What Have You Done With The Little You Have?

-
As humans, our wants are insatiable, we're designed to keep wanting and wanting for more, as in Oliver Twist, :-). You taste a nice meal, and you crave for more, a man has sex and he desires more, one gets into power and he seeks for more, a lady earns money and still seeks more, the list is just endless.

Most times, we fail to realize and acknowledge the little that we have, instead we spend more of our time complaining and wishing we had more. The Lord is asking you, "what have you done with the little you have?". This is the same question the master who gave talents to his servants asked on his return (Matthew 25:14-30).

You wish to be a big business personnel, but you are not doing anything about it because you have little to start up with. How do you think God would multiply you if you are doing nothing? Anything multiplied by zero will always be zero. What is the little that you have? Start work on it and you would be surprised at how large it would turn out.

A good number of us have entrepreneurship skills, impressive business ideas, but because we have little financial support, we bury that skill and idea. I hope you know that one day, the master will ask you what you have done with that skill and idea. So, stop complaining about the little you have, stop spending all your time wanting and wishing you could have more. Stop being lazy, stop procrastinating, because the master can arrive at anytime! Strategize, make a plan, start work, and you can be sure of God's blessings.

Have I conveyed a message to someone today? Shalom.

Midlife Crisis and the Bible

-
Image
Midlife crisis, "a loss of self-confidence and feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age." Generally, midlife crisis occurs between ages 45 - 55. But, I would say midlife crisis can occur at any age. Or how do we explain a frustrated Engineering Graduate who works as an unskilled labour due to unemployment? These days, twentysomethings are not far from midlife crisis. What does the Bible say about midlife crisis? How does one go about a dashed dream at twentysomething? Apart from what you know, what else has the story of Ruth thought you? Ruth 1-4 tells us of the story of a young Moabite lady, Ruth, who lost her husband at a very young age. Ruth, then went with her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to her home in Judah. Thinking about it, Ruth was a young lady facing a midlife crisis. She was a widow without a child. We do not know what hopes and dreams got shattered along with the death of her husband. However, we can say that a lot o...

Things You Shouldn't Do In Church

-
Last week Thursday, I was in the Bible Study in my fellowship, and while the message was being preached, I rested my head on my thigh (bending forwards to rest my head, with my arms as support on my thigh), you get what I mean right? I wasn't exactly sleeping though, but in that position, I appeared to have somewhat gone far away from the Bible Study. Out of nowhere, the Bible Study secretary called me to answer a question! I couldn't even at that first instance comprehend the question, so, I asked him to repeat himself, and guess what? The congregation busted out laughing. I didn't have much of an issue with that, not until the Bible Study secretary had to compare me with Eutychus right in front of everybody, (Oh My God!!!). That was quite unnecessary if you would ask me, you know, I wasn't even sleeping in the first place. Alright, end of story. One thing I (you) should try as much as possible NOT to do is sleep during a sermon, or Bible study, or rather, appear...

What You Should Know Before You Start Every Competition

-
COMPETITION, is one thing, as mortal beings, we cannot but do. Thanks to Biology, competition is one of the characteristics of living things, so it's not as though it is a sin. But as a Christian, there are some things you ought to know while you are out there competing with others. 1. The aim of every competition is to win, to come out better than every other counterpart. As a matter of fact, some Christians now compete to oppress the losers so to speak. That is bad actually, and is in no way healthy. When you find yourself in a situation where you have to just compete, your aim should be to win, and not to oppress your counterparts. You should be able to be a team with your competitors at any point in time if need be, and not sworn enemies. It is the devil and his own who oppresses, and you are not one of his, are you? 2. When competing, let's say in a business environment, it should always be at the back of your mind that you are a Christian who lives to serve and to ple...
