Can a pastor assist his child to become a business man and run his own business?

I know what you are thinking of. In-between the busy schedule of a minister, how would he have the time to do that? Time management is a skill every minister learns in the first few years of service, hence I believe a minister can raise a business man/woman. 

Proof of this, Papa back in the days was a famous stubborn troublemaker, a bully whom father ensured was taken to the shop after school to be taught stock taking, costing, etc.

Today, Papa is a leader, business man, quiet, calm and collected without getting an ass whooping from his parents. What makes it more interesting is that these changes occurred overtime and were more evident when he was miles away from his parents and could only communicate with them over the phone. How was his dad able to have helped him even after he moved?

Let me give you a hint; 

Phone Calls, yes my dears, over the phone! With every call made, approval was given to run for any leadership position and also a task was given; incomplete financial report sent to be completed. Growth was in the mistakes he made, corrections given and decision he took to hit his target.

Creating time in your busy schedule for your children can't be overemphasize. Sharpshooters aren't created over night. You need to clear up your  schedule dear parents, if you plan on raising kids that will make you proud in the future.

Join us this evening as we give you a few guidelines on how to help your kids hit the target.

Sharp Shooters

 One of the many success stories that intrigue me is that of Dr. Ben Carson. I have read a few of his books and he never fails to tell the story over and over again.

As the story goes, he was an inner-city kid who struggled through school for a period of time and was termed 'Dummy'. He settled for whatever came his way and believed that was how it was meant to be until his mum decided to take the bull by its horn. He was  required to read 2 books every week and submit a book report at the end of the week to his mum. Over time, he went from being at the bottom of the class to being at the top of the class. He went from being just an inner-city kid who lived in Detroit to an international icon who became a symbol of hope to many young people. 

One of the major player in Dr. Ben Carson's success story was his mum. Just like any parent, she wanted the best for her boys and she mastered the art of hitting the target, she understood what it took to have a better life and future and taught it to her boys who later became great men.

Just like Sonya Carson, you can master the art of hitting the target and guide your kids to do the same. 

Join us on the 27th of January 2023 as we give you tips on how to help your kids hit their targets.

Sharp Shooter

 It was quite inspiring listening to Christie narrate a story of a young girl named Maria who set a goal to improve her grades in school. Maria struggled with certain subjects, particularly math, and felt discouraged by her grades. With the support and encouragement of her parents, Maria set a clear goal to raise outshine her peers by the end of the school year.

Maria and her parents worked together to break down this goal into smaller steps. They created a study schedule, set specific targets for each subject, and sought out additional resources such as tutoring and educational apps to help Mariaa improve her understanding of math concepts.

As Maria progressed through the school year, she diligently followed her study schedule and consistently worked on improving her grades. Her parents provided ongoing support, checking in on her progress, offering guidance, and celebrating her achievements along the way. Maria's hard work and determination paid off, and by the end of the school year, she had not only improved her grades in math but also raised her overall position, achieving her target.

To celebrate Maria's achievement, her parents organized a small family gathering to recognize her hard work and dedication. Maria was proud of herself and felt motivated to continue setting and achieving goals in the future. 

To our parents/guardians, this story never talked about comparing your kids with others but rather demonstrates the power of setting clear goals, breaking them down into manageable steps, and providing support and encouragement to achieve success and make them hit their target.

SHARP SHOOTERS

Being a Sharp shooters as I have learnt today isn't just about being dedicated or consistent, it's about having love and passion for what you do as well. Today I want to take you on a journey into the programming world.

A programmer is someone who writes/creates computer software or applications generally by providing instructions (commonly through the use of a specific programming language) to the computer or by configuring already existing code (such as a framework or existing code base).

In our world today, we have a lot of amazing programmers whose work speaks for them. We can call the likes of Alan Turing, Ada Lovelace, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. who are  sharp shooters in their industry because they're always hitting their mark; the evidence of what I am talking about are Facebook and Microsoft - brain babies of 2 amazing programmers being used by 3.03 billion and 1.4 billion people respectively.

As parents, the schools we enroll our children matters a lot as it'd contribute majorly in their lives. I have an amazing friend called Ebuka, who is on his way to becoming a well known programmer, he had first heard about programming in school at age 16, and started programming at age 19. With the help of YouTube, his senior colleague and his passion for programming he was able to face all the obstacles that came his way, which helped him  become consistent, and now he hits the targets he sets for himself. 

  

It's never too late, your kids too can become sharp shooters in their chosen field with your assistance. Retrace your steps now and join us on the 27th of January as we guide you through the process of creating sharp shooters.

Sharp shooters are a unique breed of individuals who possess exceptional marksmanship skills and precision in shooting. Whether in the military, law enforcement, or competitive sports, sharp shooters play a crucial role in ensuring accuracy and efficiency in various shooting scenarios. Their expertise and proficiency with firearms make them an invaluable asset in situations that require pinpoint accuracy and quick reflexes.

One of the most prominent areas where sharp shooters excel is in the military. In combat situations, the ability to eliminate threats with precision and accuracy is paramount. Sharp shooters undergo rigorous training to hone their shooting skills, including long-range shooting, target acquisition, and tactical positioning. Their proficiency allows them to take out enemy combatants from a distance, reducing the risk to their own forces and civilians.

In law enforcement, sharp shooters are essential for handling high-risk situations such as hostage rescues, armed standoffs, and active shooter incidents. Their ability to neutralize threats with minimal collateral damage is critical in maintaining public safety. Sharp shooters are often called upon to provide overwatch during high-profile events or to apprehend dangerous suspects in urban environments where precision and restraint are essential.

As a parent yearning to groom a sharp shooter you can attest that the training and discipline required to become a sharp shooter cannot be understated. It takes years of practice, dedication, and mental focus to develop the level of skill required to excel.

DEAREST DADDY

 

 My Father's Soul,

Cross River State,

Nigeria,

Africa.

14th August, 2023.

Dearest Daddy,

I can imagine the surprise on your face when you receive this letter because I know you believe I don't like you hence I would not write you, right?! but you are wrong. I write this letter to you because I have been meaning to have a conversation with you about this but have not built up enough courage for a face to face meeting plus I believe you will understand me better than my mother. Contrary to what you may believe, both you and my mother have helped and taught me a lot of things and one happens to be helping me cultivate my belief system. Yes, you read it right, you and my mother helped me cultivate my belief system (my core beliefs). I know it is shocking, I never knew parents contributed to the building of a child's belief system, I only just discovered this after reading an article written by Terry Levy on "how memory shapes core beliefs in early childhood". According to Terry, early experiences with caregivers (Parents) shape a child’s core beliefs about self, others, and life in general. He said that it is necessary to understand how memory works to appreciate the way core beliefs form and affect a child’s life. Memory links our past, present and future. Images stored in the brain become expectations about future events. 

He also stated that there are two types of memory that develop in the early years: Implicit and Explicit memory. Implicit memory is present at birth. An infant’s brain is capable of creating mental models that involve images and emotions based on experiences with caregivers. Implicit memory does not involve conscious processing but affects the baby’s behavior and reactions. For example, babies with secure attachments have positive images encoded in their minds. They sense unconsciously that parents are safe, nurturing, and dependable and anticipate more loving care in the future. Insecurely attached babies encode negative images. They may sense parents as being threatening, unloving, and unavailable and learn to expect continued harsh or neglectful treatment. Whilst the Explicit memory develops by the age of 2. A child is now learning language, has conscious awareness, and can remember himself in a specific past event. By now, the toddler can bring up a sensory image of her parent or caregiver, including pictures, body sensations and emotions. The secure child feels calm and relaxed. The insecure child feels anxious and tense.

Early childhood experiences are encoded in the brain. Emotional experiences of nurturance and protection are encoded in the brain’s limbic area, the emotional center. Over time, repeated encoded experiences become internal working models (or core beliefs) about self, self in relation to others, and the world in general. These core beliefs become the lens through which children (and later adults) view themselves and others, especially authority and attachment figures. Core beliefs serve to interpret the present and anticipate the future. You get what you expect, and your expectations are based on past experiences. The brain is an anticipation machine.

He went ahead to said that children’s core beliefs become deeply ingrained and operate outside of conscious awareness, affecting how they perceive themselves and interpret events and social situations. Children who lack secure and loving attachments commonly blame themselves and develop a self-image as helpless, bad and unlovable. These children see danger even when it is not there. They misinterpret social cues, assume the worst and overreact emotionally and behaviorally. The result is ongoing conflict with parents and peers, aggressive and controlling behavior and further damage to self-esteem.

Honestly, when I read that article, it felt like I was in church and the Pastor had just dropped one hot rhema. The article served as an eye opener to me and I needed to share it with you so you could see where I got majority of my beliefs from, how I was able to cultivate my belief and why I do certain things that I do. I know I need help with changing most of my beliefs yea!, but I'd rather my parents also get to see that I need help and help me get the help that I need. I feel alone, mad and uncertain. I am tried of all our constant fights and I have taken a step to seeking help hence this letter. I honestly do hope that you would get what I am trying to say. Also I apologize for all of my recent behaviours, I am truly sorry. God bless and I love you.

Your daughter,

Tete Bee
