Responsibility is a great virtue. A responsible child at home will not only bring joy to the hearts of her parents but also society. There are things you do at home that speak a lot about how responsible or irresponsible you are. Irresponsibility is the opposite of responsibility.
One of such is helping around the house.
Do you know what your chores are at home? Do you have to be told before you do them? How often are you asked to carry out tasks or chores around the house before you do?
Do you frown and drag your feet sluggishly? Do you give excuses as to why you shouldn’t or couldn’t your chores?
How you answer the questions above tells a lot about you.
When you learn how to not avoid your responsibilities at a young age, you become a responsible adult. And a responsible adult is of great benefit to society and the world.
This is how to change your cycles and break into new ones. The social media is unpleasant and caustic to issues that has to do with giving, tithing, first fruits and so on.
Understandably so, there have been charlatans who have manipulated God’s people for their selfish end.
On the other side, the generation of Ishmael will always mock Isaac. It is Isaac who has to make us mind to be unmoved and stand his ground in following God and obeying eternal truths.
This season is when people are supposed to honor God with their first-fruits as well laid out in the scriptures.
Pro 3:9 (ERV) Honor the LORD with your wealth and the first part of your harvest.
So there is honor here, and your first fruit becomes a measure of your value to God in terms of its quality and quantity.
The Bible also clearly says you can enter into a covenant with God by your firstfruits which should be a sacrifice.
Psa 50:5 (AMPC) Gather together to Me My saints [those who have found grace in My sight], those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.
With your sacrifice or first fruits, you can enter into a covenant with God concerning how you want this year to be and also use the same to change a persistent cycle in your life and break into another.
All through scriptures, from Abraham, to Isaac, to David, to Samuel, they forcefully barged into their next levels by sacrifice.
Even God, in wanting to get us back and to Himself, had to offer His best, Jesus as a first fruit!. The son of God became the son of man so that He can brings us as sons back to God.
We were saved through sacrifice!
The earlier you understand these principles and apply them, the quicker you break out of persistent yokes and become high flier by covenant!
Also, important are the laws of value and productivity, which opines that you must turn your value into a product, so that after paying your first fruit, you give God an avenue to bless the work of your hand and increase you and said in the scriptures.

Hello dear one, I would like to share something really special with you today. It is about how you can understand the love of God.
There is this special song I would like to teach you, it goes thus;
Jesus loves the little children All the children of the world Red and yellow, black and white They are precious in His sight Jesus loves the little children of the world
The Bible says in
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 19:14
Jesus always wanted little children around him.
Jesus made a profound statement, he said “such is the kingdom of heaven”
Jesus likened you to the Kingdom of heaven! Do you know what that means? It means you are very special and dear not only to Jesus, but also to everyone around you.
I want you to know that you are special, so never feel bad about yourself
You are very valued. Anything that can be compared to heaven is beautiful, special, and a joyful thing, and that is exactly what is said about you.
God loves you, your parents love you, your uncles and aunties love you, everyone around you loves you. You are an answered prayer and a dream come through. Never think little of yourself.
Prayer point: Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for loving and showing me love. Amen
Action Plan: Go ahead and confess the love of Christ throughout today
Don’t trap yourself. You are praying together in the night in his room and electricity fails and you are still looking for a candle? That is the time to escape for your life. It is not about the fact that he is a Christian or the prayer leader; it is about the fact that he is a man and he is human.
All those prayers you do while you are wearing something seductive, you are finishing the guy slowly. His eyes are red, the tongues are changing and you think it is the anointing? No, the guy is on fire! And the bible says you cannot carry fire in your bosom and not be burnt!
5. Give her gifts, no matter how small
She likes that a lot. However, the gift may not make any meaning to her if she has been hurt severally.
6. Never shut her up or shout at her, correct in love
God used the finest bones by the sides of a man in creating a woman to indicate that he wants your wife by your side!
God didn’t use the bones by the feet because your wife is not your doormat, whose emotions and person is to be trampled upon!
7. Forgive her quickly
Don’t shoot yourself in the leg. Not forgiving her can block your prayers. So says the scripture!
8. Major on her good points, overlook her mistakes.
That is the way to go if you want your courtship or marriage to last.
9. Never abuse her or disrespect her in the presence of others.
10. Be sensitive to her needs, moods, and fears. Be there for her.
11. Call her pet names. Let her know at every opportunity that you appreciate her.
12. Seek to understand her more so you can love her more. Women are complex. Men should learn and keep learning.
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY I will not miss it in marriage.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY Lord, open the eyes of my understanding.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Eph 1:18 [GW] Then you will have deeper insight. You will know the confidence that he calls you to have and the glorious wealth that God’s people will inherit.
