3. Book Vision
To improve the quality of the teacher service in our various
educational institutions
Book Text
“Whosoever therefore breaks one of the least of these
commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the
kingdom of heaven; but whosoever does and teaches them, he shall
be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19)
4. Introduction
It is not uncommon to see school teachers not giving adequate attention to their
preparations before they enter their classes to teach. It is very common these days to
see teachers, especially in my part of the world, shamefully writing external
examinations for their students. Some male teachers do not understand why they don't
have to go into any illicit relationship with their female students.
Likewise, some parents have also been bad teachers in one way or the other to their
children. I believe any parent who goes into any “special arrangement” with a teacher
to write an external examination for his or her child should cover his or her face in
shame! My dear parent, if you do this, it shows you have failed woefully over that child
since the day you brought him or her to this world.
5. Authors are not left out of this; some
authors have written books that will
take the readers 360 degrees back in
the good moral direction. In the same
vein, most leaders of churches or any
religious organization who have set up
platforms to teach deceits and lies
should know that they are examples of
bad teachers that have deleted good
values from our society on a consistent
basis!
“Then He said to them, 'Why do you
sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into
temptation' ” (Luke 22:46)
6. One of the major tools in the hands of
Jesus to achieve His purpose on this
earth was the act of teaching. He
taught the disciples until He went to the
cross. Even when He was troubled in
the Garden of Gethsemane, He was
still teaching the disciples to “rise and
pray...” (Luke 22:46).
The Spirit of God inspired me with series
of revelations from the Bible on this
topic and we have packaged this as
an academic programme called The
Teaching Strategy Educational Systems
(TSES). The TSES programme was born
to inspire teachers at all levels and in all
categories back to “righteousness”.
8. In whichever teaching capacity you
find yourself, you should understand
that whatever you pass across to your
students today as information will either
make or mar the future of our society.
Therefore every teacher must be sure
of the quality of his or her information
before they are delivered to the
students!
Dear school teacher, stop giving half-
baked textbook information to your
students, you should cultivate the habit
of preparing very well for your classes –
you are a role model to these students.
If you allow your “dirty” attitude to
corrupt your students, you have just
shown to God that He should hold you
responsible for whatever negative
attitude these students put up in the
future!
9. The Role Of Information
During the various TSES introductory
seminars in schools, I have always
asked the audience to tell me the
common factor in the function of
the following materials and
individuals.
I. A school text book
II. A newspaper
III. A magazine
IV. The Bible
V. A Television station
VI. A radio station
VII. The Internet
VIII. The teacher
IX. The newscaster
X. A pastor in the church
10. Most times, they have all
chorused, “Information Dissemination”. This is
perfectly correct. All I listed above give
information. Lots of individuals, groups or
organizations have made fortunes having
one thing or the other to do with these
sources of information.
The fortunes have come as a result of the
people's or the society's interest in obtaining
information on diverse topics from these
sources and others that have not been
mentioned.
I want you to think of a situation whereby
the Bible will not exist in our present world.
What about the internet or the television or
the radio station? It will surely be an
incomplete world. Lots of
people, organizations and countries spend
lots of fortunes to obtain relevant
information that will push or promote their
cause. Information is indeed a valuable
resources that makes our world thrive.
12. Let us narrow this down to the teacher
in schools or any other individual
acting in that capacity anywhere else.
You are a teacher primarily because
you give out information on a regular
basis to your students. The question
is, “what is the quality of information
you give out to your students? I have
informed you earlier in this book that
the information I am talking about goes
beyond the subject you teach in the
classroom - it is a lot more than that!
The school subject information you give
out is just a part of the total information
you give out as a teacher.
13. Many teachers missed this. Mr A
believes he is doing a great job when
he teaches his subject very well in the
classroom and records 100% students'
success in external examinations but
indulges in illicit relationships with the
female students.
Parent B believes he is doing a great
job by advising his son to avoid the sin
of fornication but do not see anything
wrong in committing adultery himself.
What information are you giving out?
14. You need to do a great check on
yourself and your teaching duties over
the years to see how you have led
astray innocent students with the
information you have given out to
them. You need to check to see how
you have painted our future black
because you have been a bad
information giver in the school system.
16. “That which was from the beginning.,
which we have heard, which have
seen with our eyes, which we have
looked upon, and our hands have
handled, concerning the world of life”
(1 John 1:1)
“For we cannot but speak the things
which we have seen and heard” (Acts
4:20)
To further buttress my point on how the
quality of information you give out today as
teachers will either help or “kill” our future,
let me show how the disciples of Jesus
acted in the future based on the good
information Jesus and the Holy Spirit had fed
them:
17. In 1 John 1:1 (see above), the
writer, John (one of the twelve disciples
of Jesus) described how what he was
speaking, declaring or acting were
based on the information he had been
fed with. In 1 John 1:1, he said, “That
which was from the beginning which
we have heard, which we have seen
…, which we have looked upon, and
our hands have handled of the world
of life”.
They heard good information; they saw
good information; they have looked
upon good information; their hands
have handled good information. I am
not surprised he (and the other
disciples) affected their worlds
positively and left legacies for
generations yet unborn to benefit from!
18. My dear teacher, is your manner of
dressing, talking and the rest passing
good future-building information unto
your students? Do you store up
pornographic pictures on your phones
or have immoral ring tones blaring out
of your phones when a call comes in?
19. Remember that it is what the students
can see, hear, look upon and handle
that will affect their future (and our
future) positively or negatively.
In the second passage above, Acts
4:20, Peter and others stated very
clearly under very tough conditions
that there was no way they could stop
to speak and act what they have seen
and heard. To them also, what they
have seen , heard, looked upon and
handled over time have transferred
great values into them and they can't
just help themselves from acting out
these stored values!
My dear teacher, there is more to your
job as a teacher. You have been
strategically positioned by God to help
your students and help our future.
20. There is great
power in your
mouth and
conduct today as a
teacher in that
community school.
21. The Viral Effect

22. “...that we have seen and heard we
declare to you, that you also may have
fellowship with us; and truly our
fellowship is with the Father and with His
Son, Jesus Christ. And these things we
write to you that your joy may be full”
(1 John 1:3-4)
I have observed and as we can seen
from the passage immediately above
that information dissemination has a
viral effect.
23. John, after stating the reasons why
they were acting differently from others
in 1 John 1:1, he said they are now
writing their stored information and
convictions unto others so that they
can also begin to behave like them!
If John and the others have had the
wrong information stored into them,
they would still have carried out the
same practice of transferring the same
belief unto others through their writings.
My dear teacher, this is another reason
why you have to be careful about the
information you pass across to your
students today. You can be sure that
they will pass across this information to
others in the future! The more quality
information we have in our society
today, the better for our society today
and in the future.
26. I stumbled upon the story of Adolph
Hitler and I took my time to study its
content. While reading the unfortunate
story of this man, the Spirit of God
spoke to me, “Do you know that if
Adolph Hitler is going to be punished
for the crimes he committed against
humanity, his teachers will also come
up for mention”.
This was a striking comment! I had
never related the conducts of a bad
leader and his punishment by God to
the teachers who taught him and their
punishment from God for teaching him
or her the wrong things. Adolph Hitler
and other leaders of his kind
committed crimes against humanity.
They killed millions of innocent souls.
They were so mean that the rest of the
world came together to fight them.
27. Do you know that the making of the
evil in Adolph Hitler were in stages?
Have you ever asked or investigated
the roles of the information passed
across to him by his parents, the books
he read, the advisers that surrounded
him and other teachers. Wrong
information made him what he turned
out to be and he did a “good job” of
transferring this evil information into his
followers and the result was the pain
they inflicted upon humanity!
I want you to read a short excerpt of
the story of Adolph Hitler as published
in the Times News magazine.
28. Adolph Hitler
“...he was raised a spoiled child by a
doting mother, Klara...he grew up a
half-educated young man, untrained
for any trade or profession, seemingly
doomed to failure...soon Hitler's
researches revealed to him that the
Jew is the enemy of all mankind...To
this man of no trade and few interests,
world war 1 was a welcome event that
gave him some purpose in life”
29. Now, let us analyze the short story
above to fish out some relevant
information:
● (“He was raised a spoiled child
by a doting mother...”) – the mother
did a bad job!
● (“He grew up a half-educated
young man...”) - he did not complete
or go through the good provision of the
society to help his development (the
school system). The parents still have a
question to answer here.
● (“Untrained for any trade or
profession...”) - this is still an issue of
incomplete education that would
have helped his positive development.
● (“Soon Hitler's researches...”) -
he began to read the wrong
books, journals, newsletters, writings
and the rest produced by people
(teachers) who gave out the wrong
information.
30. World war 1 was just a
great opportunity for
Hitler to unleash the
wrong information he
had been fed over the
years on the world!
Teachers, please beware
of the information you
give out!
