God almighty will not compromise his stand on truth and falsehood, Godly behavior, and satanic influences. Respectively each of them attracts rewards and consequences of punishment.

Adultery, therefore, becomes the most hated act condemnable by society and almighty Allah.

Unfortunately, a very high percentage of mankind, prefer to live promiscuous lives, making the environment to be charged with the menace of torments and unpleasantries mainly because they are not scriptural. The following chapters and verses of the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran are vital food for thought.

The Holy Bible, Proverbs 5: 15-20 refers, ''15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?''

To be able to achieve successfully the above admonition and live a Godly life, the Holy Quran admonishes all believers in Islam who are qualified to be called Muslims in 4 : 3, '' If you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans(women considered to be of low class). Marry women of your choice, 2, 3 or 4; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with them, then only ONE or that which your right hand possesses (your heart's desire). That would be more suitable to prevent you from injustice.''

Human failure to follow the above injunctions has led to serious cases of separation, neglect, and the most distasteful act before God-divorce. This has led to the consequence of poor child-rearing, making the homes produce problem children. We must all, therefore, be conscious of the need to respect the sacredness of marriage institutions as established by the almighty God, for mankind to be able to produce and establish a virile nation.

The Holy Quran 30: 21 refers for all to be able to live by the fear of God for exemplary lifestyles bequeathable to posterity.

''And among the signs is this that He created for you maids from among yourselves that ye may dwell in tranquility with them and He has put love and mercy between your hearts: verily in that are signs for those who reflect.''

If we are able to live by the divine codes, most especially on these injunctions that admonish that we should live decently, marriages would be saved and child-rearing would be successful to produce better generations that would be able to develop rightly, building on the solid foundation of today. Enjoy your own wife only.

(A Psalm of praise.) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Life is without falsehood or deceit is exemplary. This is the expectation of God from every human. The failure of mankind to respect these golden rules is responsible for the sate of insecurity in several nations.

We need to continue to remember that without divine intervention, human efforts will always go into nullity, which translates to chaos and pleasant situations.

Let us, therefore, respect the sacredness of our faith, through been scripture compliant in our chosen religion for the world to be devoid of injustice and marginalization which are always the root causes of human disaffection.

This is buttressed in the Holy Bible Proverbs 29 : 14–23, ‘’14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.’’

Similarly, the Holy Quran 2 : 269 refers, ‘’He granteh wisdom to whom He pleaseth, and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing ; but none will receive admonition except men of understanding.’’

For all troubled nations to attain a state of felicity we must base exemplary lifestyels on the virtues spelt out in the scripture.

The Holy Quran 3 : 134–135 not only corroborates the essentials of the golden rules of exemplary lifestyles in the quoted verses of the Holy Bible.

Hence, there is a need to heed the admonition that follow.

‘’Those who spend freely whether in prosperity, or in adversity : who restrain anger and pardon all men:- For Allah loves those who do good and those who having done an act of indecency or wronged their own souls. Remember Allah and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah ?- And are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in the wrong they have done.’’

Use the SWOT analysis for the above mentioned bible verses of wisdom for exemplary lifestyles, to be able to make necessary adjustment to achieve the goal of safe and secured environment for rapid development. Thereafter, live by SMART concept to be able to heed the admonition of god from the above mentioned Quranic verses, daily to be able to attain the pious state of an exemplar. Heed the voice of wisdom.

The craze for wealth by humans will go beyond the perception of vanity, if and only if an individual can think of others in the sense of caring and sharing for neighbors to be catered for.

Money spent on others with appreciable impact in addressing their needs will justify the essence of the world would have been far better to live in amicably without the unnecessary fear of unwarranted exigencies of sorrows, most especially from those who may feel marginalized and hostile nation or society.

The neighbor in the spiritual is greater than self.

Ecclesiastes 5: 15-17 is a good reference point.

''15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath labored for the wind?

17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.''

With sadness and joy, an individual keeps on with life while alive. What then is the essence of cheating on others to make it in life. A number of people engage in ritual killings for quick money.

Why do we neglect the dignity of labor, hard work, and a symbiotic form of living with others?

A parasitic form of living is as bad as living in affluence without considering the wellness or economic status of others.

The Holy Quran 6: 94 emphasizes the futility of human struggles and the emptiness of life itself if it is devoid of having fellowship with others to minimize sadness but maximize joy. There is internal peace for all givers will never lack. For we come with nothing and we will leave with nothing.

''And behold! Ye come to Us bare and alone as We created you for the first time: Ye have left behind you all favors which We bestowed on you: We see not with you your intercessors whom ye thought to be partners in your affairs. So now all relations between you have been cut off and you pet fancies have been left in the lurch.''

Do not acquire wealth illegitimately because the consequences will be on you alone and by extension, the generational curses may follow like a cloud of jinx in the family's genealogical order.

Only God can give peace and tranquility to the mind, but divine intervention will never reach out to people with anti-scriptural behavior. Let us remember that once the fundamental needs are met in terms of food, clothing, and shelter as human physiological needs all other things do not add value except luxuries which in most cases bring about misfortune due to the miserly approach of using them or lack of philanthropic gesture by those who are endowed. 

It is, therefore, imperative to be rightly guided to always remember that we come with nothing and we will leave with nothing. On this, be a moderate exemplar.

Muslims have been called upon to invest more in Mosques for their socio-spritiual empowerment.

This call was made recently by the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke at the commissioning of the 10th Shafaudeen Mosque at Shafautedo in Ido Local Government area of Oyo state.

‘’On this glorious occasion, we are delivering Sahafaudeen National Mosque for the use of Muslims for their socio-spiritual empowerment to better the lot of mankind or humanity. Why I am investing in the building of Mosques on the concept of puritanism ? It is the only house recognized by God as a ticket to gain Allah’s favor into paradise or Jannat if and only if we keep the sacredness status eternally-Daaru Salaam, the House of Peace indeed ! Let us note that Mosque is meant for human reformation on the need to transform the society ! Build the people, the adherents to build the Nation at Sustainable Level, ‘’ Prof. Olagoke concluded.

Our service to humanity is sacrosanct to our living well on earth and out having a direct ticket into Jannat or paradise.

It is fundamental to note that if we fail to maintain good neighborliness as our service to humanity our religious activities towards God will automatically come to nullity.

The story of the rich man who refused to follow Jesus Christ gives more insight into the Holy Bible Matthew 18: 16-24,''16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglects to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican.

18Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21Then came to Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

23Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

24And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.''

For any nation to achieve in the area of justice and equity to be able to have peaceful co-existence and sustainable development, the concept of philanthropy must be inbuilt into the culture learned and practiced to drastically reduce or exterminate poverty otherwise one would not be able to meet up with the admonition of the almighty Allah in the Holy Quran 90: 4-18, ''Verily we have created man into toil and struggle, thinketh he that none hath power over him? He may say boastfully wealth have I squandered in abundance! Thinketh he that none hath power over him? Have we not made for him a pair of eyes, tongue, and a pair of lips and shown him the two highways? But he hath made no haste on the path that is cheap and what would explain to thee the path that is steep?

It is freeing the bound man or giving of food in a day of deprivation to the orphans with claims of relationship or to the indigent down in the dust. Then he will be of those who believe and enjoy patience(constancy and self-restraint) and enjoying deeds of kindness and compassion such are the companions of the right hand.''

With all the churches, mosques, and other faith-based organizations around, claiming to have the direct line of God, there is a need to ask the people why democracy does not work amidst them, judging by the spate of insecurity everywhere. What then is the relevance of the houses of God and the scriptures, when the people fail to utilize their spiritual potency expected to reflect in achieving social desires. Wholesome service in the vineyard of God goes beyond religious exercises but extends to our care and service to humanity through the keeping of good neighborliness.

Adherents of all religions are expected to be change agents that are already reformed to be able to transform for good the people and the environment.

Be ready to play your owen part well from today.

There is an urgent need for religious leaders to realize that they are susceptible to people's casts of doubt and aspersion on the way they run the affairs of our religious systems. This is because acquisition is necessary for an environment of doubt(where devilish things occur incessantly without control, even under the roof of very many people and the houses of God in particular).

The Holy Bible in Mark 3: 22-29 refers, ''22And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

23And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

24And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26And if Satan rises up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

27No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

28Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

29But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:''

In the same vein, in the Holy Quran 22: 52 the Almighty God asserted that all holy prophets experienced the envious attacks of satan, but for their scripture compliance, it was possible for them to enjoy timely divine intervention, to be able to successfully deliver the message of God without hindrance.

The Holy Quran 16: 97-100, harps on the premise upon which satanic interference can take place but overcome.

'' Whoever, works righteousness, man or woman and has faith, verily to him will We give a life that is good and pure, and we will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions when thou dost read the Quran(the scripture), seek Allah's protection from Satan, the Rejected One. No authority as he(satan) over those who believe and put their trust in their Lord. His authority is over those only, who take Him as patron and who join partners with Allah.''

It is, therefore, left to I and you to stand aright in our faith to enjoy divine strengthing, or we live waywardly or frivolous lives that constitute the path to destruction.

The demand of God from man is to identify the variables that are the determining factors for the realization of body preservation from sins, crimes, and soul purification from devilish thoughts.

The Holy Bible, Mark 7: 17-23 refers, ''And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within and defile the man.''

Let us take an in-depth look into our ways of life, so as to be able to work on the weak areas for us to be wholesome in our religious practice. This will enable us to achieve a perfect God/man relationship that would set us free from the clutches of satan.

The Holy Quran 7: 157 offers us effective solutions for ease of achieving body preservation from sins and crimes as well as soul purification from devilish thought processes considering the four variables that characterize our behaviors and attitudes in life.

1)Role modeling what is just.

2)Forbidding what is evil.

3) Consider what is lawful as good and pure only.

4) Prohibit what is bad and impure.

The goal is to avoid frictions in our social interactions as well as to be vulnerable to poison through food and drinks.

Divine promise for those who can with the fear of God observe the four articles of faith above is a free offer from God as a favor and reward of just worship or been scripture compliant: Releases them from the yokes that are upon them. Be wise.

Most often, human beings forgive people for what they perceived as offenses against them which out of the offenders' acts of soberness and repentance may necessitate an individual to declare forgiveness.
In every human system, the customary, magistrate, high, appeal and supremer courts have jurisdiction to hear and judge cases.
However, most times the judgments emanating from these courts are controversial.
Religious books unanimously agree that human beings must not be judgmental to the level of condemning others, most especially when perceptions are different on the same issue at stake.
We must rather live to tolerate one another and to role model virtues to be able to correct perceived aberrations from others.
Divine judgment from God is justified by the claim of been our creator most especially on the ways we live our lives justly or unjustly, sinfully or sinlessly, crime-prone and crime-free.

In a situation wherein lies are peddled to live comfortable lives, the law of natural justice or karma or retribution is bound to take emerge.
We can now appreciate the scriptural submissions that our activities here on earth with the interplay of very many forcers surrounding us deviate us from the path of righteousness for a test or assignment to be assessed by the almighty God our creator.
Divine judgment, therefore, should be seen as eternal and more grievous than any judgment human beings can give themselves.
Divine judgment should not be perceived in the negative sense, that is as a disaster or misfortune inflicted by God as punishment.
Judgment may favor the good ones and it may not favor the bad ones before God.
The scripture upholding our religious beliefs would only remain an article of test on the way we keep to it And live by it.

Human judgment is always bereft of divine substance, for the judge to be able to reflect into the past genealogical order before passing judgment.
To err is human and to forgive is divine.

Riches are like a double-edged sword, wherein one side is evaluated through spiritual endowment and the other side through socio-economic achievements.
The Almighty Allah recommended due process for achieving riches.
The Holy Quran 11: 16 refers, '' There is no moving creature on earth, but its sustenance depended on Allah: He knoweth its resting place and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear record.''
The regulatory measure, therefore, is preferred as a due process of acquisition of wealth through the dignity of labor by legitimate means. If we follow this, the created social classes would have been justified through hard labor and competence, with the consequential result of promotion to get higher classes of economic and social levels.
However,  tur riches become elusive when we illegally acquire wealth without any regard for the due process of legitimate earning.
Corrupt enrichment, therefore, erodes away the spiritual endowment, making the victims wallow in the bondage of satan.
The Holy Bible, James  1: 9-11 becomes food for thought to be rightly guided on true riches from the legitimate acquisition of wealth. ''9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.''
The lesson from this is that beyond the fundamental need, luxuries must be allowed to go into the areas of services where others are in dire need to promote the principles of equity.

The Holy Quran 13: 26 refers, '' Allah doth enlarge, or grant by strict measure, the sustenance which He giveth to whom so He pleaseth. Thew worldly rejoice in the life of this world: but the life of this world is but little comfort compared to the hereafter.''
This corroborates, that for believers true riches are given by strict measure with the accompanying endowment of the Holy Spirit.
Wealth acquired, therefore,  through unjust means or injustice would have trampled upon the fundamental human rights of access of others by depleting their resources for the dubious man to live in affluence.
The almighty God, therefore, declared in the Holy Bible, Isaiah 59: 1-2, that He is all caring, saving, hearing, and seeing, and ready to answer people's requests, most especially the believers.
The Holy Quran 2: 45 refers, ''Nay seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer: It is indeed hard except to those who are humble.''
Seek, therefore, for true riches through the respect for the dignity of labor and legitimate earning as a believer to be endowed by the almighty Allah with spiritual richness and tranquility of the mind, with all promises of God guaranteeing people's safety and the security of lives and properties.

To identify ways to stand by faith, we must be able to define the purpose of religion. It is, therefore,  essential for faith-building to be able to keep a perfect and good relationship with our creator, the almighty Allah.
We must regard our parents and close associates as mere bridge builders between our creator and us.
The best is better known about God, the almighty Allah, and the Prophet Muhammad, through the scripture and curriculum that upholds our faith.
The scripture, is, therefore, a compendium of knowledge about the wishes of the creator with the potency to teach adherents, admonish and guide them to the path of righteousness.
The Holy Prophets are often regarded as pedagogues because they operationalize the contents of the scriptures for adherents to know how to go about it to suit their own lifestyles which society expects to be living examples.

The acceptance of the work of the Holy Prophets makes them be reliable authorities that mankind can follow. For example, in the Holy Quran 33: 45-46, the almighty Allah accepts the work of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. ''O Prophets truly  we have sent thee as a Witness, and a Bearer of Glad Tidings and Warner, and as one who invites to Allah's grace by his leave, and as Allah'sspreading light.''
With this pedigree, the Holy Prophets are your closest friend, teacher, and guardian, whose examples must be followed strictly because their words are their deeds.
Also, another example is in the Holy Bible, Matthew 10: 37-40,''
37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not worthy of me.
39He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.''
Adherents must assess themselves objectively for the purpose of making necessary adjustments to meet up with the exemplary lifestyles of Jesus Christ and the Holy Prophet Muhammad(Holy Bible, John 9: 23–24/Holy Quran 2: 208, 32: 21).
In the same vein, the Holy Quran makes the following submissions 9: 23–24, ‘’O ye who believe! Take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: If any one of you do so, they do wrong. Say if it is that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your matnes, or your kindred: The wealth that you have gained; the commerce in which fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight- are dearer to you than Allah and his messenger, or the striving in his cause; then wait util Allah brings a decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious.’’
Except we are deceiving ourselves, the almighty Allah is clear enough on the quality and standard of worship he expects from us, if we intend to claim the followership of Jesus Christ or the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
Let us study to an application level of understanding and referral, the scriptures upon which our religious faith stands to be able to practice aright in the hope and assurance of rewards of success and divine acceptance of our efforts in religious exercises. Let us stand aright in our faith.

Nigerians have been warned to shun sinful acts to avoid their weighty consequences.
This warning was handed down by a Christian Cleric, Pastor Opeyemi Ajayi.
''The wages of sin are very weighty. The word of God states that the wage is death. We engage in sins. Nigerians should renounce all sinful acts to avoid dire consequences,'' Pastor Ajayi concluded.

In the religious setting, system deterioration could be attributed to the members' activities of the members of the society or the system in particular that are responsible through iniquities, transgressions, frivolities, and waywardness, and other various forms of violating the law through such unethical practices that could not be controlled by the leaders.
Sin, in this case, could be perceived as transgression especially when deliberate of a law having divine authority.
For the present trend of development in the world, Nigeria inclusive, the observation of sin as a plague bedeviling the world could equally be seen as challenges that are yet to be surmountable, hence, the present state of things across the world.
Governments in every nation today, therefore, must work on the  following 7 sins :
1) Wealth without work through the restoration of the dignity of labor and ethical practices.
2) Pleasure without conscience as seen in the fraud-ridden lifestyles of young and women, wasting other people's lives.
3)Knowledge without character, manifesting in functions of education where pedagogues fall short of good conduct.
4)Commerce without morality manifesting in the way people with affluence do aid and abet corruption for people to live in abject poverty amid plenty.
5) Science without humanity wherein many products of Science and Technology are been used for destructive means.
6)Religion without sacrifice wherein the present-day religious leaders fail to go by the dictates of the Scriptures and rather embark on activities against the Scripture to acquire wealth.
7)Politics without principle.

Only the truth avails nations and this can be got through the right applications for the Corporate Governance Perception Index that facilitates ethical practices, standard, competence, transparency, and accountability through definable ideological and implementable ideological goals that would be all-encompassing in been people-focused and oriented to be able to meet up with their yearnings for the realization for their wellness.
Therefore the issue of heaven and hell is a function of people's behavior. Sin is destructive while the truth avails a nation.
Let us make a decision to be morally disciplined to be able to live exemplary lifestyles to bequeath an astounding legacy with divine authority. Refrain from sinful acts from today.

Nigerians have been called upon to be steadfast in their faith in God.
This call was made by a Christian Cleric, Pastor Opeyemi Ajayi.
''Nigerians should be steadfast in their faith in God. All aspirations of human beings are tied to God. All should have faith in God, regardless of the situation they find themselves'', Pastor Ajayi stated.

General lack of been scripture compliance in worshipping God in almost every religion is responsible for adherents' inability to commune with God for timely intervention in the affairs of man, this is because, in every religion, there is a water bed level for God and Godliness, where the divine endowment is inexhaustible.

Unfortunately, adherents of religion treat the process of worship on the surface level of mere social or material level of religion's existence. This is why it is advisable to teach our children from the cradle, the essence of a Godly life and the need to live by the spirit to be rightly led into the process of making the right decisions.

It is therefore essential that we serve God right from the period of puberty and adolescence, at our young age for us to be endowed with a high degree of religiosity.

Ecclesiastes 11: 9-10 admonishes all of us on this, '' 9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.''

In this direction, the Holy Quran 91: 7-10, shows all the best way to live through the need for body preservation from sins and crimes and soul purification from devilish thought processes. ''By the Soul and the proportion and order given to eat; and its inspiration as its wrong and its right;-truly succeeds that purifies it and it fails that corrupts it.''

Young people must be given the right orientation that spans empowerment essence and correct behavioral checks as demonstrated by a holy man presented and regarded as an epitome of good parenting in the Holy Quran 31: 17-19, ''O my son establish what is just and forbid what is wrong: and bear with patient constancy whatever betides thee; for this is the firmness of purpose in the conduct of affairs and swells not thy cheek for pride at men. Nor walk in insolence through the heart: for Allah loveth not any arrogant boaster. And be moderate in thy pace and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sands, without doubt, is the brain of the ass.''

Using the quoted scriptures to assess every home and parenting method makes yesterday to be easy to manage, peaceful and prosperous because of the environment of discipline and ethical guides at home and at the places of work. However, today the same measure of assessment would show our society to be a caricature of itself because of the attitudinal lapses into human frivolities and waywardness as a result of the present climate of constitutional indiscipline and lack of zero tolerance to corruption.

There is, therefore, the need for all of us to uphold the principle and culture of good parenting, whereby parents play the role model to prevent the children, most especially, the young ones in the adolescent stages from swimming in moral rot for us to be able to process them into the objective goal of making them be reliable and dependable future leaders. No jot of the words of God must be trivialized for religion to be potent in giving our young ones fertile growth of knowledge, wisdom, and the power of the discerning mind to be able to make the right decisions at the right time.

Romans 6 : 5

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.

Sunday 18th April

Be reminded that the first 10 days of Ramadan fast is regarded as that of mercy, ask yourself if there have been any changes in your life towards this direction for you to be able to make possible adjustments in the following process of going about the Ramadan fast. Don't play the loser. Ramadan Kareem.

Monday 19th April

A solid foundation to every building always makes it withstand the test and the tides of the time without experiencing any form of collapse.

Body preservation from sins needs to be backed up with the determination not to return to the same after the fast. Equally, avoid criminal tendencies that may be forced through the sense of vengeance of lack. Observe the fast wisely. Ramadan Kareem.

Tuesday 20th April

Ensure you digest the above-mentioned verses. Ramadan Kareem.

Wednesday 21st April

The benefit of the month of Ramadan starts with the first 10 days of its observance because it is a period when all sincere minds in the sacred month receive the blessing of answers to prayer requests for wishes to be fulfilled.

However, you still need to bear in mind that eating and drinking during the day, in the month of Ramadan, break your fasting. Having sexual intercourse during the day equally damages it.

To break fats with alcohol during this holy month patents you as an unserious mind that hates himself.

The Ramadan fats is a divine design that goes beyond mere human wishful thinking in concept and design. Be sensible. Ramadan Kareem.

Thursday, 22nd April

Refrain from deceit, but be part of those whose souls must be saved and their bodies reformed for them to be able to transform their nations as an immediate environment that must be sustainable for habitation.

This is why we must not trivialize the opportunities given to us by God to be alive with our correct senses to be able to get actively involved in this year's Ramadan fats to correct the ills and aberrations wrecking the whole land.

Don't limit the goal of piety and the fear of God to the period of the Ramadan fast only, but be spiritually rejuvenated to be able to wrestle power for the people of God in order that Satan is rendered impotent and put to shame. Ramadan Kareem.
