NATURE (JAMES 1: 19)

By -




sometimes ago, I was opportune to be  in a gathering aiming at settling a dispute between mothers and their kids. Having listened carefully to their own side of the story, well, it all resulted in a positive resolution.

But what actually happened? Well, something tiny, just a touch of misconception. A verbal tussle between the kids, and their mum took it the wrong way.


After they may have reached a denouement, I was moved to meet one of those kids. And I told him, my friend: mothers are one of the most loving creatures I have ever seen, they don't want to see their kid(s) sad or cry without getting to know the reason(s). And because it hurts you, it hurts them too, so they will use whatever means to erase that ugly memory, even if it will cause them to fight.

They want to see their kids playing the lead role in everything, they want to see their kids happy at all times, they don't want to see their nine months pain moody. 

So for this cause, my friend,

 "Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath." Never tell mum everything you hear because love will never allow her to overlook a good number of them, and these will always lead to trouble. Please don't get me wrong.


Now that's exactly what nature looks like.

Nature loves you so much that you are going to be in heat at the appointed time.

Nature loves you so much that you are going to see everything that comes your way. Be it good, bad or ugly.

Nature loves you so much that you are going to hear everything, I mean everything.


But do you really want to hear the truth about Nature?


A total submission to nature is as bad as losing your position in the kingdom of God. It means selling your birthright. It means trampling on your relationship with God. It is as bad as being a reprobate ( a hardened sinner).


Now let's look at it this way -

It is the characteristics of the eye to see; ear to hear, heart to be carried away by emotion, the mind to think about everything. 

But, it is in your power to control them all, it's in your place to decide for them because if you do not decide for  them, they will definitely decide for you and you shall one day lose everything you have ever laboured for, including the kingdom of God.


Brethren!

God is sounding this to us today. "Never give way to nature because it will never stop loving you"

Jesus Christ loves you.

 " If I had to give young writers advice, I'd say don't listen to writers talking about writing" - Lilian Hellman Addressing young writers, Lilian Hellman aired her opinion in what seems to be young writers want-to-hear statement (e.i what should I do as a young writer who wants to succeed in my writing career?). Well, she did justice. Hellmann's piece of advice doesn't just revolve around writing, it could be applied to all facets of human endeavor/profession. Could one ever say that Hellman was ignorant of the fact and need for young writers to seek advice regarding their pursuits in life which may likely help them? No. Hellman understood that some of these advice poses great fear and disbelief in oneself. Sometimes those you seek advice from kills the to-do and to-be spirit in you, or still, inject in you something that will always question every progressive steps you take. Some years ago(when I wanted entering the university), I went and seeked advice from...

TO MY BELOVED DAUGHTER

Thoughts Appetizer  Google Blog Online. Dear Jessica,  It gladens my heart watching you grow to becoming who I had raised you to be. It wasn't easy, but of a truth, I can tell you that the result is worth the suffering, and I shall never again be subjected to that level of having to live below my wants just to make sure you are okay.  Today I believe so much in you as my right hand child, my very strength to feel among, and to recover that which I have lost in the cost of raising you. But, no one takes it all! You've only sailed through a phase, another has opened, and here, you are likely to be a total stranger, an alien. What you don't know, you don't know; and unless you are told, you are bound to misbehave. At this level where my little efforts have propelled you, I can boldly say that to a very great extent, you have power, you have voice, you have decision.  But you should also understand that- the days are evil. Today, you have a good paying job, your own hous...

Correction for growth

  “If you've not seen anything wrong with your yesterday then you aren't growing, and I must congratulate you for giving ego such a big name. But I have to say this: that man(ego) is planning to sift you like wheat” A man's growth should be such that- when he looks at yesterday, he sees those things he did not do well and improve upon them. That's why we need and have innovation. Our characters, social life, moral upbringing, even in our thoughts, they should be linked to this principle without which we will be doing same thing and expecting a different result. This-is-how-they-use-to-do-it or This-is-how-I-use-to-do-it is primitive, archaic. A person affected by this self made dogma has a brain aboriginally designed to reject the true future, you are designed for isolation.  Paraphrasing his statement- Ryan Holiday said: men of principle rarely go without having to compromise their principle(s). Sometimes it doesn't mean that these principles are bottle-necked, it...
