AN OPEN LETTER FOR MY UNBORN CHILD.
My dear child,am sorry for not being with you the time you needed me the most.
But I pray you take hid to my words as your father.I am writing this for your own benefit,me being present or assent before you arrived from mum's womb, I want you to be strong and be courageous.A know matter what happened,
I will do anything within my power to lay for you a strong foundation that know man can break if only you stray between the boundary my words.You may not have all experience of life you need to go through, that is why as your father, I want to lay this down for you that when you grown up to become a man you will not depart from it.
Remember my child that you are coming to a world full of evil and wickedness in high places.
I don't want you to have the mind that you are coming into this world to relax or over comfortable,NO!
Be ready to fight and win the battles of life my child.
I don't want you to be like me,you must fight your ways through to be greater than me.I don't want you to be a physical soldier like me,be a spiritual soldier one who can conquered the spiritual and the physical.
I will do everything within my power to show you the way, to lead you right and to bring out my best to you as a father.
But I have some few things must speak to you about,if you can take this in and act on it, your whole life will be changed for the better.
My child, know that behind every successful in life there is always an helper.The first thing I want you to think of in this whole wild world is how you can please your creator.
Why do I say this my child, because he is the only one that knows the best for you.He is the potter and you are the clay.
when you give all of your self to him,he will take care of you more than me. I don't know if I can make it from this mission.
That is why I want to commit you into is hand and you may have a good future child.
My child, I want to introduce you to your creator,the one who form you in mum's womb.
Without him your journey to earth to earth is useless, without him you can't make it.Is name is Jesus Christ, the my parents also gave me to when I was a kid.
My you to know this person very well and don't forget that his name is (Jesus Christ)
Because there is another one pretending to be like that person but he not, his name is Satan the devil the wicked one. I don't want you to have any relationship with Satan and his children, they are up to know good, they will only end up destroying your life.
I want you to know the difference between the very well.
God is a creator/Satan is a creature.
God is a the king of all/Satan is a servant.
God is a very good and caring father/Satan pretend to be good, but full of evil.
God is a stepping stone/Satan is a stormy block.
God is a helper of all/Satan is a destroyer.
God is a way maker/Satan is a way breaker.
God rewards faithfulness/Satan after using you, will kill you.
Please my child, don't give Satan attention because he will give you direction that will lead to your destruction.Why should I serve a creature, when there is a creator?
Don't make that mistakes my child.
You can see the attributes of God and Satan.
Make God a superior over your life and Satan an inferior.
Why do you need to know this my child?
Is because this are the two forces ruling this world, the one you surrender to will take over your destiny and become your master.
l don't want you to make this mistakes,I don't want you to be a victim of circumstances,I don't want you to be a tools or instrument in the hands of Satan,I don't want you to live a wasted life,I don't want you to end up in vanity that will lead to your destruction.
I may not have this opportunity to speak to you again, please my child, I don't want you to pass through the same lamentation I am passing through right now.
Don't learn in hard ways, to avoid all this mischief, there is only one thing to do, have the fear of God in you, that is the beginning of wisdom.
My child, wisdom does not come from the north, east, west, or the south, the only source of wisdom is God.
If you must succeed in this world you are coming to, you must acknowledge your creator in all things because every good and perfect gift came from him.
Don't allow any body intimidate you because of you believe.
Listen carefully my child, why I decided to bring this first is because God is the first you need to know as my child.
Others parents may not teach there children this way, but I chose to because I want the best for you.
They may not teach there child the right way, but I chose to because God will require you from me if I lead you wrong on the day of judgement.
l don't want to have any issues with God because of you my child, I can't survive it.
Make God your absolute, then he will be your guide.
Do this for me as I turned to another segment.
Don't associates with Satan and don't have any relationship with any of his children.
There are few things I want you to beware of,I will make this so plain enough that you may be confused.
I presume you may be a boy child, avoid this three things and you will become the next king.
(1) DON'T GIVE YOUR SELF TO TOO MUCH WINE.
(2) DON'T BE A REPROACH TO THE NAME OF GOD.
(3) DON'T REST On ANOTHER MAN STRENGTH, FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN.
(Distriction)
COMMANDER JACK:Get ready soldiers we are almost close to the camp of the enemies and our journey must begin from here.
We can't lose for what will about to face in next 10hrs.
The hard way,the only way, each other have a job, and you must protect one another.
ALL TROOPS: Dropping from the aircraft with parashutes in action.
If you want to change the world start of by making your bed,there is know obstacle in the way you can't conquer.If you should learn anything, learn the power of hope.
They all landed on a hill and in far distance,the enemies looked like ants flowing around there there camps.
COMMANDER JACK: (a call from the troops stationed) we all landed safely and is just 1:am, and I think we are almost close to the enemies,we may need a back up any moment from one(copy)!
THE TROOPS STATIONED:(copy)as soon possible we make the arrangements for the other teams,we are at your service anytime sir.Different movement in the station and some carrying out different activities.
COMMANDER JACK: We must stay here till 4:00am in the morning,and all soldiers will deploy to fight the opponent.
(They all spread on the hill as they watch out every moment of the enemies) in the middle of there arrangement, Alexander brought out the juitter to continue is writing.
(chapter one)
DON'T GIVE YOUR SELF TO TOO MUCH WINE
My child, you will be a fool if you live all your whole life just for pleasure.Don't behave like that man behind my street who will labor through the the week and spend all in a grove hall.
This is one big problem and one quick way to consume your income without know result. You must be careful on this because this as lead many to lack of fulfillment in life. It as know advantage but disadvantage.
DISADVANTAGE
(1)It deminish your income
(2)It makes you made
(3)It reduce your life spans
(4)It makes you realized late
What will you do with this hazard that is capable of misleading you and you to your early grave? when you give all of your attention to drunkenness, it makes you lose val uable things that can't be redeemed.
When you allow that to happen to you, you become a victim of circumstances, you become a prey in the hands of your enemies.
When you make that your habit, it become your weaking point the enemies will use to harm you down .
My child,pay attention to this words written in this letter and allow it to settle in your heart.
It takes nothing to become a looser,but I assure you, you will definitely become a to others.
It takes nothing to become a fool,but I assure you,you will end up in vanity.
People who enjoy the pleasure of drunkenness normally find life difficult and they can use all of there saves just for pleasure.
But the truth is,it never add anything to your crown, people may clap for you,but this people will rise to mock at you because they are wiser than you.
Please my child, don't be a part of this torment, you are saved if you can learn all this am telling you.The calamity that will befall this generation it will be because of too much of pleasure.
Be vigilant and don't allow your actions puts you on mother's bench that leads you into the b*****e of poverty.
Listen to me my child,a wise man is that man who first of all build is home in good hands and make sure all is working well financially, materially, spiritually and physically,then pleasure can go in.Not that kind of pleasure that is capable of destroying life's,no!
But if there be a time for you to enjoy your self with your family, please do so my child.
I am not advising you in other to put you in b*****e,be free with people, but make friends with those who can give you a helping hand,than for you to live a vain life that is neither useful to you ,God ,or to mankind.
Too much of pleasure may gives you friends, but can't gives you comfort.It may gives you women,but can't gives you a real wife.It will make people clap for you, but can't gives you dignity.
Don't go for what can't gives you life, don't go for what can't gives you comfort,seek good things and immitate Godly character and the good things of life will follow you.
Don't allow God withdraw is honor from you my child, increase it with the life of obedient to every of is word.You will never see a soldier get drunk in the face of battles, you a soldier of Christ my child born to fight.It takes only your seriousness to makes you a winner.
Don't stop in half way my child, I know you will wonder if what am saying is true,and you may also see some people in this category and they are still prospering in it.listen as I round up this chapter with this.
People who are into this habit of drunkenness and they are still prospering in it,are those who first lay the foundation with seriousness, hardworking and determination.No matter how much they spend,they know how to replace it.
But woe to that man that have no foundation and want to imitate those who know the use of there of there money.
I am not like other father who will tie you to wicked spiritual yoke and evil convenant.I am tiering you to Jesus the center peace of all humanity.Be conscious of this for you to honor.
I pray you will take this serious, and don't forget my child, your whole life as a whole is tie to this golden knowledge.Be ready to face the truth at all time.Dad love you and cares for you.
( 3:00am some where in Africa)
COMMANDER JACK:Arise brave soldiers for the victory is already in our hands.
SOLDIERS: Coming down from the hill with actions as the battles line has been drawn.

It shall be that,as I do,so shall ye do.But becareful soldiers there are hidden trips on the way.
INSIDE THE THICK FOREST
SOLDIERS:(Scattered all over by the forest and the main target is the enemies.
COMMANDER JACK:(Instructions as they continue the movement) we must occupied every space and holds the high ground in other to frustrate the enemies (copy)
SOLDIERS:( With the help of earphones in there ears,all reply copy)
It got to an area,many lose focus on commander jack, a hidden bomb covered with dry leaves blow them and many died in sport and sustained an injury.
The enemies in the other side heard the explosion,and they noticed the present of there enemies,(preparing there selfs to fight)
MARTHIN:(The leader of the other group) Laugh!!!
It would be possible for the enemies to have there way into the camp,let me watch them perish on the way. laugh!!!! (sit in the top of a tower, holding a bottle of drink with one hand and in the other hands cigarette.
(At the other side)
COMMANDER JACK:I guess we are all surrended with hidden bomb.(Wait soldiers and all ceased to move) Here is the entrance to the camp of the enemies,but is all surrended with bomb.
We have lost many soldiers on the way, for that the enemies must go Scott free.There have to be a way to go in.(soldiers looking at each other)
PHILLIP:(One of the soldiers that sustained an injury) Sir I will make a way, that my people may have a way.He quickly sweep of him self every weapon that was with him and hand over is cap to commander jack.Phillip ran into the bomb as he was turned into pieces.
SOLDIERS:( They all moved forward as a way was created.
COMMANDER JACK: I need more ways!! give me men that are ready to die for is people.
The remaining ones who sustained an injury also runs out to give there life in other to clear the way for others.
( At the other side)
MARTIN:(Laugh!!!!) Am already seeing them perishing.Boys arrange your self's for war,we must attack them before they do.(throw away is cigarette) war time.
( At the other side)
Commander jack and the rest of the soldiers have there way in,as the enemies also take a stand against them.
All through out the month,was a bloody experience that took the life of many of the enemies, also of the soldiers as well.
And of the third months,the enemies fled into their border, and in their city where there's much multitude of people.
COMMANDER JACK:(calls for backup)
As the soldiers scatter all over the city and kill as many they can,and other companies of soldiers chase some of the enemies to the other side of the city.
Behind them was a church building, Alexander went in, and the other soldiers, both with John rest keep an eye on every side..
ALEXANDER:(drop his gun and sat down) I know time is not on my side and by this time,I know also my unborn child is about to be born.
JOHN REST: Give Alexander a sign, we will be at the other.
ALEXANDER: Okay,be with you shortly
(continued the letter)
chapter two
DON'T BE A REPROACH TO THE NAME OF GOD
This is the part I fear most, because it has to do with God.It is Dangerous for for a mere mortal men to curse God for your sake.
I will rather you bring reproach to me your father, than God.
When you think you have grown to a stage God can know longer control you, that minutes God will shame you.And that's when your troubles of life begin.That's is where so many great people who to learn this simple truth,bite the dust of shame.
Do right, that's your duty to God.Think right, that's is your duty to your self.And you are bound to come right.
This is the chapter I love to impact in you a godly character, but time will not permit me.Take advantage of what I am teaching you and live the best of life know mortal can never offer you.Though troubles of life will comesr, but when you stand for God, God will stand for you.
Here is only one thing to be conscious of, your littleness before God and you will be a man after God's heart.
Cain refused to honor God,he end up as vagabond.Esau fail to listen to instructions,then lost the birthright.Ismael thought he been the senior son is a chance to take over from his father Abraham, but he end up being a cast away.
When you think of exhalting your self before God, you will also be destroy like this men.But I have intercede for you that you should end well my child.
Let your name been written with gold and discipline your self always to obey God your creator.
(chapter three)
Don't REST ON ANOTHER MAN STRENGTH, FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN.
I am not lazy as far I am concerned.So don't learn laziness and use it to affect your destiny.Since I was born, I have always wanted to be a giver, not a receiver.
If you must succeed in this life, you must learn to take challenge for your self.My child, The desire to reach the sky is determination.If you want to lay on others strength,they may fail you and cause you more failure in life.
Don't learn the habit of beging before eating,that means you have missed the track of life.As long you have hands to work, you must daily stay focus for you to obtain greatness.
Blessing, favour, greatness, prosperity, failure, backwardness,and poverty, are hanging in the atmosphere, anyone you provoked become your destiny.
ALEXANDER:(on his to offer some prayers) Dear lord, knowing that we are mortal men full with sin, I pray that my sin should die with me, that my unborn child may have is way to you. Don't allow my sin come near him / her,I put he / her under your care and your leadership.Amen. Alexander step out of the church disarmed, losing the consciousness that he was in a battle ground.(A gun short from know where hite him on the chest) And he scream so loud.
( At the other side)
And at this time, jenny is already in the labour room, struggling to put to birth.
( At the other side)
JOHN REST:( scream nooo!!!!) John rest and the rest the soldiers quickly runs back to where Alexander was,he was laying down helpless with the jotter in is hand.John rest hold him is hand you must not die Alexander,stay with me please.
ALEXANDER:(Smile with bleed from is mouth) I know this will happen.He turned to the last chapter of the letter,I was enable to complete this chapter my child, but let your good life be the completion of this letter.He sealed it with his blood as tears run out from is eyes.
Take John rest,make sure it get to my wife jenny as he give up the ghost.
JOHN REST:(Cried bitterly) he took the jotter from his hand and they buried him in front of the church.
( At the other side)
Jenny put to birth safely,it was a baby boy.
JENNY:(holding the baby in her hands) Just as his father Alexander, how I wish he was here.
( TWO DAYS LATER)
COMMANDER JACK:( calling the troops station) The battles was won,but will lost many soldiers in the war.
TROOPS STATION: ( Rejoicing)
They all return with (200) men.The rest died in the war.
( A week later. )

( A knock from the door)
JENNY:(open) where is my husband? John rest her the letter,he was enable to make it.
JENNY:(scream nooo!!!!!)
