RELAX! God still works in miraculous ways...

A rich owner of real estate once found an aging couple to be long in arrears in their rent, and so, following his invariable principle of “good business” he decided to evict them. He told his lawyer to follow through the procedure. The lawyer, however, did not present him with an accomplished eviction, so the property owner and the lawyer had a talk. The lawyer said, “I shan’t press your claim. You can get someone else to take the case, unless you’d rather withdraw it.”

The property owner decided to know what was on the lawyer’s mind, “so you think there’s no money in it?” “Oh! There’d be some money in it, since I understand you want to sell the house once it’s empty. But I don’t want the case anyway.” The property owner wondered what’s going on. “Did you get frightened out of it?” “No, not at all.” Replied the lawyer. “Ah-ah! The old coot who doesn’t pay his rent begged to be let off.” Said the angry property owner. “Well! Yes” “And you soften? He begged you and you went musty? That’s a terrible way to do business. If he’d tried that on me. I’d have…”He didn’t beg me to let him off. He didn’t have to say a word to me.” Interrupted the lawyer. Well, he certainly didn’t beg me to let him off, so may I respectfully inquire to whom he did address himself.

The lawyer said quietly, “he addressed himself to God almighty.” “So he fell on his knees when you asked for the rent and he…” replied the property owner angrily. “No. He didn’t know I was there. It wasn’t for my benefit. You see, I knocked on the door and nobody answered. The door was ajar. I thought the old couple might have left already, so I walked in. the place is pretty bare, and I found myself looking through a half open door into a bedroom where a white haired woman was popped up in bed, on pillow. I was just about to clear my throat to let her know I’d come in when she said to someone else in the room: “I’m ready now. You go ahead, pa.

A man who was very old came from the other end of the room and knelt beside the bed. I couldn’t move or say a word then, for the life of me. And the old man prayed, with his hands in the woman’s hands. First he reminded God that they were his submissive children, ma and he, and no matter what he saw fit to bring upon them, they wouldn’t rebel against his will. But it was going to be hard for them to be homeless in their old age, with ma so sick and helpless, and oh, how different it might have been if he had spared only one of their three sons, but the boys were no longer on this earth.

The lawyer wiped his eyes. “I cried then,” he said, “but I still kept very quiet. And then I listened to him reminding the Lord about the safety of those who put their trust in the Lord, and how it wasn’t going to be pleasant to go to the almshouse after a life of living together in a home of their home. And yet, he told the Lord; he knew there is such a thing as a first bargain with ones neighbor, and he ended by asking the Lord’s blessing on…” the lawyer choked up. “Not on me!” the property owner said hoarsely.

Well he mentioned no name. But he prayed for the Lord’s blessing on those who are about to collect their just dues. Well…I tipped out. And that is the end of that case as far as I’m concerned. I’d rather go to the poor house myself than evict that old couple.

He seized the other man’s arms. “Look! I’ll pay their rent myself, right now if you’d let them stay in that house.” “No!” the property owner said. He rose and walked to the window. After a moment he dabbed his eyes. “I’ll let them stay as long as they wish.” He turned and said ruefully, “I wish you hadn’t listened to that petition not intended for your ears or mine.”

The lawyer shook his head. “No it was intended that I hear it and tell it to you. My old mother used to sing about God moving in mysterious way…

“I’ve heard that too.” The property owner said. He twisted the claim paper in his hands, and then tore them up. Well, why don’t you go over there in the morning and uh-take this ten dollar bill and bring them a basket of groceries.”

“I’ll match that ten and bring them a bigger basket.” And-uh-just tell them the rent has been paid, will you?” yes paid in a mysterious way.” The two men smiled at each other.

See you guys soon

If God visits you today unexpectedly....

If God visits you today unexpectedly

Would you do the things you did yesterday

Or wear a mask to show Him how perfect you are?

Would you stroll with Him

To your frequent joints and allow your friends

To call you by the same names they did yesterday

Or would you pretend that you like to stay indoors

And meditate?

When He enters your house

Would you take Him into your bedroom

To see the pictures on your wall,

The Magazines and books you read?

Would you be glad to open your CD rack

And allow Him see the kind of music and videos you play?

Or would you stop Him from encroaching into your privacy?

Okay you are married?

Would you be glad to allow God sit and watch

How you abuse your spouse

Because he/she is stubborn and disrespectful?

Would you bring your mistress home this night

Or spend the night away from your wife and kids

And argue how God endorses marital unfaithfulness

Or you’re gonna be the perfect husband and wife 2nyt?

What about your wardrobe?

Would you be glad to wear your skimpy and scanty attire

And proudly walk around with Him as you always do

since you claim God looks inward?

Or would you so ashamed

And hide them underneath your box?

Again i ask

If God visits you today unexpectedly

Would you welcome Him with a smile?

Or wished he gave you a prior notice?

Sweetheart, you’ve got to know,

God visits you everyday and watches your actions with chagrin or praise

Though you don’t see him, he’s there.

He will reward your actions accordingly

see you soon. have a great day

When I was a child...+ Picture thought

Life is lived in stages primarily as we increase in age. As it were, the older a person, the stronger he should be in dealing with life and people. One naturally outgrows childishness as he becomes older except in the presence of some abnormalities like mental retardation, family curse or the likes.

It is normal if a child displays childish traits because his mind is still tender and unschooled. This of course influences his thought and action in equal proportion. Hence, I wont blame a child if he acts like a child but I will raise an eyebrow when an adult doesn’t act as one. Apostle Paul wrote,

“when I was a child, I spake as a child,

understood as a child and thought as a child

but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”

It is an abuse of adulthood when an adult behaves without discretion or like a toddler continuously because by nature he should be do better and that’s why we are disappointed when we see a fool at forty. I grew up in Northern Nigeria. We use this slang when an adult is in the habit of acting foolishly : “Shi yaro ne” meaning he’s still a child. We joke over this but it’s the truth. A man is a child if he consistently behaves like one. King Solomon writes, “foolishness is found in the soul of a child…” I completely agree.

Deed not age is the factor that measures maturity and for me, it determines our happiness in life too. Despite our all-grown appearance, actions often give us up. It simply means we’ve not been growing or living – just floating. This is a honest question we all should ask ourselves – I’ve asked myself the same question in the wee hours of today. “At my age, does my action synchronize with my age? Don’t be deceived by your intimidating frame and bulky years and hey stop bragging about age if you aint acting as one. Age is the least thing in life to brag about. At age 23, the CEO of Facebook is a billionaire. What are you bragging about? This obviously shows that age alone does not determine success in life. Hence the richest is not the oldest but one who could allow his mind grow with his body. Sometimes, all we have to brag about is age. We say, “I aint your mate or when I was in the university, you were in diapers.” And so what? I don’t know about you, but it bothers me that at my age, I’ve not made history. What’s there to brag about? Anybody who acts like a baby is a baby no matter how old he claims he is because the only part he allows to grow is his body not his mind. That’s an unbalanced growth.

I challenge you to think. More is expected from you today than yesterday because of the maturity and experience that comes with age. If you are fond of repeating the mistakes you made yesterday, you aint growing – that’s a fact. Determine to do things better everyday - It shows that you have overcome yesterday and ready for today.

Today, just like every other day opens another page and place us on another stage. The stage to act better than the days hitherto. Your today’s action and choices should be better than yesterday’s because each day blesses us with afresh strength to live differently and maturely than the day before. Hence, today grants us the opportunity and extra grace to correct the foolishness of yesterday and also to live more discretely in today. Everyday dawns with a new capacity for you to act bigger, talk bigger, think bigger and live bigger because you are. Make the most of it because you will never have another.

I hope this makes sense to you.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

* Yesterday is past, tomorrow is the future. Today is the gift that’s why it’s called the present

* When you waste you money, you are only out of money but when you waste your time, you have lost a part of your life.
