· Spiritual: it is said that the spiritual control the physical and there
are deep things in life beyond our imagination so it is very necessary
to build their spiritual life. This has a broad concept but in this sense
is having a relationship with God, life in the Holy Spirit, and being
born again. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit as opposed to the
natural man who is unregenerate (Jon 3; Ephesians 1: 13; John 1: 12;
Rom 8: 9, 11; Galatia 5: 25) which can result in positive emotions
such as peace, contentment, gratitude, joy etc. it helps them to face
opposition in life battle because we are in the evil days and life is
warfare not a fun fare (Ephesians 5: 15 – 16). It is the beginning of
wisdom which is fear of God and is profitable to direct. Let's
paraphrase it again WISDOM gained through the fear of God is
profitable to direct (Proverb 3:1-3; 4:7; 9:10; Ecclesiastes 10:10).
This path helps to build every other principle. My father is not a
church person but he gave all to this aspect of life even his house and
money to help us acquire, achieve and imbibe this path to life in us.
· Mentally: Relating to the state or the health of a person's mind.
Having a balance mental health or well-being, thinking and
reasoning well. There is a popular saying that “education is not
educa-uche (Uche here means wisdom)”.
· Values: The principles that help you decide what is right and
wrong, and how to act in various situations. We are living in a
confused world and worldliness is the order of the day. My parent
were not so devoted as Christians but they instilled in us values and
morals that imbibe today that's why my mother give me the name
EZIAFAKAEGO( from Proverbs 22: 1) which she saw in my
Father( Proverb 21: 2 – 3).
