TOPIC: TECHNOLOGY CANNOT TRAIN THEM

MEMORISE: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

BIBLE READING: Proverbs 29:15 (KJV)
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

MESSAGE:
Thank God we can reach countless people around the world with the gospel through various technological devices and the internet. However, just as we are reaching many people with the gospel using technology, the devil is also using the same technology to reach people, including children. Many children now have access to pornographic sites through phones and tablets, and paedophiles manipulate children into immoral affairs through the internet. This is why, as good as technology is, parents cannot depend on it solely when it comes to raising their children.
When I was younger and there were no computers nor access to calculators, people had to do arithmetic by themselves. Nowadays, a lot of the younger generation cannot even calculate how much they are going to pay at a counter unless they use a calculator. If you are a parent, train your children not to overly rely on technology. Train them to do some things by themselves, and this will further enhance their natural abilities. These days, some children find it very difficult to relate properly with people they meet physically because they have become addicted to relating with people online. Also, some young children do not greet other people because they are always wearing headphones and engaging with their electronic devices. You must not allow technology to make your children socially deficient or emotionally handicapped. You must ensure that you encourage them to develop their natural gifts and talents while also teaching them to interact properly with the world around them.
It is really sad that some children are bullied online and are plunged into depression because of what someone online said to them. Parents must be vigilant. They shouldn't depend on technology to keep their children occupied when they don't want to be bothered; they just might be handing them over to the devil. Don't delegate your children's training and upbringing to technology. If you don't know what your children are doing on their electronic devices at every instance, then you are depending on technology to train them for you, and trust me, technology was not developed to be a godly parent. Today's memory verse says that you should train a child in the way he or she should go. Do the apps your children engage with daily know the way they should go?
Parents, spend time with your children and train them yourself. I pray that God will protect all our children from the devil's agenda to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:1, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT:
Parents should spend quality time with their children and be mindful of what they have access to through technology.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Jeremiah 51-52
AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE

HYMN: 28 - GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH
1 Guide me, O my great Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but you are mighty;
hold me with your powerful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore,
feed me now and evermore.

2 Open now the crystal fountain,
where the healing waters flow.
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
ever be my strength and shield,
ever be my strength and shield.

3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death, and hell's Destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever sing to you,
I will ever sing to you.

SouljarLife - The Bank of Joyful Celebrations that Let your Light So Shine

"The Day the Spaghetti Almost Ruined Everything"....

It all started on a Saturday afternoon in Chika’s small apartment.

The three friends, Chika, Kunle, and Amara had gathered for what they called “The Weekly Life Crisis Meeting.”

It wasn’t official. They just used it as an excuse to eat free food and complain about life.

Chika was in the kitchen cooking spaghetti, but it was… suspiciously watery.

Kunle: Chika, abeg tell me we are not about to eat ‘spaghetti soup.’

Chika: “Kunle, shut up. It’s pasta al dente… Italian people eat it like this.”

Amara: “Please, this one no be Italy, this is Surulere.”

They all laughed, but as they sat down with their plates, the laughter died down.

There was this awkward silence that always came when the jokes were over.

The silence where you remember that your bank account is not laughing with you.😣

Amara broke the silence.

“You know… I’m tired. Every year feels the same. Same job, same salary, same struggles.”

Kunle nodded.

“It’s like life is just dragging us. No plan, no excitement… just survival.”

Chika put down her fork.

“Exactly! We wake up, go to work, complain about work, wait for salary, and repeat. What’s the point?”

They started talking about how most people just exist without truly living.

They wanted something more. More freedom, purpose, and money that didn’t depend on begging HR for a raise.

Kunle: “The truth is, we’re not being intentional. We’re just letting life happen to us instead of making it happen.”

Amara: “So what do we do? It’s not like money will just fall from the sky.”

Chika: “Maybe it’s time we start something that’s ours. Something we control.”

Then Kunle said something that made them all pause.

“Guys… we spend all our time online, scrolling.

What if we used that same internet to build something that actually makes us money?”

At first, Amara laughed.

“You mean like becoming influencers? Please, my dance skills will chase followers away.”

But Chika leaned in.

“No, not just influencing… I’m talking about running real online businesses. Selling services, products, creating something people need.”

They began brainstorming.

They talked about people they knew who started online courses, sold digital products, ran e-commerce stores and were making serious money.

They realised it wasn’t magic but it was skill, consistency, and learning the right way to do it.

Before they knew it, the “spaghetti soup” was cold, but their hearts were on fire.

They made a pact right there that;

1. They would each choose an online business to start.

2. They would learn together, hold each other accountable, and support each other.

3. They would be intentional about their time, energy, and money.

Amara: “So, this is it? We’re really doing this?”

Kunle: “Yes. No more just talking. We start now.”

Chika: “Let’s make our lives meaningful… and rich.”

They laughed again, but this time it wasn’t to cover up frustration, it was the excitement of knowing that something had shifted.

Three friends, one decision, and a cold plate of spaghetti…

That was the day everything changed.

.........

You too can decide to change your financial status by starting an online business.

I hope this helps you!

Thank you!
