STANDING BEFORE KINGS

-
A king is a person that is thought to be the best or most important of a particular type; an important personality.
Standing before kings is not just finding you in the presence or in front of an important person. To me standing kings is being useful to kings; being relevant to the level at which kings cannot do without you.
            A king can be likened to a ruler, a minister, a commissioner, Governor, presidents, Honourable and very notable people.
To stand before kings, there are criteria; there are things to be considered. The Holy Bible says in the book of Proverbs that have you seen a man skilled in his work, he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before ordinary men. A skilled man is a person that has enough ability, experience and knowledge to be able to do something well. Before a person can be skilled, he/she must be hardworking and diligent in his/her work. Truthfulness, sincerity, obedience and humility are characteristics that must be combined with hardwork to be skilled.
            A lazy person cannot stand before Kings because there will be nothing to show for his/her stand.
Proverb says a man’s gift makes room for him before great men. What are the gifts of a man? A man’s gift is not bread, butter, groundnut or material things, a man’s gift is actually a man’s virtue (behaviour or attitude that show high moral standards; an attractive or useful quality; a particular good quality or habit).
            A man’s talent also makes room for him before great men, but if the talents are not well utilized, if the talents are not developed, the man will end up standing before ordinary men.
            Favour is standing before great men, standing before great men gives you opportunity to dine with kings, it enlarges you and increases your capacity for greatness and it also gives you an opportunity to become a king.

            This article is purposely written to remind us that in life, we should learn to develop ourselves and create avenue for greatness. In this new season, my prayer is that the works of your hands brings you before great men. I also pray that the works of my hands brings me before great men. Cheers

THE BROKEN CALABASH

I want to take a journey back into the ancient times, the times of our fore fathers. When there was no technology or any form of advancement in the world, when things were done according to our culture and tradition.              My mum explained to me how marriage rites were carried out. How a woman is meant to keep herself and remain a virgin before marriage. She also explained to me how the groom’s family pays a woman’s dowry/bride price and takes items to the bride’s parent. Am sure some of you know this history.              After the marriage ceremony, the man always return back to his people and the brides people to tell them if his wife is a virgin or not. if the wife is a virgin, after the first intercourse on the wedding night, he uses a white piece of cloth to clean the blood that comes from the woman’s sexual organ. He then takes the piece of cloth to his family and the bride’s parent telling them he ...

A FULL HOUSEWIFE, A HELPMEET OR BOTH?

Feminist have come up with theories expressing the need for gender equality between a man and a woman. Although most of these theories have been countered several times, we can’t still rule out the fact that the position of a woman in the family, society and nation is a great one. Permit me to say women are the salt of the world. They make life sweeter when they are added in the right proportion and when treated otherwise you can imagine what the result will be. Without their presence everything becomes sour. The position of a woman in a home cannot be overemphasized, they run and manage the affairs of the home which include taking care of the husband, children, cooking meals, attending to guests and extended family members, buying items needed for everyday life and the list is endless. Although some husbands try as much as they can to help out in doing some of these things while some totally feel it’s the duty of a wife and they never help out. The attitudes of some of thes...

THE HUMAN NATURE

I was in church, then suddenly after a short message was preached, a pastor gave me a scripture   (Galatians 5:19) and immediately after I received it, rapture took place and I woke up immediately. I wasn’t very shocked because it wasn’t the first time I would dream about rapture but I asked what about this scripture.         This scripture inspired me to write this: Galatians 5:19(GNT)”what human nature does is quite plain, it shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions”. Human nature: the ways of behaving, thinking and feeling  that are shared by most people and are considered to be normal. After much thinking and pondering about this scripture and the definition of the Human nature, I realize that majority of the things considered as normal by people are actually very abnormal. This scripture explains that what human nature does is quite plain, very obvious for all to see, it manifest or show itself in immoral, filthy and indecent acti...
