I am the second born. My older brother struggled in life. I often thought, that he struggled because he had inherited every bad genetic trait of generations of our maternal and paternal lineage. I began to think that mother nature dumped all of these unfortunate traits in him, because she didn't know if there would be a second born, and therefore, felt my older brother might represent her only option! Then I came along. As I progressed, I began to feel, that his presence before me, cleaned out all the problems with the gene pool, before I was consummated. He's gone now, and had a very unfortunate, and very sad life. I, on the other hand, was born free of the alcoholism, smoking, and learning problems he suffered with. I lived through a war (Vietnam), got my college degree, helped my mother till her death, and have been the unworthy recipient of many of God's blessings, while living a life free from the negative experiences he encountered. I look back, and wish I had been more understanding...........
I know first born who are hardworking, served in families, who did their best academically,, who showed discipline but still had challenges. In so many homes first born set the standard for work ethics in families. Challenges truly exist for firstborns
The first child of our family exhibited all of these that you've highlighted. He was the smartest of the family but achieved barely nothing. Thank God he's doing well now.
Dr Apoki, thank you for this timely message. You spoke it all to me , I am a 1st born and 34yrs old now. I am getting married and will be more careful in chosing a wife with the guidance I got from this broadcast . I like the things of God, a born humanitarian and have had a good up bringing from my parents and my Mom in particular... Joining from Cameroon
Dr apoki was my childhood doctor. His very good with what he does. I could vividly remember how he took care of me, when I was down with malaria and typhoid fever.
"the first born son has the excellency of his father's strength, the improvement of his ability, the embodiment of the hope and the future of the family. Therefore if the devil can distract, divert, demoralise, delay, deform and destroy the first born, he can hinder the future of that lineage"... Dr Apoki
The distractions for first born can be challenging.Thank God i did not give up over my Son.With prayer and so many fights to put him on the right path of life,he is now a successful photographer after his university education.All glory to God Almighty.A lot of parents give up and regrets in their old age.
I am the first born of my parents; we call the first born "Curad". As long as I remember, I was being the only child who has most responsibilities of the family. My family was nomadic pastoralist. I grew up that environment and I used to be goats and sheep herder. When second, third, and fourth children grow up up to teens, I migrated to a urban. I started a new journey of education. I have struggled a lot; everybody, who have experienced studying in an envoronmemt where your parents are not, knows the awaiting challenges. With the help of God, I graduated and got job. Still, my family depends on me; specially economically. I feel like I have not gone under similar chilhood that my same age children those were not first borns gone. I feel like I was on duty since I can remember! It has negatives and positives both.
In everything that has been said. I can testify that it is all true. Being a first born child, I know of my potentials and this video has reflected my greatest weaknesses. It is through God and being with God that can help a firstborn child realise his potential and maximise it. Thanks for the message and may God bless you.
Let the Mercy of the Lord thunder over all first borns and reversed any negativity, bondages, repeated , battles ,cycles, ordinances over our lives , Abba show us your manifold Mercy,
I am hear always, and this is changing my life for good. Thank you so much for this priceless mentorship, Papa. God grant you long life, Dr Charles Apoki, the great man of our time.
Hi Dr Apoki, I have just discovered you and this is the second video I watched. I have listened many preachers but this one is far one of the best I met. I am a first born and I found myself in your talks with so many challenges that appear in my life. Thanks for these insights.
I had the most challengess ever I went so bad I can only go good. God taken over my life 2013 now I have businesses and god told me to give inheritance to my 5 kids and 25 grandchildren. It’s all complete. When I was giving them inheritance in my head I could hear cheering as a crowd. My whole linkage is sorted 200 years worth I’m 32 33 this month. All praises to god no other way.
Thank you sir, almost everything you have mentioned is true about the first borns, also first borns carrys the burdens of parents and younger siblings especially financially someone from poor family can relate , life hits me so hard on both sides. Its a real burden being a firstborn
Strange enough, I can relate with this. I am not the first and the last son. But our first son should rather be the last born and the last born first. He’s 56. We have been praying, binding and loosing for 30years that I could remember very well
It is nuanced. Sometimes firstborns have to be the father to the other children especially in a dysfunctional family. You spend your life taking care of others so much so that your own life is on pause. Talk about that too because our reality as first born children 8s nuanced.
This is nothing but the truth I have seen it over and over, although am a firstborn without any of these challenges, listening to this video, I was wondering, boy, how did you escape all of these? Because am more like the opposite of all mentioned to the glory of God right from growing up the mentality has been on a super speed, did some small small stupidity, I by myself adviced myself against those things, till tomorrow parents didnt know.😊
I beg to differ. Our parents put the burdens on us. In my life since 8yrs of age, I've had to hold my family and incur adult responsibilities at a very early age. Including caring for my sibling, whom my mother GOVERNS with all his foolishness. He's her love child. So I wholeheartedly disagree.
I beg to disagree with you respectfully. I am a firstborn, I am 40yr not married, graduated d university years before my younger brother… he lived with me while I trained him in school. He got married almost immediately he finished serves NYSC. Today he is married with children while I am still single and shouldering the responsibilities of the entire family all alone. May God Almighty delivers us firstborn from every attacks of the enemy, Amen
I have known this a long time and I am a strict mother to my first born who is a female child. My hubby complains but I know there's no time for pampering because she was taken away from me by her dad since she was 1, I know I will be victorious and she will turn out well
Balance is better; you have to be very strict when needed and very loving when needed. If you go overboard, you will lose her. How do I know? I'm a first born daughter.
What he said is cool, I’m a first born even with challenges it makes us more stronger and I attack whatever I sees as suspect. Maybe world of those days but this current generation everybody dey para
I was moved to tears after seeing this, as most traits are well observed on me. This is a public space, but I honestly need personal mentorship. I've been part of the mentorship group for a while now. And I don't know if that would be okay. I just need more for me to change this rollercoaster. Please help, I'm tired of it
It depends on the family you came out from. The solution is serious prayer, after salvation and close relationship with God. A trusted and anointed man of God can help break demonic ties and yokes.
Sir i laughed when you said Government college "destupidnize" your brain and it was a nightmare to you 😂😂😂😂 Thank God for the impact. We have learnt a lot. God bless you sir.
It appears to me that all of these diagnostics can be expressed solely as a function of childhood traumas (which can be caused by inexperience of parents, but most likely to be transferred trauma). Most importantly, any solution for helping these people who are in a tough position appears to address the trauma (directly or indirectly).
Thanks Aboki our ogo! It appears as if this first born issue is more pronounced among the blacks than the whites. Many successful people in the West are first born. Is African religious mentality at work?
Hi Dr Charles how do I push and motivate myself when things are very hard as a first born? I am the first line of defense , it’s hard to know tactics. Please direct me to the books of the bible that will inspire tactics and strategy for when things get hard. Also what you said about getting bad spouses, I want to come back to this when the time comes and remebe to remain strong for what God has and it’s not bad to remain single when it’s in God’s will for me
You are very right sir all you said is going on with my first daughter , she does everything about her future half half way , she never give me a listening ear , her Christian life is over religious same pattern of life since she left secondary school, no new idea , church church January to December 😢😢😢😢😢 .
Dr. Can you please arrange prayer session on this very subject,? And please publicise your address, make us the prayer center on this very important subject.. we dearly
If there are two sets of children from two relationships in a home, each with a first born son from the respective men, is the firstborn from the second set considered a firstborn? Is it paternal or maternal favor that rests on the first born?
Dr Apoki thank you so much for the wisdom you are delivering to this generation may God bless you and keep you well for this wicked generation, my question is who matters most between the male and female firstborn because the Bible emphasizes about the first born son thank you. am from Zambia

The first born often times are spoiled because they were the first child!
That's the root of the problem; entitlement mentality
This is false
