WHY GIVING IS A BLESSING

-


Sometime ago, I had this mentor who always blesses me with so much that his act of giving made me conclude he is an angel sent by God to me.

There years ago something happened, he was working on a project and he got stucked with money because it was a holiday where he was so he couldn't mansfer money to the person working on his project that required urgent attention.

So, one of those days, I just called to check on him and somehow he managed to relate his current ordeal to me and how he can't wait for another two days before bringing out funds and how all he reached out to concerning the challenge couldn't help.

Immediately, I stepped out to help him, I asked him to send me the account number of the person working on his project, he smiled and asked me how I was going to get such money, I told him that I don't have the complete amount he was looking for but I have 70% of that money, who I saved over a period of time, which he actually blessed me with.

He was highy amazed and impressed, he sent the account details to me and I sent the money to the man immediately, he waa so happy that he called to thank me for the gesture.

Two days after, I received that amount thrice of what I gave him and he even promised me some goodies when he comes back home.

Often times, we forget that we all need help, no matter how influenced, rich or wealthy we could be, certainly, it is what we sow that we reap.

You can't be hordey with giving and expect miracles to come your way.

It is those who give, that receive in abundance to what they gave, they can never lack because they connect to the maker who gives wholesomely without withholding anything

We hear things like "givers never lack" and "the measure you give the measure you would receive" and "blessed is the hand that giveth than the hand that taketh"

Giving is like storing your treasure in a safe place where no one can steal from, so when you need something you go there and get it in abundance.

Giving entails a lot of sacrifice, its draining sometimes because it entails you giving up your own needs and wants for the good of others.

You can't reap where you did not sow, you can't enjoy from where you did not invest and you can't get from where you did not give.

Again, giving is like planting a seed, you weed, water and nurture and some day soon, you would enjoy it grow, eat the fruits and even sell the produce.

You are what you do, be positive with it.

DON'T MERRY AT PEOPLE'S PAIN

 I saw a post where someone made a comment and said "try and sit at the other side and see how painful it is when you talk down on people. It is so sad and never a welcoming situation when you feel you are always better of, you don't have an iota of what people go through and you just imagine or assume somethings can never happen to you.  Sincerely, no one ever wishes for anything wrong or bad to happen to them but again, life always happens, a minute we merry the next second we are in pains, we find answers to our pligths and again we just wonder and weary why and how it all happened. Life, isn't for us to determine or control rather we can only impact on our best possible ways and give it our all and even most times it is never enough, we cannot steer the affairs of life.  Don't dare laugh or merry at any one's pains  because you feel you are better of, don't mock them because you are not in their positions, don't talk down on them, don't ignore them

If you understand that life comes in phases, you wont be bothered by what happens around you so keenly So many things are enough to make you feel less a person, when you allow them take hold of you. There are catalyst who propels you to go out of your way to see that things are done or better still satisfy people and contents, yet we also have pressures who forces you to do things out of your will power to satisfy personal self or a greedy community. Be intensional about everything you do, don't allow sentiments of any sort becloud your thoughts. Be accountable for your actions, take responsibilities for them and make sure you avoid every form of explanation to anyone, they are absolutely distractions. Never apologise for your feelings because you were intensional about it, rather make feasible ammends in the situation where you hurt any one. Always remember that life comes with various choices, many will intimidate us, yet a few will give us opportunities to be better of, yet its

Just almost when i got to the food stuff sellers shop, she also arrived, carrying Agege bread on her head, looking so hagged and hungry. How much is this rice, it looks so fine, the food seller replied her, its 400 per derica, while I was waiting to be attended to, she continued give me one derica, I don't eat rice with stones, I won't be able to eat it, she told the food seller, she buttressed again,  I can't eat rubbish because I don't have money, I left with my items while I pondered on the scene that just played out, the bread seller looks so unkept, probably from the hawking and again very hungry, even though she might not be able to afford the perfect life, but she deserves to eat the best, even if thats not what life has given to her. Many a time, we feel we are better than others because we are in a good position, we feel they don't deserve to get the best things in life, we feel they can't pass the road we have crossed, we feel they don't and can
