A Note to Abusers.

One of the most important things to note especially in these days that we live is how healthy your emotional life is. Today at work i had a case refered to me on domestic violence against a pregnant woman by her spouse. As I checked the woman and baby i began to wonder in my heart what would be so bad that a man would beat up his heavily pregnant wife.  In recent times I've seen lots of cases of abuse at an alarming and scary rate. It's like an outbreak that we must deal with. Truth be when a person's emotional life is not in order, that person may become a disaster to himself and all around him. A lot has been said about how victims should safe guard themselves against such people so I won't dwell much on that today. Let me say something to abusers though. We all know that you do what you do because deep inside you're a broken vessel. Broken by whatever circumstance it is that brought you where you are. People who hurt end up hurting others we ar...

Finish Your Fight.

While perusing through the book of Esther i stumbled on something quite interesting I'd love to share here.  Esther was of royal blood. She was a grand daughter of King Saul. No wonder she ended up marrying a King.😁 Hamman was a grandson of King Agag. Now Agag was one of the kings God told King Saul to wipe out. Saul spared that King and some of his household. Eventually when he brought him back God was displeased with his disobedience and had Samuel get another king. Samuel was the one who eventually killed Agag. Then many centuries later. Haman son of Agag meets Mordecai son of Saul and the old battle is revived.  Hamman now wants Mordecai and all the Jews wiped out. Divine intervention is what eventually saves them. Lessons. - As a parent what you do or do not do will travel down your generation unborn. Both Esther and Hamman were not born when it started but because Saul didn't deal with the issue headlong, his children ended up having to fight that bat...

Have a grip on your emotions.

You know we get to pick several life lessons from everyday activities and this one I'm about to share happened to be one of such.  I happened to be in a public transport one day  goingto work and just a few minutes after we took off, one of the passengers suddenly started shouting that there was pepper eyes and angrily asked that anyone eating anything should stop because she believed that was the cause of the eye pain.  I suggested that maybe it was smoke from the silencer of the car, but she insisted that it was pepper.  I decided to do a quick survey of those in the car to see if really anyone was eating any thing but didn't really see anyone at least from my own observation.  Everyone simply ignored her and at the end she had to become quiet. I began on think on that outburst she did. Yes she had something suddenly enter her eye and was causing some discomfort but did that warrant such behavior? I believe it is important that as people we should ...
