HUMANITY IN A FRANTIC RACE. #1

-




      "Are you just in a race or you're heading somewhere? In a race, everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win."


  Have you ever heard this saying, "life is a race, if you don't run fast you'll be trampled"? This from time past has been built up as a mindset, a stronghold that humanity cannot just but help to dance to its tune and this has consistently set us in a frantic race. I keep having a deep searching thought and wandering as to when humanity will come to their liberation and cease from the cat race that becomes difficult to pull out from.

   How it all started... Frantic race! The existence of human life commences the moment a sperm fertilizes an ovum(egg cell)—one goal, many competitors—to fertilize an ovum, millions of sperm are set in a race in which one wins the race. That's the beginning of life. Then what becomes the fate of the rest? The door is shut against them. And was it because they didn't run? Of course, they did! To some their competence is being altered by a defect causing a great hindrance in reaching the goal and perhaps some who were healthy were only taking a stroll and unfortunately the door became locked upon their arrival.

    To be continued... As we look at risk factors.

PRESSING ON OR PRESSED DOWN.

   Life is full of "hila-hilos" — ups and downs, and we're responsible for whatever we make out of these seasons. We're encouraged when things are working out according to our plans and discouraged when things happen otherwise. These are normal responses to life situations, but the big matter is how we respond when things are odd.      In seasons when we have a lot against us; opposition, challenges, hard times and others, this is when our real person is put to the test and revealed, and we're the sole determinant of what the outcome of this season will be.   We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.  2 Corin 4:8,9(NKJV)      We can decide if in our troubles and hard times we will allow ourselves to be PRESSED DOWN — discouraged, disappointed and lose hope, or we PRESS ON — keep hope alive and use the rubble to build something be...

LIFE RACE.

        A ll that surrounds the survival of humanity pushes us into running even without knowing what's setting us on a race, nor do we know how to run effectively, nor the end to which we're running. All we know is that we must run. Humanity in different phases of life is constantly being set in a race by different factors, which include: parents' desires, society, the educational system, and peer pressure, to mention but a few, and there seems to be no end to this frantic race.    Have you ever asked yourself these questions before:    • Why am I running?    • Where am I heading?    • How do I run effectively?    If you can't adequately provide substantial answers to those questions, you're at the mercy of the pressures posed to you by the factors listed above.           WHY AM I RUNNING?    I'm running because I know there's a vision before me. Write down this vision. Write it cle...

LEADING AND BLEEDING.

  L eadership is a great responsibility that only those who have given themselves to be rightly prepared are truly fit to take up the task; hence, it's not a position for frivolity. We know there are various leaders, but here my references are to true leaders. Leaders doesn't emerge over the night, they've gone through building processes over the years through which they've had series of tearing and mending, rejection and acceptance, discouragement and upliftment, tears and happiness, agony and relief, yet they kept the focus in their hearts knowing the scars at each checkpoint is a healing balm to those following.   Leaders are not self-centred, such that even in their downtime, they find courage to strengthen the feeble knees.  They go all out with so much compassion and intentionality, with no sense of gain to attend to as many in need of help. These are the ones whose paths are blood-marked, yet with consistency, have been proven by endurance and perseverance. They...
