The Youth Proverbs (Vol.12):: "No Blood No Glory"

No blood no glory,
No glory no blood,
Why shed the blood, when no glory?
If you crave the glory, you must shed the blood.
You've got no straight path to walk through.
All paths are rough, All are tough,
Your blood makes 'em straight,
You boycott, you pay harder later.

Let it drip,
It's a step at a time,
A drip of blood, a straight step,
Step by step and it's a thousand miles.

Grow through the paths,
Or you boycott to blow,
If you blow, you may off the light,
It pays to drop the blood and grow!

You've got the big project,
You've got your life purpose,
You've got your life course,
You pay your blood, you get the success.

Now is the time to shed the blood,
Your sacrifices are streams of blood shed.
Your time is the blood,
Your energy is the blood.

Your failures and mistakes!
Passion! Self denials!
Your money!
They drip to make your way straight.

Your time with your creator,
Your time to fine your crudeness,
Your passion to take a step in the dark times,
Your last kobo to get it done.

All, you must pay now!
Else you pay your all when you blow,
A drip of blood, a step with a cubit of strength,
And your glory is strengthful.

It's seems so long a journey, 
But look back and see the miles,
How hundreds and thousands of miles,
With a step by step move you've passed.


In a Nutshell;
Every youth wants it fast and as fast as possible. Many of them get tired of the roughness and toughness on their paths of success. Eventhough, there's always a shortcut provided by the enemy of man, Satan. The best to choose is not the shortcut, but the true way. Why, because as you walk through the path, you are growing through your course and at the end you are the strongest. And if you refuse to shed the blood, you will have to shed your breath after boycotting.
        God is the wisest, He always has greater plans for His children, but He doesn't take you there by magic. He always wants to train you here for the next step. So in His agenda, there's no catapult (although His mercy does that, but not in a way to make man lazy or to trivialize the importance of sacrifice),  but staircases. He wants you to do it one step at a time, so that you would know the value of the sacrifices you are paying.  He wants us strengthened, He wants us to pay the price of so we can value the glory.
       Jesus Christ God in man, who came to die for the sin of humanity could make it happen in a godly way. Meaning, in such a supernatural way. But the principle remains that, without blood, no glory can be birthed. So, the pain must be felt. Before Jesus received the crown of glory in heaven He was first humbled to become like man, leaved, ate, dwelled on earth, suffered and died on the cross. In one of his encounters with His disciples, He told them that the blood He's about to shed is for the glory of the new testament. "And He said to them, This is My blood [which ratifies] the new covenant..." (Mark 14:24a). However, if any new thing would spring forth, blood must be shed, a price must be paid.
       Now to dearly youths who still have their strength in full, those who desire to make a change in their generation, I am saying, it can never be without blood (a high price). You must be so ready to pay the price, if not, you will end up nowhere.  Part of the high price is self denials. You must be determined to take your eyes off the youthful lust and get eyes straight forward. The pathway is not smooth.
Jesus christ in agony let out the last drop of blood he had to birth the new testament (covenant). No blood, no glory.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

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."

TIME AND SEASON

Time simply means passing periods, that is, the progressive movement of period. Time is progressive. Time is measured in minutes and hours. Basically, The seasons are the main periods into which a year can be divided and which each have their own typical weather conditions.  Season can also refer to the period during which a particular activity or event takes place. Time and season work pari passu. Season expires in the progression of time, and time swallows up each season.     The life we live as human being is for a season (period of time), and whatever we do here on Earth awaits judgement. Hence, man passes through different stages of life which are marked by seasons. There are five (6) major stages of human life, they are; Infancy, Childhood, Puberty,Adolescence, Early Adulthood, Mid-Adulthood and Late Adulthood. These stages is what I further group in to  four (4) seasons of human life which are; The Infancy/Childhood Stage/Puberty T...
