Psalms 66. A Song Of Praise And Thanksgiving. Praise To God For His Awesome Works

To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm

1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: 2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. 4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. 5 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 6 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 10 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 11 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 12 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.

13 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, 14 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 15 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. 16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. 17 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Can You Keep A Secret? Child Sexual Abuse!

Children Series Part 6[8+]

 

 

 

 

Emeka’s Story! (13 years Old)

 

 

My parents had to travel to Enugu to see grandpa because he was very ill. Aunty Esther our house help took care of my younger brother and I while they were away. One night, I was asleep in my room, when she walked in, sat on my bed and touched my body. I woke up startled. She smiled at me and left my room. I was really scared, I couldn’t sleep that night. Again the next day, she came into my room, she touched my private body part and asked me to keep it a secret. I felt very unhappy and confused. I had a feeling it was wrong and I wanted to tell mum and dad, but I was scared because Aunty Esther threatened to kill me if my parents know about our “Little Secret”. Then I heard about good and bad secrets. I knew it was a bad secret, so I told Mum and Dad.

 

 

 

 

 

GOOD SECRETS

“Tomorrow is your mother’s birthday; I want to give her a surprise gift. Please do not tell her”, says daddy.

“Your daddy will be back from US tomorrow, I want to surprise him with a welcome party, please do not tell him when he calls”

These are good secrets as they will not be kept for long. Good secrets make you happy and excited and you will eventually tell someone about it later.

BAD SECRETS

Bad secrets make you unhappy and sad. It can also make you feel nervous. Some bad secrets are:

When an adult touches or fondles your breast and he says, “Please don’t tell anyone about this”.

“If you tell your mum, I will kill you”.

“Or if you tell your mummy, she won’t believe you anyway”. Now, that is a bad secret.

When a teenager plays with any of your private body parts and he or she says “Let this be a secret between us. I will buy you something if you do not tell” That is also a bad secret.

Do not keep bad secrets, it will hurt and haunt you later

If an adult tells you not to tell your parents, or anyone then you really need to tell them.

It is totally wrong for you to obey an adult, older boy or girl that asks you not to tell your parents anything.

Do not keep secrets that make you feel bad inside. It’s okay to break a promise you made to an adult not to tell about sexual abuse.

 

GO AHEAD – TELL! TELL!! AND TELL AGAIN……………………….!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalms 65. Praise and Thanksgiving. Praise to God for His Salvation and Providence

To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David

1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: 7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. 10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Psalms 64. A prayer for protection. Oppressed by the wicked but rejoicing in the LORD

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? 6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. 8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. 9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. 10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Keeping your body safe from sexual abuse

Ruth’s Story

I really liked my lesson teacher, Uncle Joe because he teaches me very well. He first touched my laps one evening when we were alone in the reading room. I looked at him with surprise. At first I taught it was a mistake. But the act continued and he even brushed my breast with his hands. I then knew this was getting out of hand. I told him to stop it, but he looked at me and asked, “Are you not enjoying it? I remembered being told that my body belongs to me and I have the right to reject any touch that makes me feel uncomfortable. I warned him never to touch me again, but he continued. Then I ran out of the room and told my mum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Private Body Parts

Some parts of your body are private, meaning they should not be touched without any good reason.

The Boy’s private part is called penis, while Girls have two private body parts namely: Breast and Vagina.

But boys and girls have anus, buttocks and laps.

For girls, you have a right to say “NO!” to anyone who wants to touch your vagina, breasts, anus, laps and buttocks.

For boys, you have a right to say “NO!” to anyone who wants to touch your penis, buttocks, laps and anus.

They are special parts of the body that are covered for privacy, that’s why they are called “Private Body Parts”. You have all the right to say “NO!” to any adult, friend or grown-up who wants to touch any of your private body parts except when a doctor is doing a medical examination on you. But if it hurts, let the doctor know how you feel.

You also have a right to say “NO!” when a grown-up wants to hug, carry or kiss you. If you do not feel comfortable, you can courteously refuse hugging or kissing anyone.

There are two types of touches:

Normal Touches

When someone touches you, you will get a feeling inside e.g. A hug from mummy when you come back from school, or when you do something good. A handshake is also a good touch. Normal touches are not harmful.

Abnormal Touches

This touch makes you feel bad, uncomfortable and scared. A touch is abnormal when a grown-up touches your private parts making you feel funny. You don’t have to keep it a secret when someone gives you an abnormal touch; because your body belongs to you. It is also an abnormal touch if anyone forces or asks you to touch him or her, say “NO!” to whoever gives you a bad touch. Tell the person “I don’t like it!” and the touching must stop immediately.

If the person continues, call for help and get away from him or her. Scream as loud as you can. You will not be punished for shouting. Get help and tell a trusted adult. Never stay alone with that person again.

It is unsafe to play “The Touch Games” with grown-up or anyone at all. These are games played using parts of the body. Tell the adult you don’t like such games.

Your body is precious and belongs to you.

Keep it safe!

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!
