Who Are You Helping?

 


Who Are You Helping?

The world has gone to a stage where you have no idea who to help, or if they will even appreciate it or end up criticizing and looking down on the help you offer.

There was once a man who was fighting a foreigner in his land. The countryman was almost killed when one of his fellow countrymen came and struck down his enemy.

You know the story of Moses in the Bible- when he tried to save his fellow Israelite from the hands of the Egyptian. After the help, the man who just got rescued began to boil over and said he didn’t need any help. “Do you want to kill me like you killed the other Egyptian yesterday,” asked the man who had just been saved.

I know you are a good person. If not, then you should try to be a good person, but the point is that being good should not land you in trouble as it did in the case of Moses above- he had to flee the land. He became an outcast in a foreign land.

When next you offer a helping hand, try to know who you are helping, not because you would want them to return the favor, but because they just might bite off your hand after you feed them, and probably send you into exile.

Do not be charitable to someone who will not appreciate it. Save up the good you intend to give people who will not appreciate it and add it unto those who will do appreciate.

If someone claims they are too big to be helped, draw yourself back and watch as they let their ego, pride, and arrogance catch up and deal with them.

Finally, find people who will appreciate your kind gestures and be good to them, and avoid those who will only complain about the little you have tried to do for them; there are plenty of both, and you only need to find the right persons and keep doing well to them.

The 1 Thing You Need to Overcome Obstacles

THE 1 THING YOU NEED TO OVERCOME DIFFICULT CHALLENGES 1. A few days back I went to see a friend. After catching up, we went into his gym which contained one piece of equipment comprising of cement and a rod. He lied down on the bench and asked me to pass it to him. I tried lifting it off the ground but I couldn’t.  It looked ‘carryable,’ at first, but when I bent down, I could swear I heard my waist bone give way. I spent the night there and I tried lifting it the next morning as I’d gotten enough rest at night. I bent down, and this time, like the last time, I couldn’t lift it. But it gave way a little. On the fourth day, no, I didn’t carry it oo. But it budged. I even lifted it to my ankles. It was massive for me.  After my sixth attempt, I lifted it. Yes, I did. No lies here. I carried it up to my chest before letting it thunder to the ground. 2. I remember when the Ebola virus first hit.  People were so scared of losing their lives and would go to every length to find a

CONTENTMENT

Image
 WHAT REALLY MATTERS? It is written in the Bible that “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” (1Tim 6:6) This verse has been hammered into my brain since I was a child, but then it was just another memory verse, just like the others I learned in Sunday school. But growing up, I have come to see the several applications of this verse and how it has helped me lived a happy and fulfilled life. In our society today, we are blinded by clout and desperately chasing and falling for what we do not have. Scammers on -or-offline would not have a fan base if it were not for our greed. One will see an ad promising free cash, phones, or other gift items and all sense of reasoning will disappear through thin air, all for what? I’ll tell you the answer… we are trying to get what we do not have. How about fathers and mothers; uncles and aunts; and even children who leave their families to search for the so-called “greener pasture?” I have no doubt we all want to climb up whatever ladder we t

BE THE VOICE

                                                                           BE THE VOICE I was watching a video yesterday on how the power of one could change many. Although I dare not use the same example as I’d seen in the video, mainly because I do not have the same experience, therefore, it would be really hard to portray the message using their situation, I will illuminate it using a different perspective. Sometimes all you need is a little voice to give you the final push that will help you overcome that difficult task. You do have that voice in your head but it doesn’t work because you have shut it down by giving up, therefore you need another voice- someone else’s voice to speak to you. Whatever challenges you face, don’t face them alone; find a true and willing friend to share them with. They just might be the voice you need. Now these tough guys in the referenced video was undergoing some training and tests under very harsh conditions and they were at the point of giving
