COPIED! BUT VERY INTERESTING

"Long time ago in the Animal Kingdom, a sheep was passing and saw a lion crying inside a cage trap and the lion begged the sheep to save him with a promise not to kill and eat it but the sheep refused.

After much persuasion and for the sheep's gullibility it opened the cage for the lion.
Now the lion was very hungry having stayed in the cage for days without food.
It quickly grabbed the sheep to kill and eat but the sheep reminded him of his promise.
They were still there arguing when other animals came passing and they sought to know what happened.

Both the lion and the sheep narrated their own side of the story but because of fear and in trying to gain Favour in the sight of the lion, all the animals took side with the lion except the Tortoise who claim not to understand the whole scenario.

Now the Tortoise asked the lion to show them where he was before the sheep rescued him, he pointed at the cage.
He asked again, "were you inside or outside when the sheep arrived"? The lion said he was inside.
The tortoise again said "ok, enter lets see how difficult it could be inside".
The lion entered and the tortoise locked him back inside.

In amazement the other animals asked tortoise "why" and he replied "if we allow him eat the sheep today, he will still go hungry tomorrow and we don't know the next amongst us to be eaten tomorrow.

Moral:

Don't support evil today because it doesn't affect you directly, tomorrow it could be your turn".

The wisdom of God surpasses all others, if you posses it you've got it all, but if you do not, then you are way down the pack or not there at all. So seek the Lord with all your heart, with all your might not leaning on your own understanding and you would gradually begin to walk with God's wisdom and ultimately get to the top.

*Save your home from collapse/*

She went into the house to get something but the sight she beheld stood her transfixed momentarily.

She was shocked beyond description.

It was the body of her husband hanging from a rope tied to their ceiling fan.
Finally she gave out a spine chilling wail that attracted the attention of the neighbours. They (neighbours) rushed into their two rooms’ apartment to know the cause of such wailing.

Indeed they were shocked themselves.

Some of Her fellow women were consoling her while some cried with her. Some of the male neighbours made plans and contacted the deceased family and the police.

His body was taken away.

He left no su***de note and that increased her misery as she couldn’t fathom what could push her beloved husband to taking his own life. In her grief, she kept wondering why such an ugly thing happened.
Could it be diabolic?
Was he murdered and hung there?
Was it spiritual remote control?
All these and more ran through her mind as she tried to wrap her head around the mystery.

But the answers lied with her.

She was the architect of her problems.
She killed him indirectly.

He was an Okada (commercial motorcycle) mechanic before Okada was banned in the state. That put him out of job.

But before his ‘joblessness’, he was in his own way a loving father and husband. He made sure his family lacked nothing. His three children attended an average private school in the area. Food was never scarce in the house.

He made sure of that.

Rents were promptly paid, other bills also. He visited his in-laws generously at interval.
Practically he provided his family with the basic needs of life and made them happy. During his fruitful years in the Okada, business he opened a roadside restaurant for his wife and it was flourishing.
Then the table turned and the wife’s business became the source of the family’s livelihood.

That was the Beginning of his End.

Verbal abuse became his plight.
Within few months, the once darling husband became ‘’a useless man’’. She didn’t mind what she said to him, after all she’s the boss and his benefactor. The bible quote ‘’he who cannot take care of his family is worse than an infidel’’ became a resonant song to his ears.

He heard it every day.

The most heart wrecking part to him was that the place of the verbal abuse and insults was not discriminated. She said it to him anytime and anywhere.

He became the wife of the house and did all the house chores just to prove his usefulness. Sometimes he served in her restaurant seeking relevance. Yet it was nothing as far as it didn’t yield money.

As time went on his mind started playing on him. He started believing he’s truly useless. His thoughts were: it could actually be true. They could actually be better off without me. A mouth less to feed could help.
His initial plan was to run away from his family with no trace.
Be he couldn’t bear the shame.

These thoughts were still on his mind when the switch flipped.

On one of the days he served in her restaurant, she told him she regretted marrying him. That her greatest mistake in life was choosing to marry him out of all the reasonable and useful men who sought her hand in marriage.

This was in the presence of her costumers.

She had helped him decide.

He went home before every of his family members. The children were in school and the wife at her restaurant.

The result was what she beheld.

Now that was just a story but can we reflect on it?
Women how often have you pushed your man to the edge with foul words? Are you waiting for his su***de before you change your ways? It must not be about financial incapacity. It could be sexual, educational or others.

Men are you guilty of this? Have you been dehumanising her with foul words because of certain incapability of hers? Change your ways before her co**se hangs.

Verbal abuse contributes to the increasing rate of depression and su***de.

We can help reduce it.

Your marriage is a test of your true love and maturity. Let your marriage give hope, transparency, true love to your children and next generation.

Shalom

I NEVER GET TIRED OF READING THIS STORY...

During World War 2, a soldier was separated from his unit on an island.
The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades.
Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction.
Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves.
Although safe for the moment, he realised that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed.
As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, please spare my life. Whatever will happen, I love you and trust you. Amen."
After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close.
He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one."
Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave.
"Hah" he thought, "What I need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does have a sense of humour."
As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness of his hide out and could see them searching one cave after another.
As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand, but then he heard the leader of the soldiers say:
"you may as well ignore looking in this cave ...if he had entered here this web would be broken!" So they left and he was delivered!
To his amazement, however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on.
Suddenly he realised that with the spider web over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while.
"Lord, forgive me," he prayed. "I had forgotten that in you a spider's web is stronger than a brick wall. He will use the most foolish things in this world to confound the wise!
God is your protector, if you believe in him. Bless someone with this story.

THE RESURRECTION

I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernel – A plentiful harvest of new lives.
(John 12: 24 NLT),

The purpose and eternal plan of God for human race is to reconcile them back to Himself. Man, at one point in time became completely banished from his creator because of the sin of disobedience, which led to the severance of our access to Him. We were not only disconnected, we also lost our authority and power to rule on earth. For this very same reason, were we also subjected to God’s wrath.
(Eph 2:3).

But God’s love was so great for mankind that He had to send his only begotten son Christ Jesus (Matthew 3:17) to be sacrificed as a living offering for our sin, to deliver us from the grip of the evil one. This he did by first putting on sin (Gal 1:4) for these same reason as to bringing humanity to God, through himself a living sacrifice; a lamb slain for the sin of all.
(Eph. 1:4-7).

God could only achieve this through the sacrifice of his only begotten. His resurrection after crucifixion, proof of his VICTORY over death.
(1 Cor 15:17-19)

If Christ had died without resurrecting it would have meant;

 our faith in God through Him (Jesus) would be unfounded
 we would still be guilty of sin,
 we would be lost, and hopeless (more to be pitied)

But glory be to God, Christ resurrected and He is alive. Hence, our faith in Him is sure,
 Our guilt has been wiped off,
 We are now reconciled to our heavenly father and
 We now have a hope that cannot be put to shame
