CHAINS PART 1- THE BASIS

Unless he is mad, no man smiles when bond with chains. How be it, multitudes of people giggle and laugh in chains. 

Chain!

The Advanced Learners Dictionary defines chain to be “a bond, fetter, confinement or captivity- a thing which prevents freedom of action”. 


Though, chain is a multi-contextual word, we will be dealing with the ‘confinement context’ of it.


When one is chained, movement is restrained. Then, such is said to be confined. 


According to the law of nature, every living thing moves. Movement is one of those things that confirms a thing has life. This does not only have to do with physical movement but internal and in all wise.


We have various types of movements, it is possible for a man to be in chains and still be able to move, but definitely not forward or as fast as he should move.


Many people are confined to one spot on the journey of purpose(though you see them moving physically), not because of  lack of wisdom nor the knowledge of God but because of chains.


God's desire for every human being created is for us to reach the peak of our purpose, because that is the only way He can be glorified. So unfortunate, many purposeful men are in chains. We only see the movement of foot, we can not really see purpose moving higher.


In the last two years, I have the opportunity to interact with countless of youths with great visions and ambition but looking at them, they feel so helpless, there is a sequence of chains!


If a man must reach the height of his purpose in life, he must break the chain! I mean the sequence of chains!


I have discovered these sequence of chains, they are so strong that they have confined so many purposeful men to a spot.


 Identity crises, the past and the praise of men-complacency are this sequence of chains.

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...
