MEEKNESS

Image
By
   Fine! The opinion of many is that Meekness is synonymous to Humility, this might be true but in a frank word, Meekness has a deeper meaning.
   Meekness is the highest state of Humility. It is Humility shown in all. Humility shown in words, appearance, speech, dressing, behaviours, relationships and in the presence of God. 
    When Jesus was enlightening people about the Principles of the kingdom on the mount, He said "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5. He was talking about a total Humility with patient, forgetting yourself in the hollow of Humility, taking things so easily. As a popular Yoruba Adage implies "Patience can cook stone". Truly, the meek will inherit the earth because they are so patient and cool with everyone regardless of their status and every situations.
   Being Meek is far beyond obedience to elders and learders. It is far beyond showing a kind attitudes to parents and families. It is being considerate and temperate with and in ALL!
    Meekness entails being perfect. A meek person is good to all without loosing his personality,(when you are able to define your true identity, you will be secure enough to let down yourself and be meek) he will never react to the touch of anger, he is emotionally balanced, he will rather take the blame than to shame another person.
    Someone might ask, who can be perfect? The answer should be "no one" but I will say, every human being are perfect and can perfectly demonstrate the perfection built in them by God. If you want to justify this, study a New-born child, you will realize that, it is so tender, meek and patient as God has created it, until it comes in contact with the nature of human (sin) and know sin. So, when the baby is touched with the nature of sin, pride creeps in, it is now the work of individual at that point to work on themselves and get restored into the divine nature (meekness), because the only key to enjoying the fullness of God's blessings is Meekness.
    Then, the problem with our generation is that we take the Meek to be Fools, we call them fools because they don't fight, because they are so tender to understanding every one, we forget that, that is the original nature God has built in man, so we could live peacefully on earth and enjoy all His blessings to the fullest. Psalms 37:11" But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace."
    To my dear youths, Your youthful age is the best time to build yourself into a complete, whole and balanced person according to the planned purpose of God. Therefore, if you fail to develop yourself in a particular aspect while you are still young, the undeveloped aspects will ruin the developed parts when you grow old and by then it would have been too late to build anything anymore.
   However, Meekness is an habit or a nature you must by all means work to build into your life at the very early stage. Remember you can not do it all by yourself, the Holy Spirit will help you if you have a relationship with Him and if you don't, it is simple. First accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, then He will cleanse you and send His Holy Spirit into your Spirit. This Holy Spirit is the one who will guide you to all truth and perfection.

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....
