We all
started the month of October, with different things on our plate but not all of
us got to finish our dish, but some people have exited the restaurant in ways
you can’t imagine……..
They
were birthed the same way as you, their mothers had the same plan as yours,
they also wanted something
better out of life, they made plans of the
future……….
Biringa
Chiadika Lordson would like to make some remarkable achievements in art as he
graduated from the University of Port-Harcourt.
Ugonna
Kelechi Obuzor in his second year would like to be counting the number of years
left for him in school.
Mike
Lloyd Toku will do all he can to give his parents a good result, during his
time in school
Tekena
Erikena will be more than happy for his friends that they were in school and he
would like to see progress in his own life as well…………..
(You can
Google Uniport Boys or Amanda Todd to know the full story!)
Immediately
some people heard the news, about the Uniport boys and Amanda Todd, they were
quick to judge, and made judgments like they were some god with a perfect life.
Before
some people knew the true story behind the Uniport boys they already said that
the boys deserved death since they were portrayed as thieves……..
Its
only a hard hearted and cold blooded human with a heart of stone with no regard
for human life that would watch that video and think those boys deserved death!
I was
in Accra Ghana in a market waiting for my wrist bands, for names to be
inscribed on them, when my classmate showed me the video, I wasn’t myself for
the next one hour, I was in state of shock! I kept on saying no matter the
crimes of these people they did not deserve death! At all! No way!
It was
not too long I posted an article “PLAY GOD” on how people in Nigeria are quick
to lynch people if they are caught and paraded for stealing….
But
something went wrong along the line; someone took advantage of them, of their
vulnerability and made them miserable for the remaining time they had left on
planet earth.
A time
you would wish your enemy not to spend his last days like that!
Don’t
judge………..
There’s
this one rule that keeps me from judging people, “whatever flaw you see in
people and you judge them, will be the same thing you’ll be doing”, it’s true!
I have seen the same thing that I criticize in people happen to me (Matt 7:2)
No one
is perfect, learn to correct in love, you might do the same thing if you were
in their shoes!
There’s
a Yoruba proverb that says “it’s only the person that’s wearing the shoe that
knows where it itches”………..
Take
time out before you go criticizing people in the spot light, they are human
like us, and they can afford to make mistakes!
My friend
once said that, these people have cameras tailing them day and night, with
their every movement right there in the papers for you to read and run them down,
on Facebook for you to share and chastise, and on twitter for you to retweet
and laugh your butt out!
You
would actually show case some terrible acts, when tailed by the camera all day!
We’ll not only know you for what you are but who you really are!
I’m
saying don’t judge but at the same time I’m not saying all the acts of the people
in the lime light are always right!
Mercy
of GOD (Rom 9:15)
It’s
sad when people say there’s no GOD, (Ps. 14:1), its not only with your words
you can say there’s no GOD but with your actions!
People
tend to forget that what they are today is by HIS mercies!
You’re
no way better than Amanda Todd or those Uniport boys, you probably did more
ridiculous things in school, and got away with it!
Some people did some really stupid things
online and they are not in any way in danger!!
We are
what we are by HIS mercies!! (Lam 3:22)
Be more
grateful and achieve a lot……………..
Something
to take from all of this, and the way people are dying unexpectedly around the
world is this, “we have a few seconds left”,(Ps. 39:5) on this stage “LIFE”, in
just a moments the show might be over, you’re left with just a little
opportunity to prove to GOD “who HE made” and “to the world what you are” (Matt 5:16), before you see the
“Coming of CHRIST you don’t know”………
You
might have a life that’s not behind bars, you might have never had the course
to be charged to court or have to go to rehab, your life may be following the
plan its meant to……..
The
people having the cuffs on their hands don’t wish to have it, you may think
they deserve what they’re getting, they are not having a good time at all, they
wish their life turned out right and they did not let down so many people in
their lives…….
The
person sitting on the electric chair, wishes his life turned out right like the
person about to read his sad story in the papers.
Next
time you see someone in a place you wish never to be in, look at the person not
with an attitude of thanksgiving that you’re not in their shoes, but with heart
compassion that it could have been me, because they’re human like me, they
deserve a life that I have but something just went wrong somehow, somewhere,
and I’m grateful for your mercies O LORD!……………………….
The
gift of the life, should be like wine, it should get better as it gets older,
accomplish while you have the time, never envy people, or put them down, ‘you’re
not better neither are they’, the one thing that should run through your mind
is…………….
It could have been me doing that did that evil
thing!! Be grateful for the mercies of the LORD! That everything went well and
it’s going right! And if it’s not, appreciate the fact you’re alive (Ps. 150)!!
It could have been you thank GOD you’re having a nice
run!
