FOOTSTEP

I live on the last floor of a four storey building and I must admit it is a nice scene to see when I stand in the window to watch the street in the evening whiles enjoying some cool breeze. On the other hand, it turns out to be a sad scene sometimes especially during weekends when I look down only to see bodies being marched to the cemetary for burial.
One question comes to mind whenever I see the dead being carried away. Whose footstep did they follow whiles they were alive and what footsteps did they leave behind? I want to ask us to ask ourselves whiles alive that whose footsteps are we following in life and what footsteps are we leaving behind?
With so many troubles, wars, premature death etc going on these days in our world, we must learn to live a life worthy of emulation as well as learn fron the right person.

Fathers are leaving footsteps for their sons and mothers for their daughters. Take a break and review your life. Review the path you have once trod. Your footsteps are there for you to make a review. Watch out for our footsteps are being watched closely by those behind us and those coming after us.
We are human and I know some of us will surely say we will make mistakes but please give a second thought about your actions or even about your thought before they turn into actions. What story are you telling about yourself now and what story are you going to tell about yourself when you are gone? I know it may not matter much and that one must live his or her own life but never forget that whatever we do in life afects someone in one way or the other.
Your footsteps will be used to follow you or to find out where you are one day. You think you can erase it? You can't my dear because you will stand before you do the cleaning and wherever you stand will surely be another footstep. The only person who can completely erase a footstep is God.

Becareful of what you do, say or even think. Your thought and actions some time back and even today have affected and is still affecting someone somewhere. My thought now on this blog is affecting a family or an individual somewhere and so will your comment.

Take care and have a blessed weekend and please becareful of the footsteps you are leaving behind.

Am out!!!!!

WHEN ANGRY

Anger is one thing that affects us so much in life. I want to ask this simple question;

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN ANGRY? or in other words, WHAT DO YOU DO TO CONTROL YOUR ANGER?

Some prefer to walk away from the scene. Others also will just speak their hearts out and be free. How do you control yours?

Lets share and help each other.

IS THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ASK FOR?

.....When He had come near, He asked him, "what do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again".[LUKE 18:35-43].

Other versions say, "that I might receive my sight". What an answer, how beautiful. This message dropped in me on my way to work this morning. We all have needs. Some of us have a tall list and it includes everything you can imagine or think of. I was trying to find out what people were requesting from God when they had the chance to do so and among those whose request took me into thinking was that of the blind man Jesus healed on His way to Jericho and that of Solomon. Sometimes, God knows very well what we need but He will ask again, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU"?

Are you prepared for such a question? Are you backing your request by FAITH? There is one thing I hear almost all blind men can do perfectly and that is finding the way to their mouth [Just by the way] but the blind Bartimaeus still wanted to see. Some of us are lucky now to have eyes but we still must ask for sight. "We see but we can't see". Its time we stop praying for money, etc and turn our request to other things. The question God is asking is, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU/WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" At first it appears that Jesus asked a seemingly ignorant question "What do you want me to do for you?" It seems to me it would have been intuitively obvious what the blind man wanted. But I think the point is to give this man an opportunity to ask in faith specifically what he wanted. At times our prayers are too vague. Let us learn to also be specific. "THAT I MAY SEE AGAIN" was the answer.

Solomon knew that to rule you will need so many things but when he was given the chance to ask for anything [I Kings 3:5], he said he he needed wisdom. That is simply what he need at that time and I love what God said and all the things He added unto Solomon [1Kings 3:12-13.

Am convinced and forced to say that most of our prayer request are not answered because their are either not specific, not backed by faith or we are asking for things we shouldn't be asking for. Stop the money, wealth and health prayer for a while, change the topic for after seeking first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness, all and I mean all other things shall be added unto you. This man needed sight to literally follow Jesus better. What do you want that will help you to follow Jesus better? Don't be afraid to ask the Lord, nor be hindered by others who may discourage you from doing so.

Have a blessed weekend.
