Let your life be celebrated

Living is one great priviledge we enjoy from the creator. For His pleasure He awards a life worth so much. One that has on its account much achievements, and yet even more to come. So when I get up every morning like many others do, I thank God for that day, for the priviledge of life, and yet I think of those less priviledged. It seems strange but the obvious is that some day I may have to get up and realise some one close to me does not share that priviledge anymore. It does not quite signal who will give up that priviledge nor who will want to hand over back to God. Sometimes, it is that very healthy close acquaintance, the one you least imagine now live no more. It does not discriminate, atleast while we have lived to pursue anything that will may take us far from others, this is the one thing we can not widen the gap between humans. Not with our ability or power. So many of us have placed an edge over how much we can accumulate, just too much sometimes so that we are so far away from the very essence of life and the emminent question; how will your life be celebrated when you pass on? Do you really want to be just a paser by creating no impact on issues of the life you once shared? Well, in my opinion, it is better to leave away silently, unnoticed than to be noticed as the one that wanted all in the world yet none could be used to celebrate the life s/he lived.

So we are urged therefore to be ready because we don't know the day. But when the day comes we must be sure the question of celebrating our life is settled. Behold the gazillionaire ambition will barely draw you even further from being remembered than the little gesture of offering crumbs to the begger on the street.It really is funny how in present day we have seek to describe life, it is to most how much we can attract even to the detriment of others. Some of us do take our best meal when there are many hungry around us. We just want to be worshipped in our possesion despite the many that go empty around us. What is amazing is how much this is so part of those that where just not better many years or days ago. So I asked, how fast have you forgotten you were just in the same place like them that you watch go a day long without food, or without home, or just basic hope for the next day.

While I pray not to be seen here as a critic of the current system, but to share light in what man is far more loosing sight from, I may want to quote that , the attitude I seek to denounce is more or less common in the house of God these days. They that worship every day and sings great songs to His creator are basically thesame that walk the street daily watching others peril. They spend more time in His house, seeking breakthroughs in their financial and material life than pray for hope to the hopeless. They have exchange His love to His confirmation to very selfish pursue. Oh, it took me a long time to go around somewhere and listen someone preach of love, peace or even faith, yet I get it always how popular it is to preach of material fulfillment. See how fast they have forgotten that we must seek His kingdom first, or that we will someday leave all that we are doing anything to acquire.

There are though a group that will take anything in the name of God, so just brand death in the name of God and see how many will die! Behold even to you oh friend, who searches for miracle anywhere, that some come with a price. Belief that, the man that give to you smiling comes back asking will anger. They that preach love do so only when they so badly want your love than to love you. Oh, see how life has fast become an episode where you only look for what benefit your desires.

I could just keep this going, but the question I seek to answer here is what better way will your life be celebrated. Just as we celebrate the life of christ today. Well, this is a tough road to travel in the present world. You will be laughed at, rejected and even framed. Sometimes you will give in peace but it will be accepted in war. You will feel genuine love for fellow man, but it will be changed to envy. They will run after you with challenges and tempt your every action, just to divert the motive. In all, expect this from the world of today, not even in the house of worship you go even so often would you expect better than you must in your life accomplish to be celebrated. While I am in no way criticising worshiping together with others, or the very acts above that may be abused, I tell you, that is the reason why your life will be celebrated. You must overcome all that, you must do it when it is right and let that which comes after be fought by God. We must match words with actions. We must not wait to ask the cause before joining to love. We must offer ourself to the service of the world even for no price and hatred and envy. We must rise above that littleness of mans greed and selfishness, we must look beyond the womb of a woman that bore us to the essence of the life around us. Afterall, the reality is just recycling of thesame tricks played to our master. You too can be celebrated, but first think little of yourself than you do for others.

So go on, and start planning the celebration, wait not when you are no more, then there will be no one to plan for it. Make the party the way you want it look. Fight the good fight of faith, love endlessly, give with no strings, offer for the service for others and keep your reward to God.

Reach for the Good of others

Dear Friend
I write this personal letter to you. I hope you have the best from thesame life I assume we both have priviledge of.I am equally fine and I can not stop thanking the great Lord for the trust and confidence He has granted me this year. He has made me incharge of so much that I feel pleasant to acknowledge His infinite wisdom in choosen just what is good for me. I like to trumphet in the highest tone to you that, if you have tried every other thing, try Him. He is a simple and less complicated lord. You do not need to pray so high or long for him to listen. He will not add a premium to what certainly He belief is yours because of the lenght of your prayers or the number of scriptures you can memorise. He will not cast out even the good because you say He should cast them out. Your hardship will not shy away simply because you denounce them when you must confront them with Courage. You remember David, he has been an astonishmet to me this days because of his courage infront of Golliath. But what amaze me more is the foundation of this courage- God. But he just needed to believe in God. You too can be so couragoeus as David, but remember to always question your source.

In this time of silence a lot has happened to me, I have actually 3 years to worry about my residence, I earn scholarship to study what I study now, I have a lovely wife and son and above all, I gain access to God's truth, the one that has led me through this point. I now question what I really did to arrive at this point. But I see that the secret is merely the obvious which we ignore ofcourse. REACHING FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS. I have done so much of that, especially during the period when my hardtimes compound. I have believed in God and His purpose in my life. I knew if He wanted onething from me, it was basically how I assume I was in His place, what I will do for others. Just like in the great commandment, I thought if I could do unto others more than what I will like them do unto me, it will trill my Lord, and yes it did. I ask you a question this day, how often have been reaching to the good of others? Do you remember the poor begger you passed around everyday on your way to work or school but you concluded he has the hands to work,what of that orphanage back home you promised God maybe unconciously but you keep questioning why he/she loose the parents, how are you going to be there for the needy when you question their stories. There are also the blind, the poor and even the sick. I will tell you one thing you may not want to hear; what you are today is better than yesterday and it is not just stages in life, you are very favoured. I know some who are far behind where they were yesterday. You never imagine what your account reads or your pay package reports will be true in your life one day. Well, in my life, I have interpreted any suprise as a mission by the lord to share.

Now take the command phrase, go out now and be there for the good of them in need, of them with plenty though, and see what happens tomorrow. You will live to expect a new prize for God every new day, why? because you have understood the secret of sowing in the vineyard of God. I leave you this day with love and peace. I will be asking God for goodwill and truth to share this words when we meet again.

Peace
Anabi
