This post is not directed at anybody in particular but it is directed at EVERYBODY including and most especially YOU!
And me! LOL
I was on my way out to see my sister this morning,and there was this heavy traffic on the way,an accident had just occurred and according to the people who saw it,it was fatal... Somebody who was a Truck-pusher was crossing the road with his/her truck and was knocked UP by a car. Yes,I said knocked up because they said the car threw him/her into the air and nobody missed the sight! I'm using pronouns for both sexes because I don't know if it was a man or a woman. Yeah,when I heard truck-pusher,I also concluded it must have been a man,but when we got to the scene,there was no body but the pair of slippers on the road was that of a woman. And we kept thinking.. why on earth would a woman become a truck pusher...
We are all in life for a purpose. We all have different goals,but some of us are still lost,some people don't even know what they want! Everyday they get mad at other people's success and keep comparing their lives with others... We really have to learn to thank God for each day we find ourselves alive. Its not that we are that special, its not our faith that keeps us, its just God showing His mercy to us... What have you done to thank Him?
We all pass through every stage in life hoping to get to the next as quickly as possible and also hoping we would be successful. We all plan for our future, plan for tomorrow, prepare for parties, prepare for competitions... How many of us prepare for death? That party might be postponed, that competition might not hold but life must surely have an end... What are your plans?
You! You are worried and sad because you haven't found a job after going to school and coming out with good grades... Yes,its not something to be happy about but learn to be patient,its not easy but in the end,its worth it. God knows best. Everybody must go through delay in his life time whether he likes it or not,be happy you are alive to go through your own delay. I gained admission into the University 5years after I finished secondary school, and I am happy to be here today, and I thank God, for I know some of my classmates who got into school immediately after we finished and today,they are no more...
For those of you who have had it easy all your life up till today,what have you done to show your gratitude?
You! You are beating yourself up because you don't have a car and all your friends do! There's someone out there who can't even stand,who doesn't even have knees on which he could kneel and pray! But you can stand,you can walk,you can do things without any help yet you are not grateful...
For those of you who have cars at your disposal, what have you done to show your gratitude to God?
You! Mother of four! You are sad because that young lady that has a shop like yours sells goods worth times two of what you sell daily... Its sad that you would actually feel bad about that... Look around you, you also have something she might be craving for.
For those that make excess money everyday, what have you done to thank God?
You! You've been married for a while and you have no child,which makes you and your spouse really sad and worried... *smiles* Have you ever been to a mother-less babies home? Have you seen these children? Do you see the look in their eyes? Those children long to call someone mummy/daddy... Those children do not get all the motherly care every child deserves and it hurts,but they'll never know that,because they don't even know motherly care exists,which hurts even more!
Those of you who have children... How have you brought them up to show your gratitude to God???
Now, let me imagine your answers. "I pay my tithe", "I give back to the house of God as many times as I can", .... The truth is... God doesn't need your money! God doesn't need to buy anything! If you want to help build the house of God, why don't you donate a Holy Book, or chairs, or mats, or even a number of blocks for actually building! People may look down on you but believe me with each passing day, even after your death, as people keep worshipping God, with that Holy book,on that chair/mat, in that house of God built with those blocks you donated... You'll get blessed! For once my people, use that money to actually HELP those that NEED it!!! Go to the hospital, donate something! Like a wheel-chair, make a public bore-hole, and you woman with no child, adopt one of these babies and give that child a home! Give that child PARENTS! Think of the little houses of God you'll be building in the hearts of these people who actually need you!
But NO! Some of us, push billions of cash into places of worship all in the name of building the house of God... If God needs you to build Him anything, trust me you'll get a message! Everyday you pass by a poor person, who begs you for alms and obviously needs it,that's a message! You don't have a child yet God pumps money into your pocket everyday, and you know it in your heart that you can afford to take care of a mother-less child,that's a message! You pass by some animals standing by a tap,which is locked and you have hands to open it and provide for them water to drink, that's a message!
But No... Instead of giving LITTLE, to put a genuine smile on peoples faces, some of us have succeeded in giving SO MUCH, we have contributed SO MUCH in putting frowns on people faces... Instead of building little houses of God in peoples hearts, we have built mighty institutions that even we ourselves cannot afford! If you really want to help, HELP and know it in your heart that you are helping! So that tomorrow, when you need help from your Creator, you'll tell him of those little houses of His that you have built in the hearts of those He sent to you...
Kai! Some people's problem is that they're dark, they're looking for the right bleaching cream! Don't even let me get started with those ones! Bleach o! And out of guilty conscience them go dey chant "only God can judge me!" Mtchwww!
And me! LOL
