The Daughter Who Breastfeed The Father

This is a touching story of a daughter who breastfeed her father who was sentenced to die by hunger.

The story popularly called Roman Charity, is an exemplary story of Pero, a woman who secretly risked her life to breastfeed her father Cimon, who was in prison after being sentenced to death by starvation.

In the 17th century, during a time when there was no equity, a poor old man Cimon, was sentenced to death by starvation (no food and water), because he stole a loaf of bread.

After he was sentenced, his daughter Pero pleaded to the officials of the court to grant her entrance to visit her father in prison until his death. Pero request was granted. With the instruction that she will not take anything with her into the prison. Pero was often checked by guards before she enters the prison.

The caring daughter (who was with a baby) seeing her father dying of thirst and hunger, she was moved to breastfeed him. She continued to breastfeed him whenever she was allowed into the prison.

Weeks pass by and Cimon was still alive. This got the officials confused. The guards never knew that the man's daughter was sustaining her father's life. The officials setup investigation.

During the investigation she was eventually caught and arrested. Everyone was moved by her action including the guards.

When she was brought before the judge. The judge was surprised by her actions and the length she could went for her father. The judge was moved. And he ordered for her release and he also ordered for the release of her father.

The story is documented in the Roman historic books. And has been immortalized by a statue on top of annex of the Belfry of Ghent in Antwerp, Belgium.

The story above is popularly known as the Roman Charity.

THE URGES OF PORNOGRAPHY

TOPIC_PORNOGRAPHY.

This is a theme that has painfuly authored and finished some people's biography.It has fought its way into popularity to the extent that its now one of the top ranking addictions.You hear people sound like

"hey Elijah, I've tried and tried but I just can't stop" "Today I will make a resolution not to go through any porn site but at 12 AM, when all is dead silent except my sexual urges that won't just keep quiet, I find myself feeding on some pornographic meal just to ease my sexual appetite."

The world can tell you

"Hey pornography isn't wrong, its just you reacting to your natural feelings"

but as a Christian hope you know God won't tell you that? If it ain't wrong I hope you watch it with your mom, dad, family and friends, I hope you don't clear your browser history cos of shame (why feel ashamed of something that's not wrong?). The feeling you get when you're caught in the pornographic act is different from the feeling you get when making out with your wife.

The bible said;

"we feel ashamed when the light shines over the deeds we indulge in at night".

This discussion isn't about what's good or bad in pornography If you're reading this because you're tired of the reiterate cuffs pornography has on you, then let's go on.

Pornography is cited when explicit nude materials (Videos, photos, etc) are engaged in when one seeks for a way out whenever his or her sexual urges arises. Research has it that more men are involved in pornography than women.

Let's come back to our daily life.

WHY PORNOGRAPHY

most people feel and think that the sin of wanking (Masturbation) and fornication is way bigger than pornography but they're wrong Jesus said;

"... If you look at a lady and picture her in a sexual imagination, you've fornicated..."

meaning pornography isn't far fetched.

You may say;

"Bro. Elijah I was turned on, my sexual urges triggered by my independent hormones set my whole body on fire and I needed to cool the crave that's why I took the pornographic turn" but you and I know that "Just this once and I won't do it again" are the first statements of most addicts. It may kill the crave for that day but it will heighten the next one since it seems you've now found a way out.

POINTS TO NOTE.

1). To fight pornography, you need to pray. You need to call out to the King and the one who has never suffered any witness. You can't just bank on your self-control and willingness not to fall. You need someone bigger than you and this can't happen till you PRAY and cry out to your Father who's in heaven.

2). Stop being idle. An idle mind gets employed by the devil and one trick against your sexual urge is to be disciplined. If you watch pornography by 10 pm when you're jobless, put in an activity to fill in that apace when you decide to give up on pornography.

3). You need to learn how to stop pretending. Know what turns you on and stay away from it. It can be chats, movies, music videos etc. When we were little, we always close our eyes when he's about to kiss her but now its our parents who look the other way.

4). Guide what goes into your mind via your eyes (the bible in Matthew said ... The eyes is a doorway into your mind and you're the light of the world, if you feed your mind with darkness through your eyes, imagine how dark the world would be?) Your brain registers what you see especially the naughty things and it will cheerfully replay them in your hour of seriousness or idlenes). Your hormones and sexual urges can't be turned off but you can turn your phone off. Its quite hard resisting a tempting temptation but that's what makes victory sweeter.

6). Pornographic temptation is high amongst singles and virgins. Yuppie. You can't stop fantasizing about the first experience and how you want it to be. The urges are heightened daily so you keep looking for a way to suppress it since you're not in immoral relationships like others where fornication is legal, you find a way out unknown to you, the way out was a way into addiction.

7). Does Jesus hate you cause you're watching pornography?

No, off course not but he hates the fact that you're watching it, it makes him sad like the whips and nails He took was just for nothing like you didnt understand when He said "Your body is the temple of God".

8). What do I stand to gain by getting addicted to pornography: you gain a lot of nothing. You're gonna be like a hungry fella who just can't get satisfied. But you'll be losing a lot. As a Christian you're gonna be stuck going over the guilty man's prayer. You're gonna lose concentration. Your achievements will be shortened. Believe it or not you won't be your best. Have you seen how less productive you are watching movies throughout the day, this time your mind will be less productive.

9). You're gonna develop a sexual appetite that can't be satisfied. As a lady you're gonna be sounding like "he's too small" etc. Cos you've fantasized about what you want no matter how dirty so when you don't get it on your matrimonial sex bed, you become angry and that's where adultery comes into play.

10). Can I break the addiction: Definitely Yes. Jesus can help you break the addiction. You might have tried tons of times and given up but hey, you haven't tried Jesus, have you

So today, change your mindset, stop bothering about how you wanna stop watching the pornography and start leaving like you've never heard the word pornography.

I love you too.

Mr. Elijah

6 SECRETS TO NEVER TELL ANYONE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE

"Have you ever told someone more they need to know "?

"Have you had a phone conversation and thereafter regret saying more than you should"?

Well, you are not alone..... This article is just for you,

Continue reading....

The truth is that most of us have a habit of wearing our hearts on our sleeves (openly showing our feelings or emotions rather than keep them hidden). This makes us an open book even to strangers. Which we definitely do not want – as mystery is the spice of life, after all. It becomes important then to keep a clear distinction between your personal life and your professional life no matter how difficult it may. You should be picky about who you share your secrets with, because the sad reality of life is that it is not everyone has good intentions.

Consequently, you need to be careful to make sure that the details of your personal life can’t be used to hurt you in anyway. This is why it is useful to have a basic list of certain personal information you should never share with others. In case you do not know how to make your own list, this article should guild you. In this piece, I have compiled some secrets you should always try to keep to yourself, no matter how strong the urge to share them with people becomes.

Joan Collins once said that “The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.”

6 SECRETS TO NEVER TELL ANYONE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE

1. Material Belongings

We all know too well that certain things in life are far more important than their cost. But sometimes, we simply can not help but brag about that new car we got or the latest phone we just bought at an exclusive price.

As much as Parks and Recreation might tell you otherwise, I don't think your colleagues want to know about how you’ve been treating yourself.

They may perceive you as being arrogant and overtly obsessed with the monetary value of things rather than their unique significance. You should try and be modest in your conversations.

2. Past Resentments

There is certainly going to be negative stories to tell about people you do not like. This could be related to a schoolmate or former colleague that you held a grudge against years ago – and maybe still do? Yeah, same here.)

But the best thing to do is to let go of these feelings and not discuss them especially in public. This will be of much benefit to you as much as it'd be to those you would have shared them with because negativity is exhausting. Not just to feel but also to listen to.

People prefer having conversation positive partners, who will provide interesting insights – not ones who groan about some other people they do not even know. Get rid of whatever’s weighing you down and simply focus on the present. You’ll find that more and more people will be keen to talk to you.

3. Family Problems

Don't spread your family's undies in public. Whether it is your extended family or your blood relatives, keeping the problems in the family is best. Don’t abuse the trust they've placed on you.

You were told those secrets because you are close to these people, but that is not a licence to start spreading them around to everyone in your social circle. They confided in you, and breaking that confidence is the worst thing you could possibly do. Be careful of other people’s secrets. In return, you can expect for them to treat you the same

4. Your Income

Your income should be known only by your bank. Money is never a nice subject to talk about in public because you never know what anyone’s financial situation looks like. It may look like you’re bragging without meaning to.

Money – and knowledge about finances – can mar relationships irreparably. Once your financial situation becomes public knowledge, people just start seeing you differently without being able to help it. Save yourself from such awkward situation by keep the details of your income to your bank statements.

You also do not know who to trust in this regards as you may be inviting robbers to scammers to rob you of your hard earned money.

5. Good Deeds

Good deeds always attracts good karma. You should never be discouraged from doing good – however, if you start bragging about it, it takes on a whole different perspective. Once you brag about something good that you’ve done, you’re making it all about yourself, thus invalidating the good that you’ve already created.

A lot of the great philanthropists in the world choose to remain anonymous for a very good reason. When you do a charitable deed, you want the attention to be on the people or the cause that you are helping and not on yourself.

6. Your Future Goals

You may object to this opinion, but there is actually a science behind the fact that you’re much more likely to achieve your long-term goals if you do not share them with others. When you tell people about your future aspirations, it begins to feel like the enjoyment of achieving the goal has been taken from you.

As a result of this, you would barely work as hard towards it. It is therefore important to keep your goals to yourself, however, as you have a much higher chance of achieving them. And once you have done that, you can go ahead and tell the whole world about it.
