Master of the Wind
Let me begin by saying that you once again for your heart cheers to me on my birthday, yesterday. You all are amazing people and do appreciate you all.
As part of my celebration this year, I was at the Bible study in my local church assemble yesterday where we studied the Bible and we looked at sharing testimonies. That is, telling the brethren I'm appreciation to God on what he has done for you.
A brother in church who had been suffering different levels of devastation suddenly get an escape and breakthrough that announced him to all and sundry. He forgot all his troubles the moment he got the intervention.
In his remark or testimonial, I found out that he had been through a lot.
Bro Alphonsus was a polygamous home. Education in the family was undertaken by everyone's mother. Their father was less concerned about their welfare, let alone education.
He said further that the only responsibility of his father was to impregnate a woman and bring her home.
When the fifth wife came home, it was another battle entirely. We had to strife for space where we could lay our heads.
Despite all that. This brother still had the intention that life won't continue like this. At a very tender age, he left his father's house. His mother could not afford to foot his school fees. And he had three other siblings directly from his mother.
Not to worsen the headache of his mother, he decided to give them space by travelling to anywhere to look for a greener pasture.
When he got to the urban area, he engaged in all sort of work and gathered some money to see himself through school. He kept working until he was able to graduate from the university.
After graduation, I thought life was going to be all pleasant. I was wrong. There were no jobs. The available ones needed applicants with years of experience.
The storms of life got the better of me. Though, I got understand of the fact that to adequately refined gold, it must go through fire.
Sincerely, Alphonsus did not consider anyone as a factor to his many problems. He rather focused on the goal.
How Can A Man Channel His Life
Aside from been focused, one can channel his or her life by cutting away what is not necessary.
What is not necessary in life could be a huge problem if we allow them with our space.
Hence, only what is needed should be made to stay withing our reach. There may be some difficulties trying to figure out what is necessary. Apart from drawing a scale of preference, where you list your needs according to priority, man can become focused in life when he directs his heart troubles to the one who owns it all.
Riding The Storms Of Life
Like the eagle, we need not to run away from the storms of life.if it's self can toss you here or there. What is expected to be done when such occurs is to face it?
The eagle does not run away from storms. It faces the storm headlong.
Many a time, the eagle voluntarily refuses to fight back when a smaller bird fight him. He knows the bird may only be there to cause a distraction.
As such, we should look forward than our present location.
Your location is your allocation.
If you must live above your present location, you should look beyond it. The people in your present location could.be acting like the little raven that is best on distracting the eagle.
Be An Eagle
Over time, the eagle have been known as the master of the wind. As said elsewhere, it doesn't run away from the wind. Therefore, face your challenges. You can only be a conqueror when you defeat the problem you encounter.
On the other hand, the eagle is a high flyer. It flies to the region where no other bird can get to. At some level, where there is not much oxygen, where no other high flying bird can survive, the Eagle keeps going. That's a bird that is determined to reach it goal. You can pursue a dream to that level too.
Having said all these, there is one particular attribute of the eagle you may have to keep in your left hand. And that is the fact that the eagle is keeps record of every other thing within it's domain.
He eagle knows the other animals living with the perimeter of its nest. The best is usually built high in the mountain. Hence, from the sphere, it could see what goes around that domain. You should know what is trending in your domain too and build on it to make a headway too.
Thanks for reading this blog. Hope to see you around again.
Thank God he was relieved. I so much distaste polygamous homes for a lot of reasons, one of which is lack of peace. His father kept bringing wives home with no space for them to lay their heads. Thank God he was able to face his challenges squarely. It's not easy to graduate for the university while fending for yourself. God indeed relieved him of alot.
