Uncle Josiah has been with the Jabneh Christian Academy family for as long as ever and in different capacities. He once was an extraordinary icon who aced his programme here and had a number of CXC’ by the time he was twelve years old.

He is also one of our first icons to sit the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music Examination here at Jabneh.

He is an excellent musician and seeks to be the world’s greatest in this field. As a result, he will transition from being a member of Jabneh’s dedicated team to a student at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts .

We are clear that he will do what icons do -be excellent in all his endeavours!

We are sure that he is a trendsetter and will lead his generation into freedom through excellent, godly music.

Uncle Usiah, as he is affectionately called by the Early Stimulation Unit, we will miss you, however, it is our pleasure to release you to chase your dreams and become all that destiny desires.

Take the time to visualize your end. This will be one of the most valuable thing you could do for yourself. Having a clear vision of the end will help you live every day in a manner that will cause your mental creation of the end to manifest in reality.

We declare grace, peace, truth and excellence upon you.

Go light your world, uncle Josiah!

Shanice Howard, icon number 007, gained entrance to St. Andrew High School for Girls having sat the then GSAT in 2008. She was a part of the first batch of Jabneh icons to sit the GSAT examination.

Ephesians 4:32

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

As a leader in the church and many other capacities, I have learnt that some people dread the realities of paradigm shifts.

You see, we are prone to vengeance and like Jonah, would rather see or hear that those who would have successful gain a spot in our black books receive our idea of a just reward. Anything other than our ideas irritates us to even being upset with God.

It is hardly likely that you have not had a pretty plausible reason to withhold the gift of forgiveness from those who have wounded, disregarded, disrespected, disappointed, violated, abused and trespassed against you.

Yet, the Spirit of the Lord calls out to you today asking you to forgive them. It is not about letting them go; it’s about letting you go. Forgive frees you more than it does others.

A paradigm shift stands the chance to be history in the making. You might have to do what you have never done before.

They have had no right to have treated you the way they did. Take a seat for the game changer. You do not have that right either to treat you the way you have been doing.

Why is it so important that you hold on to offenses and take them with you whithersoever thou goest!

Matthew 6 sets the principle of forgiveness in motion. This is it. Forgive us…as we forgive.

Come, let us cast offenses into the sea.

Lay your hand on yourself today as we pray.

Lord, I have always known that I should do unto others as I would want them to do to me. The truth is, I’ve not always observed this. As a result, I have sown seed that I have reaped. Help , me today, Lord.

Deliver me from every brutal tendency and show me how to be kind to others. Teach me to be tender-hearted and to forgive others because Christ, My Lord, has forgiven me.

Amen.

Paradigm Shift

Psalms 23:2

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

OMG! It’s twenty-nine days already. We have just about two more days left on this journey. Well, well, to God be all the glory.

For a few days now I have been mentioning the term paradigm shift. Let us take a closer look at it today.

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines a paradigm shift to be an important change that happens when the usual way of thinking about or doing something is replaced by a new and different way. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/paradigm%20shift

We all experience paradigm shifts of one magnitude or the other. Children are included in the set. Though paradigm shifts are so common, many persons are unaware of them occurring in their lives.

Paradigm shifts can affect us negatively and positively. Here are a few questions for you.

• Are you able to recognise when paradigm shifts are occurring in your children’s lives?
• Are you aware that paradigm shifts can be difficult to maneuver?
• Do you know that your children need your support when they are going through these shifts?

Children experience paradigm shifts in a number of ways. Here are a few examples.

• when parents are experiencing conflicts
• when parents divorce
• when parents exhibit stress and strain due to lack, sickness, limitations of whatever nature,
• when they change grades whether it is a promotion or a demotion,
• when they change school,
• when they have a new teacher, friend, stepparent, pastor, neighbour or even a new nanny,
• holidays,
• When they are being filed for,
• We they reach pubescence.
• when additional persons are in their homes,
• when persons leave the home for work, school or through migration.
• when a new child is born,
• when parents change or lose jobs, etc.

Let us Pray

Father, help us as parents to be present-minded to our children.

Grant us, Dear Jesus, a decerning spirit, keen eyes and hearts of compassion. Amen
