Crushing places of life always precede an anointing coming in your life

Seek the wisdom that will untie your knot; seek the path that demands your whole being. Leave that which is not, but appears to be; seek that which is, but is not apparent.”

― Rumi
so dressing up for work this morning, I saw a pastor from a different ministry in a very colorful shirt. I walked up to him later and said to him " this is a very nice shirt but you see one thing that strikes a chord within me anytime I spot a synthetic color , I mean a manmade color, a natural color that man has done all he can according to his ability within which ever century to replicate or clone .to make his look like Gods. This"look like" means its not the original. This observation can be compared to diverse aspects of our everyday issues in life.these "look likes" can be seen in our friendships, marriages,the office we hold ,our reputation, character, the number of children we have,the family from which we came or are part of or are associated to ,the school we attended or attend etc. We wear these manmade colors with pride ,happiness and assume they are wealth.our source of selfworth . Sometimes with arrogance we wear these dyed materials of color !!. But what don't we see? We see that after few washes they fade . they bleach. And what remains? The material on which the synthetic colours were dyed . I will call the material the essence.the original. Because it's what remains when every fake is gone. This is why the TRUE nature of things or humans Can better be seen from the lenses of the metaphysical .this lens solves the puzzle....will this or that fade or is it original? Because we need this answer to be stable as humans.we can't afford to be oscillating without having progress in this short life span of ours.we need TRUE understanding.we need stability in our thoughts if we should have TRUE progress. And so before our TRUE essence,our TRUE nature our individuality can outsmart the debris that has engulfed it from prominence, the things that wash away.the permanent things,the passing things must be exposed must be made naked , must be undressed for the original to stand out . And when the original stands out , TRUE development TRUE progress shows itself.
We begin to make strides strides that heretofore was a mirage.we begin to find joy ,fulfilment,hope and these begin to infest those people around us and all over the world. Today there's no commodity that man is hungering for that is elusive to man than what we call the four hungers of life of which love is one. Love has been shrouded in secrecy love has been clothed within FALSE teachings so much so that it has become very expensive or better still non existent . It has become one of the most missed or invited in our homes ,offices etc and yet cannot be found because it has been shrouded by falsehood. Many will give anything for love and expect satisfaction or security in it but it could not be found. And until man begins to cut through the cheese, am afraid we will hunger till death.

Approaching life with innocence or knowledge as vehicle is a limitation .Faith is above all .faith urshers man into realms heretofore undreamed of because faith is bigger than man can ever predict the things thereof. Just as man may mistake the body as the ultimate ,knowledge is also mistaken often times as knowledge . And all we come to say on the plateform of knowledge become incongruent with wisdom. Because knowledge has become the lens or prism through which we make our private discussions but also our public discussions .
And as long as knowledge has become man's means of instruction and conviction, man will continue to live under the banner of knowledge until man is so beaten down to mediocrity to the level that wisdom is embraced.because God !!!has made knowledge so limited that wisdom must be sort by the humble soul.
Rest in Peace T.B. Joshua

I’m constantly reminded, as I involve myself more and more with humanity, that we are not perfect. Some people and situations bring out the best us in, while others seem to bring out the worst.

But if we are persistent, if we learn from our mistakes, if we push through, in spite of our struggles or setbacks, we will not just survive, we will win!

Winning is our true identity. Struggle is just the path to get there.

Take to heart from this lesson about the Catfish and Cod as you navigate your way through your day today.

At the turn of the century cod fish were in much demand on the east coast. News of the tasty fish quickly spread across the country all the way to the west coast. There was however a problem. How could they get the cod fish across the country and still keep it fresh?

They tried to freeze the fish and send it by rail, the fastest means at the time. But when it was prepared it turned out to be very mushy and lacked flavor.

Then someone decided to ship the fish live turning railroad cars into huge saltwater aquariums. When the cod fish arrived they were alive but when they were prepared they were still mushy and tasteless.

After studying the cod fish someone discovered that their natural enemy was the catfish. This time when the cod fish were put in the tanks, they placed a few catfish in with them. Those catfish chased the cod fish all the way across the country to the west coast.

This time when the cod fish were prepared, they were flaky and had the same flavor as they did when they were caught fresh and prepared on the east coast. You see, the catfish kept the cod from becoming stale.

Life Puts Catfish In Our Tank On Purpose

As we progress through life, Life will make sure we have plenty of ‘catfish’ in our ‘tank.’ Our catfish may come in the form of a bully, a teacher or coach we don’t like, or another person we don’t get along with. It may come in the form of a dysfunction or attitudinal challenge within our own soul.

Sometimes our catfish can be a setback or disappointment, even a catastrophic failure in business or some other major area of life. But regardless of what form our catfish comes in, it’s main purpose is not to destroy us, but to define and refine us — to keep us from becoming stale.

And it makes me wonder what kind of catfish God has put in your life tank. To the Isrealites He put Pharoah. To Joseph He put his brothers

This girl was very quite I said assuringly . But what every one realized later on was that she was battling a chronic sickness for over a decade.
So every time the night arrived and left for day to take over, every time the second struck giving way for the minutes and the minutes,the hour, every time she walked forward emotionally,mentally and spiritually she knew she wasn't actually walking forward but backwards to her grave. Physically she was present to laymen but spiritually she was absent.she became absent minded and didn't mind to care for her self.
She Battled wars uncommon to man and only she knew which kind of wars .and so her inner wars inferences dripped into her outer life and men seeing such inferences judged , prejudiced and were convinced that she lazy . And that she had nothing in common with her hard working mother.
She could force some smiles sometimes and she could eat sometimes but these were just spasmodic reactions then she is back into her shell . And these present glories were nothing to be compared with those of her former glories.
But is this how she was before the sickness? For some of us who were near to her and lived with her though for short periods of her days on earth, we knew there was something missing.that what we live with now is a carbon copy of the real self .but not to the extent of herself knowing.
No .she was an average human. Out going,loving .but now her zips and buttons has become the real she and the real she has placed at the background.
How many times have we not judged others out of our ignorance?
How many times have we not prejudiced others out of little available evidence?
According to metaphysics the investigator is rather well positioned within his object of investigation not without.by asking his subject questions not by observations. This is the way of God that's why God is the only worthy judge.
And most often others have notion about you and you don't even know they have such notions because they are observing from the wrong orientation.
Writing her tribute within short notice didn't allow me deeper contemplation of her TRUE life not what life had made her to become.but I rather capitalized on what life had turned her into to write her tribute. Which was wrong.

my contemplations (2) continued from (1) Because if some of my good deeds (as far as I am able to understand those deeds are good by human standards and perhaps not by God's standards) has been reciprocated by bad deeds by the beneficiaries .And some of my bad deeds (as far as I understand are bad by human standards and perhaps bad by God's standards) has been reciprocated by good from the beneficiaries or otherwise, and if my good deeds has been reciprocated by good by their beneficiaries and my bad deeds been reciprocated by bad deeds from their beneficiaries then am tempted strongly to say there must be a God that has been fabricating my destiny out of my fate .
If I gained my enemies even before I was born and not only when I begun making them consciously .
If I gained plenty or harvested plentiful from places I sowed less and harvested less from places I sowed greatly in peoples lives , if my deep love has been reciprocated by shallow love and not deep love in return, if I am made to believe that good deeds doesn't always bring back to me good feedbacks,
Then these and many others interactions leaves me wondering if am the only one building my destiny . If my hard work hasn't always given me back it's worth but most times less and sometimes my expectations has failed me and sometimes i gained assets i didn't work for, then these and many other leaves me wondering if am the only one building my destiny out of my fate .and it leaves me wondering if it's only hard work on my part and grace isn't a portion. And it leaves me wondering how you percieve your life after reading my contemplations
