The Liberality of Our  Heavenly Father God the giver of life is seen to be liberal in all ramifications. He gives rain and sun, children and wealth to everyone without discrimination. James 4:6 says "But He giveth more grace. Wherefore  he saith, God resisteth the proud but giveth grace unto the humble". All God demands from us is to humble ourselves, we should not rely on our wisdom, our ability, our achievement or our talent. We should through total submission humble ourselves before God and he will definitely exalt us. if we submit to his sovereignty he will in turn showers his blessings upon us. In His liberality, he sent his only begotten son( JESUS CHRIST ) to come and atone for the sin of the whole world. Since He has done this, there is nothing he cannot give us.

5Cs OF TWENTY FIRST CENTURY TEACHING AND LEARNING The traditional method of teaching whereby the teacher does all the talking and students are passive listeners is not helping our students. This is clearly seen in the type of results we get from the students year in year out in their SSCE results. Albert Einstein said that " insanity it is to do something the same way over and over again and be expecting different results " He who expects different results must be ready to go the extra mile and do something different.

This really inspired me Dr. Ahmed, a well known cancer specialist, was once on his way to an important conference in another city where he was going to receive an award in the field of medical research. He was excited about the award and so boarded a plane to the venue. However, two hours after the plane took off, it made an emergency landing at the nearest airport due to a technical problem. Afraid that he would not make it in time to the conference, he immediately went to the reception to make enquiries. He found out that he would have to wait ten hours for the next flight to his destination! He rented a car and drove himself to the conference city which was four hours away.
