YOUTH AND PARENTAL BLESSINGS

*WORD TO THE YOUTH*

Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth - Ephesians 6:2-3

Many youth are living without parental blessings. They are leaving like orphans when their biological parents are there. They operate as if they do not have parents. Many youth have lost touch with their own parents. They do not visit them, communicate with them, and support them emotionally or financially. It is also painful that some youth have ‘discovered’ some ‘father’ or ‘mother’ figure where they now stay who have now replaced their own living parents. Here are the excuses most youths are giving concerning the distance they have created from their parents:
• My parents are too far away.
• I am now independent and I have my own life.
• I wanna fix my parents for what they did to me. I am angry against them.
• There is no money to support them.
• I am stressed up by my own issues. I can be seen accommodating some people in my life.
• My parents are too old and too sick to be my parents.
• They abused me and it is my turn to abuse them.
• We are many in our family. Others can support also. It is not my duty only.

You must understand that your parent is your parent no matter what. You need them. Today I see the spirit of rejection in many youth. Decide to forgive your parents. Pick up your phone and call your parents. Greet them with love. Be concerned about their care and welfare. They are still your parents. With that little visit them. One time my father said, ‘It is not money we need but to see you only’ Life sharing is important

*Affirmation*

*I love my parents
*I have the best parents
*God bless my parents

ONLINE FACEBOOK LIVE CHURCH SESSIONS: PULL OFFS

ONLINE FACEBOOK LIVE CHURCH SESSIONS

PULL OFFS

When doing online services especially Facebook live services sometimes it is wise to pull off the live because of different reasons. A pull off is actually a delete or 'hide' of what has been recorded, captured or posted. Sometimes it is embarrassing to see prerecording testing moments live before the really message or live broadcast. Pull offs save you from embarrassment from people who will always ask you about your post or some can even share your wrongly recorded live broadcast. A live which is not well placed can cause unnecessary pressure on you on how to correct it because in most cases it cannot be edited. Once live, it's difficult retract what you have said except by pull off.

Why a pull off?

1. Network can go while recording and sometimes it is not well placed for people to just see your 3 minutes of the intended 30 minutes live session. The recording could also be affected by noisy environment.
2. The content posted may not have been well rehearsed and thought of and maybe of poor quality. The content could also be controversial and bent on heretic teaching.
3. The live could have been of a live testing session. For example it is not well placed to hear those testing saying, 'Are we live now?' while they are actually live. Sometimes the media team may forget to un-mute the microphone and the live goes without sound. You have to pull off the testing session. It is not necessary to be seen.
4. The camera could have been on wrong mode, tilted or shaking such that no-one will ever follow the live. This happened to me recently. The message was very clear and great but the angle poor. So I had to download the video and edit the angle and re-post it.

How to pull off

You go on the post to the right there dots there. You click on the dots and they give options and you can select two ways:
1. Hide the post from your timeline. This will be hidden from everyone who scrolls your post. This option is good in that you can unhide in the event that you may need it to appear later in edited form.
2. Delete post from timeline. This will delete the post, recording or session from your timeline. People will not see the post.

CAMERA DYNAMICS

1. Make sure the video camera has enough power supply. It's not good for the live to just end because of the power.
2. Make sure the video is on proper angle. We don't want to break necks by following the tilted angles of the video. Choose whether it's landscape or portrait. Landscape gives a wider view than portrait.
3. If using hand held camera, make sure you are steady. This issue of shaking videos is not good.
4. If someone is shooting the live, there must be communication with the speaker. Shooting must start when speaker is ready. It's disturbing to see the speaker adjusting the suit, shirt or tie while live online.
5. You can do a pre run while not live to make sure of everything is in order.
6. It can be wise also to clean and adjust the camera lenses before shooting to avoid blurred videos.
