ONE IN A MILLION

ONE IN A MILLION Have you ever walked into a room and sitting down; you realize you are odd compared to the rest?🎑 And that maybe in that room, you were the only person of your race and color...okay let's say you find yourself having good clothes and everyone is torn down? How does that feel?πŸͺΈ Or have you seen the scene of a black feathered hen among thousands of white hens? How does that feel? πŸ¦—Have you also walked into a jungle ; and because you are hungry, you look for a fruit tree and finding one, it is the only fruit-beauty among seemingly dry shrubs. Well, that feels good...it feels welcoming.🎑 It is easy to spot a tree that has fruits among dry and fruitless trees. It is easy to spot a white hen among a million black hens. Christ in the Bible said that the poor will not lack in the community. πŸͺΈIt is obvious that those that have are fewer than the have nots. Whenever a global census is done, a a good percentage is said not to have been counted. They will say

CELESTIAL GUARDIANS

CELESTIAL GUARDIANS Jesus went as usual to the mount of olives to pray.πŸ¦‹ He had taken His friends with him. Of course they were so exhausted that they simply slept off instead of praying alongside Him.πŸ¦‹ He went a little further and had His prayers. It was time for pain. He prayed so earnestly. He needed this cup to be taken away from Him.πŸ¦‹ He had prayed for the sick and they got well, He rose the dead to life through prayer; but this time , the cup was to be his. He had to drink the bitter soda.πŸ¦‹ In such anguish and trouble, an angel came down to strengthen Him. He made Him know that this is just a little time.πŸ¦‹ He let Him know that there were glories waiting for Him. He was to be crowned in a few times after all this was done. Though he was cut down by His anguish, this gave Him energy to move on.πŸ¦‹  Of course he even knew that those terrorists...the so-called priests would drive down to the mountain to catch Him. He could also run away.πŸ¦‹ Him being a prophet and a se

DENIAL

DENIAL Jesus had walked with His disciples for many years.🐒 They knew who he was. They knew he was the promised Messiah.🐟 They knew he was the Christ that was foretold. The disciples saw all the miracles and wonderful things that Jesus did. They definitely knew that he was the son of God.🐒 It was all tranquil till it came a drastic moment.🐟 It came the moment Jesus started to speak and sing about death. It was the most horrible moment for the "little ones"; who knew that they would spend a life time being with the Messiah. 🐒 He clearly told them he was supposed to be crucified.🐟 One thing he also made sure they knew about was that the disciples would be scattered on the account of His troubles. They will no longer be the one soul that they were then.🐒   And peter being a brave disciple, reassured Jesus that he can never have such a thing happen. 🐟To nullify his claim, Jesus continued and said that peter will openly deny Jesus. 🐒Peter was torn down. He sai

FLOW LOW AND GLOW

FLOW LOW AND GLOW Long time ago in the land of Israel, went the sounds of watchers.πŸ§… Prophecy flew left and right and all around. That the land would get a king who will redeem the people from the hands of their enemies. πŸ‚ They were happy and always enchanted every time such prophecy was said.πŸ§… You know, the prophesy was not fulfilled immediatelyπŸ‚. There was a long length of time before the Redeemer came. It is said that it took around 600 years for the prophecy to come to pass.πŸ§… Even those "watchers" - those prophets said the things they would never see in their life. But they blew the trumpetπŸ‚ And because enough time was given for people to prepare for the Redeemer, many drew lines about who they thought the Redeemer could be.πŸ§… "The king would be in high ranks in government and would be born among the royal family", they thought. They definitely knew the Redeemer could be a might heir from the royal family.πŸ‚ They knew he would be famous. They

ROTTING SEED

ROTTING SEED Jesus lived a few times while he was nearing His death. He had this repetitive paragraph," the son of man will be tortured and crucified.πŸ’€ And on the third day, he will rise from the dead."  He emphasized the fact that he will not receive the glories to come unless he was crucified.🌳 He will not completely please God unless he was crucified and died for men. The disciples obviously felt sad and never wanted to believe such a fact would happen.πŸ’€ Yet, the seed had to die first and regrow into new life of splendor. It had to be a rotting seed.🌳 There is a simple formula of success. No pains, no gains. No body handles success in it's truthfulness and has never tasted the wrath of it's paths. πŸ’€The truely successful people have tasted the bits that burn down to their DNA.🌳 They have had several failures and setbacks. They have gone through death. They have gone through rotting. And there they are , swimming in success.πŸ’€ Christ would never hav

DIM EYES

DIM EYES He went by with His disciples. He did miracles in their very sight.πŸ—Ώ He at times did miracles to simply show them that He is the son of God, and that He is able to... He has the power.πŸ‘️‍πŸ—¨️ Because when He walked on the waters to find them, He wasn't healing someone or trying to show power to a large gathering, he only had His disciples that would see the out-of-this-world performance. Jesus did a lot of things.πŸ—Ώ But even at His best, disciples could still question if what he said is possible. "I will destroy this temple and build it in three days". Jesus said. Many alongside some of his disciples exclaimed, "how could you destroy this temple and build it in three days." They couldn't believe that that is possible... later on knowing that he meant himself.πŸ‘️‍πŸ—¨️ And even when he prophesied about His death, His disciples never wanted to believe that. At everything he did, their eyes remained dim to the future.πŸ—Ώ They couldn't see

PLANTATION

PLANTATION The harvest is great , but the harvesters are few.🍊 A farmer planted a lot of maize and alot of other crops in his garden. He planted other crops like beans, cassava, groundnut...☘️ At one time, he was very hungry and needed some groundnut. He thought about where to get groundnut day in day out.☘️ He later remembered a street monger that sells groundnut. 🍊He went there and bought the groundnuts for his satisfaction. But later in the years, he realized he also had groundnut. How ridiculous.🌳 He bought what he has. This thing happens to many. We have what we need but still go on borrowing and buying from others. ☘️ There is a field within you🍊. Many things have been planted in that field to meet your wants. You can plant and harvest what has been grown there. 🌳The creator has deposited all that it takes for you to go forward. Even when you may need outside help from others, much of the progress depends on you.🍊 You have walked in this world and have collected
