Avoid Desperation

Desperation is becoming reckless or dangerous as a result of unguarded desire to acquire something. Acting as hopeless and using every sense of urgency.

This attitude has a positive and negative aspect. There is nothing bad with working hard to achieve or acquire something, but the rule of the game must be observed. Desperation is seeking for a short cut to success or result. It then ends in compromise.

Symptoms of Desperation are: Always doing things with wrong motives, Always unhappy. Desperate people are never happy because they are preoccupied with intentions to fight, maneuver, deceive and use every means even foul for their desires.

Always Impatient. Desperate people are not ready to wait to be recognized rather they seek for recognition at all cost. They don't observe protocols. They involve in unhealthy or imbalanced competitions.

Pride contributes a lot to the attitude of desperation coupled with laziness and faithlessness. When a person is possessed with these three attitudes, desperation must set in and manifest in the life of the person. This attitude leads to compromise. This is why a desperate person can assassinate an opponent. Others use scandals to undue an opponent. Or they may employ any ungodly or unethical means to fight for their desires. Please we must be conscious of the fact that there is nothing worth fighting for except your life. The attitude of desperation leads to compromise in many ways. People exchange things of no equal value when they are desperate. As in the case of Esau please someone should help me check the value of a plate of food compared to one's birthright. It's unimaginable that somebody in his right sense will swear an oath to transfer his birthright in exchange for one meal. Not even a whole lifetime meal, but just one meal. Desperation for wealth and office can lead into soiling of one's hands. Remember that certain things when lost are irrecoverable. Eternal life and the kingdom of God are irrecoverable when lost. Control yourself.

Note: Desperation can lead to compromise.

The bible say: "For I know the thoughts I think towards you, saith the lord, the thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11)
