EVERYTHING WE DO IS RIGHT AND ALSO WRONG

The difference between right and wrong is determined by the;

• Where the incident happened
• How the incident happened
• When the incident happened and
• The people involved in the action.

Either of the above can be used to judge if an action is right or wrong.

Where the incident happened? There are some things that are supposed to be done in a particular place and not anywhere. The place of action tells if the individual is right or wrong. For example “DRESSING”. There are some dresses that are not supposed to be worn in the public or anywhere. i.e. If a lady is half naked, out in the public, her dressing is condemn as wrong, but when she dresses that same way inside her own house, I think she is right. Most Churches believe that it is wrong for a lady to wear trousers in the Church, since they believed it is against their doctrine, but they can wear it any wear else. That is their belief though.

How the incident happened? Most people judged and condemn things by the way they happened. Let’s take “KILLING” for an example. Someone might be attacked by a criminal. In the process of attacked the person fights back and during the fight, the criminal got killed. I think he would be giving appraisals and that actions would be called SELF DEFENSE. But if, during the fight the criminal killed the man, and he was caught, he would be charged for MURDER. Both the case of Self defense and Murder involves one thing in common which is DEATH! Now, how it happened tells us if the action is right or wrong. There are many other cases like: I can collect something from somebody by threat or by forcing the person. Now this is called EXTORTION. What if I called that same thing from another person with permission? Would you then say it is right or wrong to collect something? It’s up to you to decide.

When the incident happened? The time at which an action takes place, enables us to know if such action is right or wrong.  When a student goes to school late, he would be punished, and when he goes early he escapes punishment. That is Time Planning or Management. When you do something outside a scheduled time without discipline, you are wrong and you are the one to be blame with a guilty conscience. And when you work with time, you will feel fulfilled and satisfied within you.  A worker who is supposed to be on duty, within the hour of 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, leaves his jobs and decides to spend some time with his families and friends on phone, Is he wrong or right? So it is up to you to decide.

THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE ACTION: It is normal for anybody to do what they want. Like “SEX” for example. Like they say, sex is only meant for married couples. But when a married Man or Woman had sex with another person, they say it is adultery, which we know is wrong according to the Bible. Even when two unmarried people are engaged in a sexual activity, they say its fornication which is also wrong according to the Bible. But they are all sex, whether married or unmarried.

THE PAST IS ALREADY PAST

Your past only takes you backward, that is a fact. What happened yesterday, gave birth to today, definitely your today determines how your tomorrow will be. Most people carry the burden of yesterday into their today, now it is becoming part of them, and if care is not taken, they would still take it into their future. The past is not meant to be our partner but our teacher. We learn from it and make the necessary correction in our today, so as to build a better tomorrow.

Probably that is why most Christians find it difficult to cope in the race of Christianity (faith), because they live the life of the Old Testament. Whereas the New Testament has already fulfilled the promises of the Old Testament (They carry the past along). Why live in the past? when there are greater promises in the new one that will make one benefit and be partakers of the future. Focus more on your today, less on your tomorrow, then use your past as a correction. The phrase in the Bible where Christ said “All ye that are heavy laden, come to me and I will give you rest”, here Jesus is referring to those carrying their past (sins) with them, it makes them weaker and makes their journey through life unbearable for them.

The past makes us understand that there is hope for the future, since we were able to conquer and pass over it to remain alive. “When there is life, there is hope” if we are not careful, our past could return to us and remain with us. What we did yesterday or few minutes ago is now history and cannot be changed. Our today is a platform for correction where changes can be made for a better tomorrow.

The Seeds we sow yesterday is what we are reaping today, that seed is gone already. Why not sow a better one today. So you will have a better harvester tomorrow. Let the past remain a past, and let bye gone be bye gone.

WHAT YOU KNOW AFFECTS YOU MORE

Every day in life different things happen, either through our activities or other peoples activities, directly or indirectly, knowing or unknowingly. But things will always happen either good or bad. The mind is the central point of every man, what gets into our subconscious minds, becomes part of us. The only way to influence a man is to get into his mind, change the way he reasons, give him a new mindset, then he his all yours.

Knowing here, doesn’t mean getting full knowledge about something but being aware of something. He gets bother by what we know, than what we don’t know, by what we see than what we do not see, by what we hear than what we do not hear. We get things into our minds, either by sight or by hearing. What we see or hear enters into our subconscious mind, it is then left for us to either make use of it or not, probably that is why the Bible reads “Faith cometh by hearing the word God”. We need to hear and see before we can have faith.

What we have in our mind is what we do and what we do is what affects or influences our actions and reactions.

Here are few examples of how what we know influences us.

Most people buys food from outside rather than prepare it themselves. Take for instance; you where not there when the food was prepared and during preparation, while the cook was not aware, insects and dirt gets into the food, but the cook gave little or no attention to it. When that same food is served to you, I bet you will enjoy it and even demand for more. But if you were to be present when the food was been prepared, you saw all the drama between the insects and the dirt, am sure when you would be served the food, you will feel like vomiting and wouldn’t want to taste it, not to talk of eating. In the first instance, you enjoyed it because you were not aware of the process in making the food. Now you couldn’t eat because you were aware. The difference is in the knowing.

Most people preferred to die instantly than been tortured to go through pain. They feel more pain not because of the torture, but because they know that they are been tortured, that is why when someone is about to be operated on, the doctor give them drugs to make the patient unconscious, this makes their subconscious mind inactive during the period of operation, at this point the patient sees or hear nothing, they even feel nothing. All this happen because they were not aware, if they were to be aware when the operation was going on, they would feel intense pain and may be loss of courage.

In conclusion, what you know is far more important than what you do not know, because it is what you know that determines your next step of action and reactions.

Therefore, what you are aware of plays more roles in your life than what you are not aware of.

Between a mother that delivers in a normal and a mother that delivers through operation, AND a man that dies in a plane crash and a man that dies drowning. WHO FEELS MORE PAIN?

It’s all in the knowing!

Does True Love Exist

As far as I am concerned, it once existed. that was in he days of the bible. but in this modern world, i dont think it does. Jesus Christ was the only person that showed true love, He even went further to die for the sake of humans. He showed true love because he was not born of the flesh. He is a perfect being but we humans are not. we can only give our best. that is why it is hard to trust any person. there is no perfect relationship, there is bound to be misunderstanding. our best is only what we give,then God does the rest. that is why they say your best is never enough. If true love truly exist, then why do we experience breakups, misunderstanding,quarrels and so on.

Can u give your life up for your spouse? humans naturally are selfish,they live more for themselves and less or others. that is why they say save yourself before you save the other person. Lets not deceive ourselves,We love, but not 100%. its just about giving your best. Loving someone is giving hi permission to break your heart. You can love, but watct it...
