STAY HUMBLE

Humility might be one of the hardest lesson I’ve ever learnt, the sad story is I learnt it in a very harsh manner, In a manner that left a lasting scar so I’m been reminder daily about the price to pay when humility is a far fetch word in your dictionary.

You see, my first encounter with MR HUMILITY was when I was in grade 3, that was many years ago how come I still remember?

 I remember clearly because of my Teacher’s voice that still keeps echoing even after more than two decades,  his name MR Adeniji .He always told me that ‘ WHAT A CAN CAN CAN, ANOTHER CAN CAN  CAN.. in as much as it feels like tautology, if you  read between the lines, it simply carries a very deep message of humility, meaning what you think you can do another Person can do betteR.

 So my darling stay humble it goes a long  way.

Another Encounter I had  with MR HUMILITY was when I was in Uni ..after writing an exam, I could say I am very sure I will get the best Mark in this score, saying yes, I read a lot and I smashed the question only for results to come out and for me to be told my script was missing.
The Exam was a French course and I have a huge knack for languages and I was definitely sure I was to get nothing less than 80%, but my script went missing. I had to write this Exam again, and I was forced to acknowledge God, but I wish I had done than sooner, I wouldn’t have to re-write the exam..

You can simply see why it is indeed a good thing to stay humble and most importantly acknowledge God. I have learnt a lot of hard lessons, bitter lessons on Humility. This is one of the reason I have adopted a solemn demeanour. Although let’s face the fact, when you achieve a great milestone, it is easier for you to think highly of yourself and look down on your contemporaries and say “ oh yes I have arrived”.. please strongly resist the Temptation.

Strongly Resist it, because
"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

YOUR ROD AND STAFF

Image
Image from Google I grew up in Sub-Saharan Africa, a place with lots of plantation and vegetation, a place where Rod signifies  discipline  and Staff   Signifies Royalty and Authority.  A    place where everything is totally different from the status quo of the Western World.   9.999 out of 10 African Parents  use a rod as  a means to discipline their children. Sadly a child that has no rod to put him to order is believed to Stray, Stray away, Get lost in the wilderness of life.   Have you ever wondered why the Rod comes before the Staff in the bible, God our heavenly father, uses his rod to chastise us when we stray from his path, after which he comforts us with his staff after we’ve come back to him. He then prepares a table before us in the PRESENCE OF OUR ENEMIES…   Tell me , how better can that get? what more  can you ask for?  You have a Father that loves you well enough to correct you,...

LAMP UNTO MY FEET, LIGHT TO MY PATH!

Image
  WOW!!!  2020 AD(After the death of our Lord), I mean it's not over but we can both attest to the fact that it's been an extraordinary year!  Don't give me an horrible look cos the fact that you are able to read this actually means it's an Extraordinary year!, Our life has been transformed, for most of us forever!  Sigh! But you know one thing that has been constant! The word of God! During the course of the week, one verse stood out for me "The word of GOD is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path" Let's break it down.... Imagine having a lamp under your feet? How is that even possible! But that's what the word God does. Having a lamp unto a feet  means  we will never walk alone,  We will never be confused,  we will never be in darkness,  we shall always know what to do! I want the Lamp! The word of God is also a light unto my path!  This is deep! well, it depends on the context that which you are looking at it from, in my own term...
