How Do You See Life/Yourself


Life is how we live, and learn either in an easy way or hard way.  Life gives way for experience, while experience gives way for learning. Life brings about so many people living in it with different characters, style, attitude, mentality and personality.
Some people in life are like a donkey, they carry other peoples problem and make them theirs while they carry theirs with their teeth and with inconvenience, they live a life to serve others and to solve the problem of others without knowing how to go about theirs.  


Some are like chameleon, they change and adapt to any situation they find themselves, they imitate others character and live a fake life, they don’t care if what they do presently is what God has ordained for them or not, they just covet the lifestyle of another man and want to live and be just like their neighbor. Some are like snake, they find joy in seeing other people cry, they take pleasure in hurting their feelings for no reason, while some are like lions, they love to dominate, to be in control at all times, they are the proud and possessive type. They love it when others serve them and they find no reason why they should serve others. Some are like dove, gentle and tender always meek in all ways, peaceful and loving, but they can desert you at any point in time because they feel they are not answerable to you. Some are like goats, they are stubborn and never ready to listen nor learn in which they eventually learn in the hard way, their stubbornness and hard headed behaviour makes them greedy and disloyal, they never understand when God has a better plan for them and wants them to wait or exercise patient.

Different kind of people, life has in its bosom, yet living in this world and this present generation still make life comfortable for all that takes delight in peace and knows his/her purpose in life.
I have come to realize that we do not really place the right value for our life, the dangerous thing we do most in life is wasting time doing the wrong things at the right time and sometimes doing the right thing at the wrong time, once you have lost time, it’s gone forever, once you live, you can never relieve. It will be extremely terrible to be busy doing the wrong thing your entire life.

It is so sad how we all become serious and committed to the wrong things in life. We were all created for a purpose in life, that purpose is what is right for us. If you continually seek the face of God, you will know your God ordained reason and purpose for your life. One of the reasons Jesus knew his purpose was that he was continually seeking God and in constant communication with him. It is dangerous to live without God and if you do live without God, you will never know your reason for existence and if you don’t know why you were born, you could live a completely wrong life.
In this life there are many people who are pursuing relationships, career and goals in life that are not best for them; they go about life pursuing vanity. The only way to live a fulfilled life is to know why you were born.

The main reason why Jesus cursed the fig tree wasn’t because he felt like it, it was because, it wasn’t productive, it wasn’t fulfilling its God given purpose, it was not fruitful. Jesus was hungry at that time and looked up and there it was without any fruit on it. What made him angry was simple; the fig tree purpose was to produce fruit but it wasn’t, it wasn’t fulfilling its purpose. Many of you are like that fig tree, you have stopped fulfilling your purpose and you don’t even realize it. You have stopped doing what God has ordained for you to do. Instead you are wasting your time doing the wrong thing because you are not in line with your creator (God). Note that good deeds are not a substitute for rightness. Knowing and fulfilling your purpose is the only way to do what is right.
