SOMEONES VIP


Firstly I want to say a very big thank you to all my wonderful readers, those who sent me mails to encourage my works and all those who call. You all have been wonderful and I must say that you inspire me too.   I would love to share a story with us, it got me thinking and also changed something in my life so I know it’s worth sharing.
“I had an experience recently that made me feel completely invisible. I flew to Nashville to surprise my son Josh at his college. When I arrived, I made my way with my printed reservation to the rental car clerk. I handed over the reservation, and the clerk said, “Oh, we are sorry, but we gave away your car”.
What do you mean you gave away my car?” I replied, “I have a reservation!”  He informed me that it was CMA (Country Music Awards) week, and they were really busy with lots of important people coming through. They didn’t have any cars left, but I would get the next car that came in. he went on to say “you just picked a really wrong time to come to Nashville.” I thought, no, you just picked a bad time to give away my car.
Two hours later, I eventually managed to get a car from another company and finally got to my hotel. When I gave my reservation number to the lady behind the reception desk, she said, “we are sorry but we gave away your room” here we go again I thought. “it’s because its CMA week”, the woman said yes,  and it’s really busy by that time I really felt invisible.
In time I found another hotel, unloaded my bags, and immediately left to drive to my son’s house to surprise him. I drove up parked and walked to the front porch. There was josh sitting with a friend. When he saw me, he yelled, “wow! I can’t believe you are here”. He ran to meet me, and gave me the biggest hug. Finally I was no longer invisible. I was a VIP to my son.
There are two basic lessons the spirit of God taught me via this story. You must always know that you are important to someone.  To the world you may just be one person, but to one person you may be the world. No matter how you feel about yourself, you are always a VIP to someone. It may be a distant friend, family relation, parent, or hubby.  I really don’t know about you, but I am a VIP TO GOD. When people think you don’t matter, I would love you to remember that you are a VIP to someone somewhere.  You might be the reason why someone is smiling. You might be the inspiration behind another man’s book. You are not a waste, you are not useless and you don’t have a price tag attached to your neck. You are just a VIP to GOD. He can do anything just to see you come closer to him. You matter in Gods agenda.
Another lesson I learnt is thus; there are lot of us who have given away Gods reservation-OUR HEART, to other personalities thinking they are more important than the man who has preserved your life till now. So many have given away Gods reservation to money, men/women, career e.t.c. but the amazing truth is that in him alone can we find PEACE.
Unlike the man in the story you just read, Jesus doesn’t walk away like that, he comes back knocking until his room (your heart) is given to him. This is why He is called the GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE.  Share this with someone…..

Hold On...

Our experiences in life changes just like the weather conditions. At different times we are faced with either pleasurable or harrowing conditions. Sometimes we experience heat-warming success, at other times we experience heart-rending  failures. Sometimes there is much joy and laughter, at other times there is much sorrow and sighing. Sometimes we bubble with life and health, other times we are over taken by sickness. Sometimes we enjoy prosperity with plenty, other times we endure lack and hunger. A lot of persons change with their changing circumstances. When the going gets good, they are elated and highly spirited, but when they get hit by an ugly circumstance, everything goes down completely. They lose the glee and gladness they once had when everything was favorable to them.  Most Christians do same. They love and obey God, go to church and do all manner of religious activities when things are all rosy, when there are no challenges, and turn against Him when thin...

LIVING A PRODUCTIVE LIFE 2

I believe that the last post on this subject was really a blessing to you. Well, I would like to complete what has already been started. It has always been said that good things in life does not happen by themselves, rather they are made to happen. People make them to happen. This means that whatever good you desire to see in your life, it is in your power to make it happen.  When I was studying about this subject of being productive in life, I came across an amazing scripture that opened up an entirely new portal of understanding to me. Deut 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. After going through this scripture over and over again, it dawned on me that another important factor that would lead a man to living a productive life is DECISION-BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS IN HIS LIFE. Apart from having a vision...
