19. An ideal child is one who exhibits brokenness.

20. Finally, an Ideal child makes many people want to meet the parents that have raised him or her because of his good behavior.Who would not want to have a child with all these characteristics? I pray for my children to have these qualities listed above. 

Jesus-Christ set aside the quintessential child to illustrate how members of his body should behave and qualities they ought to strive for. 
When members of the body of Jesus- Christ become an ideal child; people would draw near to him being the father and mother of the Church. 

People outside the home where an ideal child is growing up would want to become members as well. 

The main characteristics traits that should be present in an ideal child are trust and honesty. 

How can a child be ideal, if they tell lies and you can't trust them?

Jesus-Christ who we are all expecting someday cried out to the twelve disciples just like he is crying out to us now: be united and stop trying to figure out who is the greatest or most important.

Jesus-Christ, made it clear: pagans are interested in titles and lord it over those they are ruling, but it should not be so for those who are his members.

Brethren, greatness lies in service.

You will be amazed the ushers who stands throughout the church service is greater than the General overseer of numerous churches seating in a posh Rolls Royce, moving in a convoy or flying in a private jet. I am not the one who has said it, but Jesus- Christ.

Greatness lies in being selfless and not attributing anything of importance to you.

It is time to be united as one body; not divided among ourselves because of the need to promote importance.

Jesus-Christ was not a man of title; people called him by all kinds of title even though he was truly what those titles meant. He worked hard with a clear purpose to finish his assignment and not interested in earthly inheritance as seen in private jets, convoys, helicopters and mansions etc.

I love you all; let us strive for that unity among members of the body of Christ living only in one body.

I am sure many of us would have been dead by now, if there was no unity among the crucial parts of our body. Imagine the head, heart, hands, leg, nose, mouth and eyes all fighting one another. 

Brethren let us not murder Jesus-Christ again as he does not deserve to be killed a second time because of jealousy, envy, pride, error, deception, selfishness, over-ambition and being unteachable among his members.

The members of Christ must be united for us the church to function well; see true manifestations of signs and wonders not from the pit of hell. 

• Lord: please empower the members of your body to drop all forms of self-importance and begin to focus on their calling. 
• Please assist us to finish the 100 meters race exhibiting the qualities of an ideal child. 
• Please enable us to get a better sense of our purpose, which has nothing to do with being the most important.
• Please forgive us for not being that good example the world is looking for to draw near to you.
