HUMILITY

Image
By
Humility is an act of revering oneself and others. When we talk about humility, some people think it is all about bowing down and kneeling to greet everyone, it is totally out of it.
   Humility is a thing of the heart, humility is an act of giving honour to yourself and spreading it to others around you. Unlike Pride that ascribe all the glory and praise to itself, humility seeks to honour God, itself and others.
     Humility is having a sense of dignity and spreading it to all. Humility is not not in anyway synonymous to low self-esteem, self-neglect or self-hatred. Humility is a well of peace and satisfaction with yourself within you which you are secure enough to spread across to another. It is not thinking of yourself less, it is thinking less about yourself. Meaning, you are secure enough to bring yourself low to focus on the goods and well being of others. Lack of Self-Security is the number one reason for being proud, but a man who is secure in himself humbles himself and submits even to the "less" than him while his dignity remains.
No matter how rich or poor, Humility is not selfish as Pride. Pride is Selfish and it is always ME, I and MYSELF. Humility is considerate in all, Conscious of words, so that it do not hurt or expose the negative sides of people.
    Humility is a virtue, especially in the kingdom of God. Humility reveres God and every other creatures of God

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....

The Best Way To Fight Against Poverty

By
Poverty simply means lack of basic necessities of life. It means being poor in a specific aspect. Meaning that, one could be poor financially (Financial Poverty), spiritually (Spiritual Poverty), intellectually (Intellectual Poverty), morally (Moral Poverty). Appearantly, the major focus of the world is financial poverty. You are seen as being poor when you are broke. However, being broke is not the source nor the head of poverty. A man may be financially poor but intellectually, spiritually and morally rich. I often say it that, "money is not all man needs for life". So, if all you have or crave for is money, you are still a pauper. Financial Poverty is one of the strongest tools of the devil to win people into his kingdom. It is so strong that, even the so called "annointed of the Lord" are falling into the devil's trap through the tool.  Our society, especially a country like Nigeria where majority of the citizens are subjected to financial povert...
