CELEBRATING BABY’S FIRST BIRTHDAY

As a new mum or a mother, there’s always this hype about your child’s first birthday. Whether you celebrate it or not you have that memory of his/her first birthday and how it was marked or remembered. For me, having your baby’s first birthday should not be an overwhelming thing, i know your baby first birthday is bound to be special and that is why both parents should pray for the child or children( in case of multiple children) and take them to church if the circumstance permits. Then if you are throwing a party afterwards or having a small intimate gathering of invited guest and family here are some tips to keep that day memorable without overwhelming yourself or child.

1. Keep it simple, invite neighbours, relatives, fellow parents and close friends because too many strange faces may scare your child, i mean you want a happy baby for those pictures. And let the party be short 1-2 hours maximum.....you don’t want to get your baby and other children cranky otherwise you may end up having a bunch of crying babies. Food made should be friendly for children most preferably small chops or biscuits, sandwiches, ice cream, etc. And then  rice or swallows for the adults.
2. Small party with fewer decorations: This is the best at this age, no need for mature party themes, and go for cartoon characters, hanging paper toys like planes, use party hats for added colour.
3. Party Venue: I say celebrate in your home, either indoor or with canopy outside...Remember how your first birthday party was from the pictures shown to you, it was always at home. But if your home or compound is not big enough, you can use an amusement park or child play space or a restaurant but i tell you doing it at home save cost and it makes your child more comfortable since he is familiar with the environment. That is why i suggest less crowd by keeping it simple.
4. Activities to get the children invited engaged:  Dancing competition with candy for winners, guessing nursery rhymes, ask someone it could be a friend or family member posing as the mc to read or sing the nursery rhyme

Safety Tips for the Party

Keep all breakables away

Clear the home of anything children can ingest that will harm them

Create a play space and keep toys there so that you can see the children playing with them

After party sterilize the toys, wash the ones that are stuffed with cloth

Don’t forget

Bake cake for baby it will make her picture even more colourful, then you can serve cupcake to guest.

Buy baby a special gift here are some ideas; Building blocks, push toys like the sit to stand baby walker or the push wagon, toy phone, toys with sounds, teddy bears.

Give guest children souvenirs like a fancy bag with story book and cupcakes or back to school essentials

PRAYING FOR HIS SELF-IMAGE

Fighting your husband about his perception of himself won’t change anything. If your husband’s self image needs a makeover, pray and be patient for changes which may not happen overnight.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that (your husband’s name) will find his identity in You. Help him to understand his worth through Your eyes and by Your standards. May he recognize the unique qualities You’ve placed in him and be able to appreciate them. Enable him to see himself the way You see him, understanding that You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet (Psalm 8:4-6). Quiet the voices that tell him otherwise and give him ears to hear Your voice telling him that it will not be his perfection that gets him through life successfully, it will be Yours.

Reveal to him that he is the image and glory of God (1 Corinthians 11:7), and he is complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:10). Give him the peace and security of knowing that he is accepted, not rejected, by You. Free him from the self-focus and self-consciousness that can imprison his soul. Help him to see who YOU really are so he’ll know who HE really is. May his true self-image be the image of Christ stamped upon his soul.

PRAYING FOR HIS FAITH

To a certain extent everyone lives by faith, but we also have times of doubt. Pray for your husband that in his time of doubt, he would have an ever increasing faith that will make a big difference in his life.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that you will give (your husband’s name) an added measure of faith today. Enlarge his ability to believe in You, Your Word, Your promises, Your ways, and Your power. Put a longing in His heart to talk with You and hear Your voice. Give him and understanding of what it means to bask in Your presence and not just ask for things. May he seek You, rely totally upon You, be led by You, put You first, and acknowledge You in everything he does.

Lord, You’ve said that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Feed his soul with Your Word so his faith grows big enough to believe that with You all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Give him unfailing certainty that what You’ve promised to do, You will do (Romans 4:21). Make his faith a shield of protection. Put it into action to move the mountains in his life. Your Word says, the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17); I pray that he will live the kind of faith-filled life You’ve called us all to experience. May he know with complete certainty how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You (Psalm 31:19).

PRAYING FOR HIS REPENTANCE

Many men have fallen into temptation and they cover up with pride and the inability to say the truth, confess and repent. Pray that your husband be convicted of his sin, to humbly confess it before God, then turn from his error and cease to do it.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would convict my husband of any error in his life. Let there be “nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known (Matthew 10:26). Cleanse him from any secret sins and reach him to be a person who is quick to confess when he is wrong (Psalm 19:12). Help him to recognize his mistakes. Give him eyes to see Your truth and ears to hear Your voice. Bring him to full repentance before You. If there is suffering to be done, let it be the suffering of a remorseful heart and not because the crushing hand of the enemy has found an opening into his life through unconfessed sin. Lord, I know that humility must come before honor (Proverbs 15:33). Take away all pride that would cause him to deny his faults and work into his soul a humility of heart so that he will receive the honor You have for him.

PRAYING FOR HIS DELIVERANCE

There are some certain lifestyle your husband may be living which is morally wrong, it may be something new or an old lifestyle that has pulled him into bondage as though he cannot do without. Pray he is delivered and set free

PRAYER

Lord, You have said to call upon You in the day of trouble and You will deliver us (Psalm 50:15). I call upon You now and ask that You would work deliverance in my husband’s life. Deliver him from anything that binds him. Set him free from (name a specific thing). Deliver him quickly and be a rock of refuge, a fortress of defence to save him (Psalm 31:2). Lift him away from the hands of the enemy (Psalm 31:15).

Bring him to a place of understanding where he can recognize the work of evil and cry out to You for help. If the deliverance he prays for isn’t immediate, keep him from discouragement and help him to be confident that You have begun a good work in him and will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Give him the certainty that even in his most hopeless state, when he finds it impossible to change anything, You, Lord, can change everything.

Help him understand that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). I pray that he will be strong in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God, so he can stand against the wiles of the devil in the evil day. Help him to gird his waist with truth and put on the breastplate of righteousness, having shod his feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Enable him to take up the shield of faith, with which to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. I pray that he will take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful and standing strong to the end (Ephesians 6:13-18).

DAY 22

PRAYING FOR HIS EMOTIONS

Emotions are strong feelings that are usually expressed. Some men have emotions filled with anger and most women tend to live with them that way, causing them to act in fear rather than love.

Anger, jealousy and depression are 3 negative emotions that can torment a man’s soul, don’t watch your husband be manipulated by his emotions. Pray that your husband’s emotions be controlled by the Holy Spirit and not himself, freedom may just be a prayer away.

PRAYER

Lord, You have said in Your Word that You redeem our souls when we put our trust in You (Psalm 34:22). I pray that (your husband’s name) would have faith in You to redeem his soul from negative emotions. May he never be controlled by depression, anger, anxiety, jealousy, hopelessness, fear, or suicidal thoughts. Specifically I pray about (area of concern). Deliver him from this and all other controlling emotions (Psalm 40:17). I know that only You can deliver and heal, but use me as Your instrument of restoration. Help me not to be pulled down with him when he struggles. Enable me instead to understand and have words to say that will bring life.

Free him to share his deepest feelings with me and others who can help. Liberate him to cry when he needs to and not bottle his emotions inside. At the same time, give him the gift of laughter and ability to find humor in even serious situations. Teach him to take his eyes off his circumstances and trust in You, regardless of how he is feeling. Give him patience to possess his should and the ability to take charge of it (Luke 21:19). Anoint him with the oil of joy (Isaiah 61:3), refresh him with Your Spirit, and set him free from negative emotions this day.

PRAYING FOR HIS WALK

A man’s walk is his direction or focus in life, basically the way he journeys through life. Every day he chooses a path that will launch him forward. And the way he journeys affect every part of his life…..family, friends, co-workers, etc

We are to walk with moral correctness, walk without fault, walk with godly advisor, walk in obedience, walk with people of wisdom, walk with integrity, and most of all walk a path of holiness. Pray for your husband to walk in the right direction through life.

PRAYER

O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps (Jeremiah 10:23). Therefore, Lord, I pray that YOU would direct my husband’s steps. Lead him in YOUR light, teach him YOUR way, so he will walk in YOUR truth. I pray that he would have a deeper walk with You and an ever progressing hunger for Your Word. May Your presence be like a delicacy he never ceases to crave. Lead him on Your path and make him quick to confess when he strays from it. Reveal to him any hidden sin that would hinder him from walking rightly before you. May he experience deep repentance when he doesn't live in obedience to Your laws. Create in him a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within him. Don’t cast him away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from him (Psalm 51:10,11).

Lord Your Word says that those who are in the flesh cannot please You (Romans 8:8). So I pray that You will enable (your husband’s name) to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh and thereby keep himself from the paths of the destroyer (Psalm 17:4). As he walks in the Spirit, may he bear the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22,23). Keep him on the Highway of Holiness so that the way he walks will be integrated into every part of his life.

PRAYING FOR HIS TALK

Some men are fond of bragging about what they can and will do but never do them, such men hardly get anywhere. I believe in less talk, more action with a constructive plan. Pray that your husband’s heart to be convicted by the Holy Spirit, and teach him a new way to talk.

PRAYER

Lord, I pray Your Holy Spirit would guard my husband’s mouth so that he will speak only words that edify and bring life. Help him to not be a grumbler, complainer, a user of foul language, or one who destroys with his words, but be disciplined enough to keep his conversation godly. Your Word says a man who desires a long life must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit (Psalm 34:12-13). Show him how to do that. Fill him with Your love so that out of the overflow of his heart will come words that build up and not tear down. Work that in my heart as well.

May Your spirit of love reign in the words we speak so that we don’t miscommunicate or wound one another. Help us to show each other respect, speak words that encourage, share our feelings openly, and come to mutual agreements without strife. Lord, You’ve said in Your Word that when two agree, You are in their midst. I pray that the reverse be true as well – that You will be in our midst so that we two can agree. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer (Psalm 19:14).

PRAYING FOR HIS PAST

We all have past experiences and in life you get the best when we learn from our pasts rather than living in it. Forget those things which are behind and reach forward for those things which are ahead. Dwelling in the past not only affects you but also your children especially if it is your husband living in the past. Be patient and pray that your husband does not listen to the voice of the past

PRAYER

Lord, I pray that You would enable (your husband’s name) to let go of his past completely. Deliver him from any hold it has on him. Help him to put off his former conduct and habitual ways of thinking about it and be renewed in his mind (Ephesians 4:22,23). Enlarge his understanding to know that you make all things new (Revelation 21:5). Show him a fresh, Holy Spirit-inspired way of relating to negative things that have happened. Give him the mind of Christ so that he can clearly discern Your voice from the voices of the past. When he hears those old voices, enable him to rise up and shut dthem down with the truth of Your Word. Where he has formerly experienced rejection or pain, I pray he not allow them to color what he sees and hears now. Pour forgiveness into his heart so that bitterness, resentment, revenge, and unforgiveness will have no place there. May he regard the past as only a history lesson and not a guide for his daily life. Wherever his past has become and unpleasant memory, I pray You would redeem it and bring life out of it. Bind up his wounds (Psalm 147:3). Restore his soul (Psalm 23:3). Help him to release the past so that he will not live in it, but learn from it, break out of it, and move into the future you have for him.

PRAYING FOR HIS ATTITUDE

No one truly wants to be known with a bad attitude. If you have a family member who has bad attitude, rather than reacting to their negativity, pray about it. And if your husband has bad attitude, use your prayers to soften his heart, pray that his heart becomes pure and have a cheerful countenance.

PRAYER

Lord, fill (your husband’s name) with Your love and peace today. May there be a calmness, serenity, and sense of well-being established in him because his life is God-controlled rather than self-controlled. Enable him to walk in his house with a clean and perfect heart before You (Psalm 101:2). Shine the light of Your Spirit upon him and fill him with Your love. I pray that he will be kind and patient, not selfish or easily provoked. Enable him to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things (1 Corinthians 13:7). Release him from anger, unrest, anxiety, concerns, inner turmoil, strife, and pressure. May he not be broken in spirit because of sorrow (Proverbs 15:15), but enjoy the continual feast of a merry heart. Give him a spirit of joy and keep him from growing into a grumpy old man. Help him to be anxious for nothing, but give thanks in all things so he can know the peace that passes all understanding. May he come to the point of saying, I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content (Phillipians 4:11). I say to (your husband’s name) this day, The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His continence upon you, and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
