WHEN YOU MISS THE POINT AND CATCH EMOTIONS,THE HEART WHISPERS EVIL.
🤔🤔

A man tied his horse to a post. Later, a devil came quietly, loosened the rope, and set the horse free.
The horse wandered into a farmer’s field and began trampling his crops.
Furious, the farmer grabbed his rifle and shot the horse.
When the horse’s owner saw what had happened, he became enraged and shot the farmer.
The farmer’s wife, filled with sorrow and fury, picked up an axe and killed the horse's owner.
Then the owner’s son, blinded by grief, killed the farmer’s wife.
The neighbors, horrified by the rising chaos, turned on the young man and burned his house to the ground.
When people asked the Devil why he had done this, he replied calmly,
“I did nothing. I only set the horse free.”

LESSONS FROM THE STORY: HOW THE ENEMY USES SMALL TRIGGERS TO UNLEASH GREAT DISASTERS

1. THE DEVIL DOESN’T NEED TO DESTROY YOU — JUST DISTRACT YOU

-The enemy rarely comes with a full-blown attack.
-Often, he simply shifts one small thing, loosens one rope, plants one thought, whispers one lie, or introduces one offense.
-From there, human reactions create the rest of the destruction.
-Satan works through subtlety, not spectacle.
-One small unchecked disturbance can open the door to a chain reaction of violence, bitterness, regret, and loss.
-Never underestimate tiny spiritual cracks.
A small leak can sink a great ship.

2. UNCHECKED EMOTIONS MAKE US DO THE DEVIL’S WORK FOR HIM

The real tragedy in the story wasn’t the Devil’s act — it was the emotional explosion that followed.

-Anger became murder.
-Pain became revenge.
-Hurt became hatred.
-Shock became destruction.

This is what the enemy relies on:
-Not your weakness, but your impulsive reaction.
-If you cannot master your emotions, your emotions will master you.

3. HUMAN HEARTS CAN TURN DARK WHEN LEFT UNGUARDED

-The Devil didn’t create the anger, revenge, hatred, or violence —they were already inside the people, hidden beneath the surface.
-Crisis only revealed what was already present.

Many people blame the Devil for everything, forgetting that:

-He just pushes,
-But we choose.

-True safety comes not from blaming the Devil, but from purifying the heart.
-Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

4. MOST WARS START WITH SMALL MISUNDERSTANDINGS

Entire communities burned because of one small, avoidable moment.
Likewise, in real life:

-Families break because of one harsh word.
-Friendships end because of one misunderstanding.
-Churches divide because of one rumor.
-Marriages collapse because of one careless decision.
-It is rarely the first act that destroys —
it is the chain reaction of unwise responses.
-Wise people break the chain.
-Foolish people continue it.

5. PAUSE BEFORE YOU SPEAK, THINK BEFORE YOU REACT

This story is a call to emotional discipline.

-Before you reply — breathe.
-Before you act — reflect.
-Before you retaliate — pray.

Not every fire must be answered with fire.
Sometimes silence is victory.
Sometimes walking away is wisdom.
Sometimes forgiveness is salvation.

6. SELF-CONTROL IS THE GREATEST FORM OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE

The Devil doesn’t fear your shouting —
he fears your self-control, because self-control breaks his chain reactions.

He fears your ability to:

-Restrain your anger
-Govern your emotions
-Bless instead of curse
-Forgive instead of avenge
-Walk away instead of retaliate

-Self-control is not weakness —
it is spiritual strength at its highest level.
-The Devil rarely destroys people directly.
-He simply sets something loose…
-And waits for human hearts to do the rest.
-Your real battlefield is not outside —
it is within your reactions.
-Master your response, and you defeat the enemy’s strategy.

Character is a walking Mirror.

(1) If you usually put more sugar in your tea when in a hotel than you do at home, You're likely to be corrupt!

(2) If you use more tissue in a public washroom than you do at home, you are a potential thief if given opportunity.

(3) If you serve yourself more food than you can finish, not minding whether it will go round, just because someone else is footing the bill, you're greedy. And you will steal if opportunity presents itself.

(4) If you usually jump queues, you have the potential for abusing office if given a powerful position.

(5) If you are more concerned about knowing someone's surname rather than first name, you're likely to be a tribal bigot. It’s even worse when someone tells you their name & then you ask, "which tribe is that?" It means you are tribalistic.

(6) If you usually overtake while in traffic jam or have no regard for traffic lights, then you would easily embezzle public funds if you're given a position at a public office since you hate regulation .

(7) If you channel waste or dirty water from your compound to a neighbour's compound rather than managing it, you're ill-mannered. You don't love your neighbour as yourself.

(8) If you look at this post and wonder whether it was really necessary to talk about these issues; then you are very dishonest and you would easily cover up ills in the society for your own benefit.

THE SNAKEBITE

A Story With A Great Lesson

A farmer brought his 4-year-old son to the farm and let him rest while he worked. While tilling the soil, the farmer heard his son scream loudly. He rushed over and found he’d been bitten by a snake. He witnessed the snake slithering away quickly.

Overcome with anger, he yelled at the top of his voice, "No, my son, No! That snake won't escape me! I'll make it pay! I'll chop it into pieces and throw it in the fire! The fire will burn it completely! I'll make it suffer for this!"

The farmer quickly took up a cutlass and went in pursuit of the snake. As he ran after the snake, it slipped into a heap of logs and concealed itself. To catch the snake, he began lifting the logs one by one.

As he reached for the final log, the snake suddenly leapt out and crawled into a hole. Determined to catch the snake, he began digging the hole with his cutlass. He kept digging tirelessly for nearly an hour, getting closer and closer to the snake. At last, he caught the snake and ended its life at once.

After taking his revenge, the farmer felt fulfilled and pleased as he confidently walked back to his son. However, upon his return, he was overwhelmed with shock to find his son had passed away. Gripped by terror, he raced to a healer with his lifeless son in his arms. He told her everything and begged her to save his son.
"Please, do whatever it takes to revive my son!"

Upon examining the boy, the healer shook her head hopelessly and said,
"If you had come to me the moment your son was bitten by the snake, I could have saved his life. But you were so consumed by vengeance that you couldn’t see the danger… and your son paid the price. I'm sorry, but some lessons come at a terrible cost!" ***

The quest for vengeance often consumes us, clouding our judgment and poisoning our hearts. When we hold onto anger and seek revenge, we trap ourselves in a cycle of pain and destruction that can harm not only others but also ourselves. True strength lies in the ability to forgive and let go, freeing ourselves from the burden of resentment. By choosing forgiveness, we open the door to healing, peace, and a brighter future — one where we are no longer controlled by past hurts, but empowered to live with compassion and understand

Vengeance is sweet when served from above.

Not all enemies use weapons; some will use kindness and friendship to gain access to destroy you.

👆🏽🤔 Be careful.

People get disappointed when God blesses someone they looked down at.
They will still be blessed no matter how less you think of them.

Imagine if God can remove nature and it's associates and then leave the earth an empty space under man's control.
Would survival be possible?
