Often our first look at any issue does not give us the first picture, rather does not give us the totality, the entire picture but the more we look the more discoveries we make. If you look at a man’s dress the first time you may see one or two colours but when you look closer you discover that they could be more than that. So don’t just give a broad look to issues. Look into the depth of the affairs of your life and you will have amazing discoveries. God delivers your life into your hand and tells you, make discoveries. That’s a whole bundle of success dropped from heaven. Make discoveries. So, man’s problem is not that he doesn’t have gift but he couldn’t make discovery about himself. Every good thing you see on earth here today didn’t drop from heaven. All were deposited in a man as inch of success, he now has to make discoveries by looking well within and without and gradually he will make discoveries by looking well within and without and eventually makes discoveries. God has deposited everything inside man. Man’s greatest job is discoveries for his recovery from his pains, failures, predicaments and stagnation.
Let’s begin to ponder! Let’s begin to accept responsibility, begin to think, to imagine. Look well to your affairs, look well to your going. Don’t be quick to draw conclusions about the issues of your life. Don’t be quick to say it cannot be done. Don’t be quick to say I don’t have time, well; this is an issue bigger than me. There is no temptation, no challenge that will come your way that God has not prepared you for, inside it. He will make a way of escape for you if you care to know the way. As you look well you discover ways of escape. Look well to you social challenges, your physical challenges, your health challenges, your material challenges, your family challenges. Look well. You have to be first convinced that you can find an answer to your personal challenges, accept responsibility. Ponder! The prodigal son pondered, I can’t continue like this, I have to do something, and he came to a conclusion, I have to go back to my father’s house. Something tells him ‘what if he doesn’t accept you?’ He said, well I will just tell him that, old man don’t accept me as your son but at least as a slave. He pondered, he had alternatives. If he doesn’t take me as a son, I will tell him to take me as one of his hired servants. At least I will be earning daily pay! Let’s ponder after alternative solutions to our challenges. If I do it this way and it doesn’t work I will do it the other way. You should even confuse the enemy by letting him know you have answers. While you are praying, be thinking and you will find the answers. It’s a new day for you! This month you shall surely go forward! SHALLOM!
FAMILY CORNER
SHOW THAT YOU CARE
Children need to be loved and cared for also. I have discovered that not only adults have emotional needs, children do too. Their emotions change as fast as their bodies develop. As parent, you need to be available for them, as you are the best person to meet their emotional needs. If these needs are left unmet, the children are likely to look outside for help, which may not be good enough.
You must learn to interact with them, hugging and kissing them often. If you don’t do it to them, some one else will do it, which may be disastrous to their destiny at large. You as a parent must be your children’s best and true friend but unfortunately, the pursuit of other things in life has taken pre-eminent of our attention. That is why it is easy for the devil to manipulate them into all manner of vises. There are many young ones who have questions about issues of life, but do not know who to ask. Make yourself approachable, and give your children the opportunity to ask questions. Also, ask them questions about happenings in their lives. Be interested in everything that pertains to them. Your children shall forever remain as a source of inspiration and joy to you all the days of your life and beyond in Jesus name. Peace!
YOUTH CORNER
BE ADVENTUROUS
The glory of man is revealed by his adventure. The beauty of a bird is not in its perching on a tree but in the air. The usefulness of an aircraft is not in being parked on the tarmac but in the air. The glamour of a ship is not in the harbor but on the sea.
Do what you are created for, to create, to dare new things, to venture.
You never get fulfilled standing on the same spot doing nothing. Your joy is tied to what you are adding to life. Adventure! Be on the move!! Add more to life!!!
