I NEED YOU

-
****************
One of the greatest lessons I have learnt in life is that I can't do things all on my own, neither can you. WE NEED PEOPLE. We really do.
Let me use MOSES as a case study. When the Israelites were in the war front. Moses had the onus to perform his duty as the leader. Nevertheless, he couldn't do it on his own. He needed someone to help him to raise his hand up for the Israelites to win the battle (Exodus 17:8-16). Another instance was when Moses kept doing the leadership work all by himself. The workload was becoming too much for him alone. Thank God he had a father-in-law who could give him GOOD ADVICE AND COUNSEL (Exodus 18:17-27). Maybe he wouldn't have lived up to 120 years of age.
God created us to interrelate and depend on one another. Nevertheless, some people prefer to do things all on their own. People who do this, do it for different reasons… it may be that they just like being independent, it may be because of pride, low self esteem, insecurity or lack of confidence to approach others. Whatever the reason may be, I can assure you that it will not be beneficial in the long run.
As I was meaning to say earlier before I digressed, I have learnt that there are destiny helpers that have been assigned to help me. I need them, just as they or other people need me. That is why I like this prayer point: “Lord, let those that You have destined to help me hear of what I am passing through and come to my aid in Jesus’ name”.
You need people to help you get to your destination. The earlier you understand this the better for you. I have realised it, that is why I don't see it as a weakness to ask for help when I need it. There were times when I have done things half way and to complete it, I'll have to ask friends and/or family for financial assistance. I ask o. This is because I have realised that I need them. I need people to hold my hand, so that just like Moses; my victory is sure and I need someone to give me good counsel too. I CAN'T DO IT ALL ALONE. Most times, people may turn you down, but when you get to your own helper, you will get the help you deserve.
DON'T BE TOO SHY OR PROUD TO ASK FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT. Remember, you need me and I NEED YOU.

CARELESS WORDS

  ********************* There is a fact we need to always take cognisance of: WORDS are POWERFUL! WORDS CAN EITHER MAKE OR BREAK A PERSON OR A RELATIONSHIP. Words can move a person to tears or propel laughter. Someone once said, “Words are sometimes more destructive than nuclear bomb”. Well, it's true, so you need to be careful how you speak to people or address a person. Some hurtful words can make the recipient feel so bad, feel mentally battered or even begin to have suicidal thoughts. A thought that just came to my mind concerning the effect of words is this: Comedians make people laugh, what do they use? WORDS! The suicide bombers are manipulated to carry out their dastardly act through what? WORDS! They are usually not forced to become suicide bombers, all their manipulators use are WORDS. YOU SEE THE POWER OF WORDS? God made the world through words. That means IF THE RIGHT WORDS CAN CREATE, THE WRONG WORDS CAN ALSO DESTROY WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED. Be mindful of what you say.

CELEBRATING IMPACT:- MR EMMANUEL

Mr. Emmanuel was one of my favourite teachers in secondary school. He was our Christian Religious Studies (CRS) teacher. HE WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. That subject he taught; CRS is a subject that most students usually find boring and uninteresting . But I can assure you that CRS is not boring, only the teacher teaching it can make it appear to be so. THE WAY AND MANNER A TEACHER TEACHES A SUBJECT CAN DETERMINE WHETHER STUDENTS WILL LIKE IT OR NOT. Also, have you noticed that if a student dislikes a teacher, it affects the student's attention span on that subject and by extension affects their performance in that subject? That takes me back to Mr. Emmanuel. There was never a dull moment in this man's classes despite the fact that he teaches one of the subjects students term 'boring'. Muslims or Islamic students who saw how he explained the topics in Christian Religious Studies and gesticulates always snuck into his classes so as not to be left out of the fun that is usua

THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN

In life, there are times when opportunities are either given to us or handed down to us. Opportunities given are the ones you get NOT because you are related or affiliated to the the giver. Opportunities handed down are the ones you get BECAUSE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP or affiliation to the giver. Some have been given opportunities that has turned them into billionaires. Maybe all they needed was capital to bring their ideas into reality. They get the money and boom! They become rich. This happened because they did not waste the opportunity they were given. They used it well, and become successful as a result. Many people have gotten some huge opportunities that they've wasted. This happens when the opportunity looks like a small deal or it is just not looking like an opportunity.  Thomas Edison said "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work".  Take note, NOT ALL Opportunities WILL LOOK LIKE OPPORTUNITIES at first, so it is le
