I am training all my children and youth, no matter how young how to be BOLD, OUTSPOKEN AND FEARLESS just like me.
I love when I see them in action. If they tend to want to get out of hand though, I know perfectly how to bring them right back around IN LOVE without shouting or hitting them or calling them degrading names.
I am no dumb! I know when to have CHURCH and I know perfectly WELL WHEN TO PLAY POLITICS. I am also teaching them from SMALL that THEY ALL CAN BE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO BE IN LIFE AND NEVER LET TALKERS AND GOSSIPERS STOP THEM as they DO NOT MOVE ME ONE INCH. HATERS are my MOTIVATION! Without them, I honestly wouldn't be so far on in business, in ministry and in POLITICS. I LOVE HATERS!
I think that the most brilliant children and youth debaters in The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis happen to hang around me. Sheep usually follow they Shepherd - RIGHT? A LOT of them want to be PRIME MINISTER TOO - LOL! Since many of them are very assertive and outspoken like me or quiet and DEEP THINKERS like me, I can see that all the future Prime Ministers of St. Kitts and Nevis under a Blazing Star Movement Administration - www.theblazingstarmovement.com would come out of Dare 2 Be Different International Ministries- www.daretobedifferentskn.com.
I honestly don't teach them politics though. Some of their parents tell them that they are going by The Next Prime Minister so some call me Brother Khrystus and others call me NEXT PRIME MINISTER. With children, they like to follow each other so you already know that those are my two names. My little children said that they won't let the POLICE take me again. I always answer OK but I am sometimes get scared as to what they would do, because a few weeks ago, we did hear about a 14 year old getting arrested on a TERRORIST CHARGE FOR THROWING A HOMEMADE BOMB IN THE NEVIS POLICE STATION.
Dear Lord, Please help my children not to do that if The Duggie Sends The Police for me again and to always DO RIGHT NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES as we know that, because of the internet and technology, CHILDREN AND YOUTHS are learning way too fast about EVERYTHING and therefore becoming INDEPENDENT THINKERS at a very early age.
I train my youth to be AMBITIOUS - OVERLY AMBITIOUS and we do A LOT OF AMBITIOUS THINGS. About two months ago, we started raising funds for OUR BIKERS FOR JESUS PROJECT.
Under this project, we want all youths apart of Dare 2 Be Different International Victory Centre to get a BMX Bicycle for Christmas 2014 so we can officially KICK OFF our plans at the start of JANUARY 2015. YES - WITHOUT VISION THE PEOPLE PERISH!
Once it's God's will, IT WILL HAPPEN! Each Youth including me and other ADULTS apart of our ministry will get to constantly spread the MESSAGE OF JESUS SAVES along with other positive messages around The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis on our BMX BICYCLES wearing T-shirts screen printed by my business KVK ENTERPRISES - www.kvklives.com
So, last night while I was writing down many of their FUND RAISING IDEAS as quickly as they were talking and brain storming that they want to execute starting this summer, the idea was raised to start selling snacks. I try not to get too involved in what they are planning, except to help them carry out their plans and ideas. They feel a sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT when what we plan actually comes to pass with most of their ideas in place.
I was a bit too inquisitive when I interjected and said that we can START SELLING SODAS TOO.
In a matter of seconds after my statement, one of my BOLD BRILLIANT 11 YEAR OLD YOUTHS rebuffed my statement by saying. "That's Not A Very Good Idea Brother Khrystus!"
She asked, "How much for a case of sodas and how much comes in the case and how much money would we be making?"
I answered, "It's about $53 or $54 dollars and 24 comes in the case."
As I was about to calculate how much money we can probably make off a case towards our Bicycle Project, she said. "We ain't selling NO SODAS Brother Khrystus. We going to open LEMONADE STANDS. We ain't go no money to buy sodas."
I smiled and said very good idea! I am also very aware that in meetings, all sorts of brilliant ideas always come up, but when its time to carry them out, very few are there, but as YOUTH, I didn't say this loudly to bash their ENERGY AND THINKING.
It does seem like the children love when THEY WIN THOUGH! So of course they cheered on the little girl who BOLDLY OPPOSED ME.
I've paused out of my Saturday and written all of this to tell you ONE THING. "Let your children express themselves. Don't be too quick to rebuff them and shut them up and humiliate them especially in front of other people or other children and hurt their feelings. Your children also have brilliant ideas and you would develop a much BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CHILD / CHILDREN when you let them HAVE A SAY TOO - even in the household!"
This is one of the reasons why Children LOVE Brother Khrystus. At our ministry, they get to dance around, jump up and down and express themselves while we are singing and worshiping God. (YES WE ARE ONE CRAZY CHURCH - JUST LIKE CRAZY BROTHER KHRYSTUS - That's why its sooooo much fun!)
They get a chance to play the tambourines and since we don't have our drum set as yet, then every chair and table becomes drums as they sing along loudly as I play either the guitar or keyboard. Most importantly, when I'm preaching or teaching, I always stop and let them HELP me, by letting them share their stories or ask questions pertaining to the sermon or Bible Study scripture or Children's Bible Story.
This is how we should be training our children around the world today. We should be giving them a lot of LOVE, CARE AND ATTENTION and letting them EXPRESS THEMSELVES - YES EXPRESS THEMSELVES! Stop HITTING THEM AND SHOUTING AT THEM SO MUCH - JUST SET BOUNDARIES AND YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
Try it and you'll see that they will begin to OPEN UP MORE!
Always use REWARDS too! Rewards doesn't have to be MONEY or SNACKS or GIFTS all the time. A LITTLE certificate marked OUTSTANDING or BRILLIANT or HELPFUL or SUPERSTAR makes them feel on top of the world and give them something to SHOW THEIR FRIENDS that their MOMMY OR DADDY OR GRANNY OR AUNT OR UNCLE LOVES THEM.
Honestly - Children DON'T WANT MONEY OR KFC KID'S MEAL OR DOMINOES PIZZA OR CHURCHES OR CHESTER'S CHICKEN OR ICE CREAM ALL THE TIME!
They won't tell you, but honestly sometimes all they need is YOUR LOVE AND TIME - A LOT OF LOVE AND A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR TIME IF YOU CAN"T GIVE THEM A LOT OF YOUR TIME.
JUST YOUR LOVE AND YOUR TIME AND YOUR TENDER I CARE.
I listen to their stories! I listen to them talk in their little groups over the years. One of the most common statements they make is this, "My mommy and my daddy always TOO BUSY FOR ME!"
They'll NEVER tell you that in front your face because they don't know how to SAY IT AND IF YOU'LL BEAT THEM! But children also have LIFE and have STORIES TO TELL and many times they tell their STORIES TO OTHERS - since you are JUST WAY TO BUSY FOR THEM!
