BEING AT PEACE WITH ALL MEN





Romans 12;18;
‘If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peacefully with all men.


That is the holy scripture right there.
...........................................................................................................................................


I remember my younger years as the sole child in my house hold, my being all alone most times somehow heightened my level of  hostility. And as my friends would always say, 

 ‘I had zero percent chill’. 


But as I became older, I have learnt a lot about tolerating people going forward;

Not every human being would have the same ideologies as mine, I often consoled.

This is saying that people would always have contrasting characters and be differently opinionated. But then our diversities as over seven billion world inhabitants lies in our varying characters as a people; 

For instance, some people are snitches, a traitor, same time envious and boastful, while others would be considerate in nature, meekly, enduring and pleasant. And there are those that would be overly stubborn, and in addition be lazy or surprisingly industrious. 

 This is outlining what we all could be in our diversities. Whatever the category you or the next person belong, learn to 'understand' people and 'gauge' how you relate with them, putting their 'different' trait to yours into deep consideration. This is to achieve the biblical verse that require us to;

  Live in peace with all men.

And in our various organizations, homes and neighborhood or in some other places, our endurance should be heightened to accommodate people, this is as long as it remains non-toxic.

But if it is actually toxic, there’s always a room for the real life un-follow button as it is on social media. Be quick to boycott relation that doesn’t align with yours in a very peaceful way, devoid of chaos and constantly getting angry.

               Meanwhile,1 thesa 5;13- “And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake,  and be at peace amongst yourselves.

        So as we journey into the new week, live and let live.

             Let go of toxic relations rather peacefully. 

                Easy does it with getting angry; the health implication of uncontrolled anger includes anxiety, high blood pressure and headache. It could even lead to physical fight and abuse, assault, heart attack, stroke and even self harm.

·         Heb 12;14- "make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy. Without holiness no one will see God."

Politics today; About Theresa May’s resignation

Image
That the Prime Minister of Britain, Theresa May has resigned is no longer a thing on the internet. On the 24 th of May, 2019 however, she handed over as a Conservative Party Leader and on the 7 th of June, a successor would be chosen. Meanwhile, being the second female Prime Minister after Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May’s firmness especially has either endeared her to some, or made her a subject of ridicule to others. Whichever way, I personally admired her leadership style as against what is applicable in an African setting; this is despite being faulted over Brexit failure. In as much as I always take caution when judging shoes that I am not in, the UK being a part of the UE is not a today happenstance. So Brexit might not be as instantaneous as craved, and that the challenges encountered in trying to dissociate might be one that is posing too difficult. NB; for those who might not understand the last paragraph, the English people are angry, majority ...

EMBRACING LOCALLY MADE PRODUCTS? A STEP TOWARDS ERADICATING UNEMPLOYMENT

Image
The fact that Nigerian’s unemployment rate is on the high side no longer raises too many brows in the News. It has steadily been on the rise and recently stands at 23.1% with over 20 Million Nigerians unemployed. Without dwelling much on criticizing the Government, since they are the actual ‘persons’ directly responsible for creating adequate jobs for her youth, more emphasis shall be on the effects and contributions of the unconscious actions of the populace to the menace. To start with, it is funny how youths bemoan their state of being unemployed when it is widely believed that,  heaven helps those who helps themselves. Why would anyone rather be in prayer sessions every Monday instead of going job hunting, or to gear up his/her employable skills? Some others spend their entire days surfing the Net for unproductive contents, or await Celebrity give-away on Instagram . Unemployment is actually a major ill affecting the Country and her Economy, and it came ...

Dad and the thought of Karma

Image
  I didn’t think my dad a great personality, until I became an adult and I began to understand some of his actions and how distinctive of a trait that they were. One of such is his hatred for being caught up in a  karmic situation. Either we suffer for personal misdeeds, or as a result of the karma from a generational wrong doing, he always wants to live right. He is undesirous of causing anyone pain or tears, most especially when he is in a position of authority and/or power over them. Dad would rather be at loggerheads with superiors over victimization especially, and honestly, I found me in same shoes, even though unconsciously. In addition, my dad constantly reiterates John 16;33  “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me, ye have peace. In the world, ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” “Let my tribulations be my test of faith from God”  goes his perpetual addition to the bible verse above  “the one that comes w...
