has leadership quality, because he does not depend solely
on others to make DECISIONS, PLANS, OR PILOT THE AFFAIRS OF HIS FAMILY. He
knows when to seek advices and not, and when to act on the advices and not.
3. OPTIMISTIC: He is always optimistic regardless of how bad the situation
they are going through is, because he has in mind the words of the HOLY BIBLE
that says, A MAN THAT SHOWS HIMSELF DISCOURAGED IN TIMES OF PROBLEMS, HIS POWER
WILL BE SCANTY. If him as the head of the family is discouraged and starts
CRYING LIKE A BABY, WHAT WILL HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN DO? WHO WILL COMFORT WHO?
4. MODERATE IN HABIT: A Capable man is
moderate in habit. He knows that VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE. He endeavors to
engage in WHOLE SOME ACTIVITIES MODERATELY REALISING THAT, TOO MUCH OF
EVERYTHING IS BAD, AND THAT THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERY AFFAIR UNDER THE HEAVENS.
5. SOUNDNESS OF MIND: A capable husband has sound mind that makes him use SOUND JUDGE
TO MAKE DECISIONS. He also endeavors to look at ALL THE AVAILABLE FACTS, PRO'S
AND CON'S, BEFORE HE MAKES A DECISION, SAY A WORD, OR TAKE AN ACTION. He always
HEARS BOTH SIDES OF A STORY, AND NOT JUDGE ON HEARSAY. Do you always HEAR BOTH
SIDES OF AN ISSUE, BEFORE YOU SAY THAT WORD, CARRY OUT THAT ACTION, OR MAKE
THAT DECISION?

COOPERATION.
What is
cooperation? One school of thought define it as the act or science of working
peacefully and deliberately with one another toward achieving a set goal or for
the betterment of everyone, end of quote. Looking around us common sense will
tell us that JEHOVAH DID NOT CREATE US TO BE INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER.
But sad to say, some people tend to think that way. Let us now XRAY this point
and see EVIDENCES from
- NATURE
-CHEMISTRY
- BIOLOGY.
1. NATURE: In nature we can see this in
many sector but we will just consider one. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND
PLANTS. JEHOVAH made it that humans breath in oxygen O2 and breath out carbon
dioxide CO2 and plants on it parts cooperate with humans by taking in the CO2
use it to manufacture food for us and give out O2 for human to breath in thus
cleaning our environment. What will happen to the man that refuses to COOPERATE
with the plants around us by WITH HOLDING CO2 from the plants by not wanting to
breathe it out? YOU KNOW THE STORY.
2. CHEMISTRY: JEHOVAH also made many complex chemical processes in nature
and this has been imitated in the field of chemistry. Let us restrict ourselves
to one. In chemistry there is what is called CHAIN REACTION. One school of
thought has it that chain reaction is a kind of complex reaction that is made
up of many different reactions that uses different raw materials and produces
different end products and the end product of each stage serves as the raw
material for the very next stage of the reaction until the overall end product
is produced then the reaction stops. Examples can be seen in Nuclear and atomic
chemistry. What will happen if one of the reaction or stage in the chain
reaction refuse to COOPERATE with the next stage of the reaction by not giving
out it end product as the raw material for the next? YOU KNOW THE STORY.
Lastly in BIOLOGY: JEHOVAH also made
numerous EVIDENCES of these in nature and this has prompted RESEARCH into them.
Among some of the well established COOPERATION IN NATURE are COMMENSALISM AND
MUTUALISM. We will consider MUTUALISM. One school of taught define
mutualism as a biological association between two organisms in which both of
the organisms benefit mutually from the association. An example can be seen
between the association of Algae and Fungae to form Leech This association is
now so strong that either of the two organisms cannot without the other
effectively survive in the environment. What will happen to the algae if
it refuses to COOPERATE with the fungae? YOU KNOW THE STORY.
MORAL LESSON. We should all learn to
COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER TOWARD ACHIEVING A SET POSITIVE GOAL NO MATTER OUR
ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, RACIAL, POLITICAL,AND RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS, AS WE WHERE
MADE BY JEHOVAH TO DO THAT, AND ANYTHING SHORT OF THIS WILL BE HARMFUL TO US
AND OTHERS. NO MAN IS AN ICELAND.
