THE ONE BIG FAMILY

 I once overheard two housewives arguing over a glaringly severe matter. I drew closer and realised the topic of the whole debate was instructions and standard.


Now the both women are good friends. They share a kind of relationship that seem to me like a Discipler- disciple relationship.  They are both growing Christians but I think you'll agree with me that not everyone is intentional with what they hear in church,so some are better as a result of application.


Back to the event of the argument. Prior to that, they had been good friends and always there for each other. So on this fateful day, one entered the room of the other, let's say she's Mrs K. Meanwhile, her friend, Mrs J was outside doing the laundry ignorant that her friend was in her room and  had asked her 9years old son for drinking water. The little boy hurried outside innocently to take permission from his mum. No one knew Mrs K was offended by that cute and innocent act. We didn't know that for someone who was dealing with bitterness, a huge piece of burning coal had been added to the other burning ones waiting to consume.


Days turned into weeks and nothing really significant happened when she decided to pour out her heart and believe me she wasn't gentle about it.


Helpless and confused on how to handle the situation, Mrs J hurried to the church to meet their pastor, and her friend followed behind. This was where her voice could be heard. A place void of noise produced by an angry friend.


 When the pastor asked her speak, she said thesame things she had said to any person who cared to hear " Can I not  instruct my own children? Are you having issues with the instructions I gave them for many years now? Do you think it was you I saw before I instructed my children to ask me before giving our stuff out? These things have always been the standard"


Hmmm 🤔


The Standard!!🙌


This reminds me so much about the family I belong. 😁😁When God assembles us in a round table setting to speak to us as sons, it's not because of the devil. He is concerned about you. It is not in actual sense because of the devil. The devil only comes up in the family meeting because we shouldn't be ignorant of his ways. We are aware that he doesn't want us to achieve our Father's purpose for us but our father's instructions are not because of him; IT IS SIMPLY WHAT HE WANTS US TO DO


Love your neighbour!

Replenish the earth!

Subdue it!

Follow me!

THE PHILOSOPHER'S OPINION

A  divided opinion is not very appreciated in a dark room. Everything skill comes handy- carpentry, welding, art but not the lose tongue of a travelling philosopher who loves to hear the sound of his own voice. There's a story you should know...  In the beginning... No, let's begin from now. Four men are stuck in the dark scuffling about the ancient lock on the gate. One is a welder who makes the best of doors in his community. The one next to him who has just delved to the other part of the room in sheer confusion is a carpenter. He was supposed to be in the governor's house to receive his incentive for consistently delivering beautiful furnitures to the governor's quarters. He's a fine young man in his late thirties. The third is an artist whose choicest paintings seat gracefully in museums. He has the curators from various museums begging for his piece. You could tell how his eyes keeps peering at the gate from every angle The fourth and the last who seem to be t...

THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE

  ... When I get to 14 i'll go to master's house. I will serve him better than these older guys. I'll learn to speak exactly as he does When he calls on me i'll scream yes sah! Then i'll have oat to eat i'll have a taste of their kind of palm wine. I'll be his choicest servant and i access into his room I'll steal from him and I'll run away. " Bless me father for I have sinned" "The Lord..." "I did it... I'm sorry... He told me. He taught me that they chose their fate. I felt privileged to be his favourite so I learnt and imbibed everything he told me. I was loyal to the core and that's why he willed half his properties to me" the middle aged man swallowed "and the other half to the church" "Who did what"Father Clement quizzed When the table is set before the universe and all languages, what do you think will be the common ground on which we'll choose to meet? Affluence ? When by the one ...
