An eagle saw its brother fall and did not judge him, did not condemn him, did not point him out, and did not abandon him. It took him and helped him get up.

If most of us had the eagle's attitude when seeing our brother fall, everything would be much easier.

We could imitate what animals teach us; let’s do like the eagle: if you see your fallen brother, do not judge or condemn him. Help him get up.
One day, they will do the same for you too. ✨

The Story of David and Goliath

In the valley of Elah, the armies of Israel and Philistia faced each other, ready for battle. The Philistine army was led by a giant of a man named Goliath, who stood over nine feet tall and wore armor that weighed over 125 pounds. For 40 days, Goliath taunted the Israelites, challenging them to send a warrior to fight him one-on-one.

The Israelites were terrified, and none of them dared to accept the challenge. But among them was a young shepherd boy named David, who was not a warrior but a humble servant of God. David's father, Jesse, had sent him to deliver food to his brothers, who were part of the Israelite army.

When David arrived, he heard Goliath's taunts and saw the fear in the eyes of the Israelite soldiers. He asked, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?" (1 Samuel 17:26)

The Israelites told David that the king, Saul, had promised to give great wealth and his daughter's hand in marriage to anyone who could defeat Goliath. But they also warned David that Goliath was a formidable warrior and that he, a mere shepherd boy, was no match for him.

David, however, was not intimidated. He replied, "The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." (1 Samuel 17:37)

Saul, the king, heard about David's bold claim and sent for him. When David arrived, Saul was surprised by his youth and inexperience. But David assured Saul that he had killed bears and lions while protecting his father's sheep, and that the Lord would be with him in the battle against Goliath.

Saul, though skeptical, decided to let David face Goliath. He offered David his armor, but David declined, saying, "I am not used to it." Instead, David took his shepherd's staff, picked five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in his pouch.

As David approached Goliath, the giant mocked him, saying, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field." (1 Samuel 17:44) But David replied, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied." (1 Samuel 17:45-47)

David then took out a stone and slung it at Goliath, striking him on the forehead. The stone sank into Goliath's forehead, and he fell face down on the ground. The Philistine army fled in terror, and the Israelites pursued them, winning a great victory.

David's victory over Goliath proved that God chooses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and the weak things of the world to confound the mighty. David, a humble shepherd boy, was not a warrior, but he trusted in God and was victorious over the mighty Goliath.

As the apostle Paul wrote, "God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." (1 Corinthians 1:27-29)

Have you been despised, ridiculed or mocked in this world, not to worry, there's good news for you: He will bring Greatness out of you. God will do something in your life, family, business and health that will cause those that laugh at you to laugh with you in no time in Jesus Mighty name Amen! 🙏

Indeed Patience is Golden, if you doubt then come with me as we read through this short but inspiring story:

The Tale of the Bamboo Tree

A farmer planted a bamboo tree in his yard and watered it every day. He waited for it to grow, but nothing happened. He continued to water it every day for five years, but still, nothing happened.

One day, in the sixth year, the farmer woke up to find a tiny sprout emerging from the ground. He was overjoyed! Within six weeks, the bamboo tree grew to an astonishing 90 feet tall.

The farmer was amazed and asked the tree, "Why did it take you five years to grow, and then suddenly, you grew 90 feet in just six weeks?"

The tree replied, "I wasn't just growing in those six weeks. I was growing roots, deep and strong, for five years. If I hadn't taken the time to develop those roots, I wouldn't have been able to support my rapid growth."

The farmer realized that the bamboo tree's patience and slow growth had allowed it to develop a strong foundation, which ultimately led to its remarkable success.

This story illustrates that patience is indeed golden. It allows us to develop strong foundations, build resilience, and ultimately achieve great things.

Strive for Patience!

"Patience is Golden":

In life's journey, we often strive,
To rush and hurry, to stay alive.
But in the hustle, we forget to see,
The beauty of waiting, patiently.

For in the stillness, we find our strength,
And in the quiet, our hearts take length.
So let us slow down, and take a breath,
Patience is Golden.

The story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, chapters 37-50 exemplifies PATIENCE!

Joseph, the youngest son of Jacob, was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. Despite being falsely accused and imprisoned, Joseph remained patient and trusted in God's plan.

After 13 years of slavery and imprisonment, Joseph's patience was rewarded when he was released from prison and became the second-in-command in Egypt, helping the country prepare for a severe famine.

Joseph's patience and faithfulness ultimately led to his reunion with his family, and he was able to provide for them during the famine.

This story demonstrates that patience is indeed golden, as it allows us to trust in God's timing and plan, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.

As we begin the year, may God grant us the grace to embrace the wisdom in patience 🙏

The Weight of Resentment

Maria had been hurt by her best friend, Sophia, five years ago. Sophia had borrowed a large sum of money from Maria, promising to pay it back, but she never did. To make matters worse, Sophia stopped responding to Maria's calls and messages, essentially cutting her off.

Maria was consumed by anger, resentment, and a deep sense of betrayal. She couldn't understand why Sophia would do something so hurtful. As time passed, Maria found it difficult to trust others, and her relationships began to suffer.

One day, Maria received an invitation to their high school reunion. Sophia would be attending, and Maria was torn. A part of her wanted to confront Sophia, to demand an explanation and an apology. Another part of her wanted to avoid Sophia altogether.

A Turning Point
As Maria struggled with her emotions, she stumbled upon a quote: "Forgiveness is not for the other person; it's for you." She began to realize that holding onto resentment was not hurting Sophia, but it was consuming Maria.

Maria decided to attend the reunion, but instead of confronting Sophia, she chose to forgive her. She wrote Sophia a letter, expressing her feelings and her decision to forgive. Maria didn't expect a response, but she felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

A New Beginning
At the reunion, Maria and Sophia met briefly. Sophia apologized sincerely, and Maria accepted her apology. They didn't rekindle their old friendship, but Maria felt a sense of closure.

From that day on, Maria made a conscious effort to let go of resentment and to forgive those who had wronged her. She realized that forgiveness didn't mean forgetting or condoning hurtful behavior, but it meant releasing the negative emotions associated with it.

Maria's newfound ability to forgive improved her relationships and her overall well-being. She learned that forgiveness is a process, and it may take time, but it's essential for healing and moving forward.

NEVER EVER FORGET THESE LESSONS OF LIFE

*1. Always remember that you can grow without destroying others.*

*2. Always remember that your dreams can be fulfilled without sabotaging others.*

*3. Always remember that nobody must go down for you to rise.*

*4. Always remember that nobody must be shamed or embarrassed for your smile to be sustained.*

*5. Always remember that while others are rising, you can also rise.*

*6. Always remember that finding satisfaction in the pain of others will never bring you true happiness.*

*7. Always remember that what you wish others is a prayer for yourself.*

*8. Become the good fire that genuinely lights up others, not one that ruins the joy, goodwill, and expectation of others.*

*9. Never take delight in causing pain or sponsoring the tears of another. What you sow will come back to you in multiplied folds*

*10. Never ever use your position in authority to punish others for fear that your position would be taken from you. You never know tomorrow. Life is uncertain.* *Also never use the position you occupy today to frustrate others, for you never can tell what the future holds tomorrow.*

*This is the path to true peace, lasting influence and meaningful living!*

Stay blessed and take care for those you meet on your way up are the same people you will surely meet on your way down.

I PITIED MY OLD classmate.

I met an old class mate, we had not seen each other for about 30 years.

When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, he was looking simple. He wore simple clothes. I felt touched.

He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it.

We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.

I told him I would drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him. He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.

I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, to show off my success and affluence to him; while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.

He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact, I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real Estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans. He looked at me and smiled.

He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had.“Fingers are not all equal" I thought to myself. I was lucky. I worked in a good place.

Two weeks later, my wife and I went to see him in a remote area. Initially, my wife was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house.

I was able to convince her that we were close friends in College.

We saw the Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.

It was a simple but lovely home. A 4-bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.

Lunch was well served.
His wife called him Papa Onos.

During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the Estate.

I did not know when I called him sir. I was in awe of him too.

I had learnt a lesson in humility, A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.

Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life.

Indeed Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence.

Adjust your perception towards others this year.

Read, learn and take a good step of change.

Stop rating people based on their physical appearance or level of education.

Concentrate more on how to better your life, than on how to impress people.
Have a blessed year 🙏🎉🎈♥️
