"I never sowed my first salary to any pastor or church as first fruit offering. There is NOTHING like that in Scripture. I gave my first salary to my father. He shared it to EVERY single member of my family as he saw fit, then prayed for me. I have NEVER been poor since then. Read Scripture. The only command among the 10 Commandments that affects your prosperity on Earth is "Honor your father and your motherÔÇØ-Exodus 20:12. No prayer from any pastor, no charm from any voodoo priest, and no amount of hard work, can do what the prayer of a parent that you honour can do in your life!ÔÇØ

Thank you sir. No matter how bad we were treated by our parents, we should always remember, take care and provide for them to feel our impact while they are still alive. It is not necessary to organize socalled befitting burials for their remains where we provide so much food and drinks for people who don't know how our parents had existed

Sowing and reaping is constant in the schemes of God. Honouring God and your parents is both physical and spiritual obligations
