DEAR LADY,

Dear Lady,

Be grateful to God for giving you good physique. But, when all what you appreciate about what He has given you is the color of your skin or the colorlessness of it, the contours and the flat tummy, the long hair and shiny nails and graced calf, then I am tempted to say you must learn to be a bit more grateful.

When you take, watch and share more pictures than you read, imbibe and share  God's word with your followers on social media, there is a real problem that needs attention. There is a sure prediction that your follower-ship would wane when what you take pride in begins to be affected by the inevitable decay from the woes of old age.

The number of likes, follows, comments and reactions you get would begin to drop with your increase in age which normally means a fall in the price of your physique on the social media market.

Why give all focus to only one thing from all that God has blessed you with? You have intellect that needs development, a spirit that lives beyond now and in need of food that suffices it. Why not take time to feed the mind with knowledge, your spirit with more of His word and your heart with His purpose? Why not use your beautiful fingers for tasks that last long and leave cherished indelible prints in the lives of those it reaches? You are blessed beyond measure. You cannot accept to live the life the majority is living with all their focus on taking the best shots with just the aim to 'kill em'. You can identify the greater gifts placed in you, develop them with all the seriousness needed and at the end, you would gain more self worth, dignity and better womanhood that you and God would smile at.

Dear lady, I believe you are way more endowed than you cherish. Beyond your looks, explore your other gifts. Your flesh is beautiful, but like grass, it fades away fast. Lay hold on that which lasts. Life has more interesting pages than the screen filled only with your 'beautiful images'.

Develop the other gifts and they give you lasting confidence unaffected by age and time. God help and bless you as you accept my challenge.

EVER-FRESH TRUST

When you think of the manner in which God provided the Israelites with the manna, it seems quite fascinating - Just enough for the day and a warning against keeping the excess for the morrow. God could have decided to give the people of Israel all the manna they might need for the rest of their journey. Or maybe He could have given it at least enough for three days up to a week.  Why did God choose the ‘petty manna flow’ approach? The fact is God knows the heart of man that, once he gets his needs beyond today, he forgets the source of the blessings and oftentimes esteems the blessing more than the one from whom it all flows. He knows what man can and cannot handle. He loves to stay connected to His own on the daily basis. Even though the almighty God is self-sufficient, he cherishes that relationship and seeks ways of maintaining it. He knows that a man who has no thought of God in him is in danger, so he creates ways to bring His own back on a daily basis. C. S. Lewis

BROOM-STICK TAPE MEASURE

Image
It was a practice in remote Ghana in the not too distant past when older family members travel to the city to buy footwear for the younger family members, they would measure the feet of the prospective shoe owner with broom sticks. The way it works is that because most of the people could not tell the sizes of footwear that the individual uses, they would break a locally made broomstick (manufactured from palm fronds or coconut stalks) and align it by the feet and break just enough to match the length of the broom stick with that of the shoe owners. Even in cases when the older ones want to surprise the younger ones which normally occurs during festivities, this special measurement is done when the kids are asleep.
