You Can Learn From This
Hope you find it inspiring,
The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember,
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
Mary Magdalene was,
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer, AND
Lazarus was dead!
Now! No more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.
And one more thing, Share this with a friend or two,
In the Circle of God's love, God's waiting to use your full potential
Remember, You are always an instrument in the Master's Hand, So don't ever look down on yourself. You can do it, You can make it.
All the best.

Visit To A Remand Home
The Remand Home is a place to which a judge may send a child or young person who has broken the law, either on remand or as punishment.
I was priviledged to visit one recently in my locality-Lagos Nigeria. A home for the juveline deliquents. It was a BOYS Home. I never knew it existed around me, until I found out that day! The were pretty young to be kept away from their parents, I thought! The least of them was 8 YEARS OLD and the oldest 16years!. It was my first experience and I had a nice time despite the fact that I wasn't permitted to discuss with any of these deliquents, because of the fear of the Press. I was only able to discuss with their instructors and ask my questions from them. I look forward to a time when I would be permitted to have some chat with these young ones and DELINQUENTS.
Do watch out for the report on my next visitation to the house. . . Untill then, do have a great time and have fun!
All the Best and do show some care to those around you.

Juveline Delinquencies? We need Some Good Role Models!
Juvenile Delinquencies is a massive and growing problem all over the world and it is referred to as the criminal acts performed by juveniles- persons who are (usually) under the age of eighteen and are still considered to be a minor, i.e. the criminal behaviour by children or adolescent. These acts include: drug abuse, illicit sex, cultism, school crime, internet fraud, violence etc.
Some theorists view delinquency as a function of the individual while others view it as a macro level function of society. I would rather say it's a function of both. It's true for a juvenile to have such nasty behaviour and at the same time been influenced by the society.
The best way to restore peace to young people is through the influence of good role models in the community and in families. Young ones are good observants and they easily emulate/immitate those before them. They are tender in heart and are just like the iron rod which when subjected to intensive heat can be re-molded with ease. But, thereafter, it becomes un-adjustable because ot the hardening of their mind and consciences!
Additionally, the role of parents in child training cannot be over-emphasised, It helps alot in raising godly children. This role must be respected and protected. It is the weakenng of parental bonds even more than poverty that drive young people to drug abuse. . Hence, our government should learn to give more attention to the family which is the basic unit of the society. "Parental love more than any other factor, protects the youth from the risks associated with irresponsible sex and violence".
Preventing youth violence is better off than curing its eventual consequences! Let's unite to make a difference in our community!
