MEEKNESS IS NOT WEAKNESS

 

 Matthew 5:1-12, known as the Beatitudes, opens Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where he teaches that true blessedness belongs to the humble, merciful, pure in heart, and those persecuted for righteousness. These verses flip worldly values upside down, promising the kingdom of heaven, comfort, and satisfaction to those who rely on God. Verse 5 notes, ''Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land"  Meekness refers to the humble and gentle, not the aggressive. 

This Bible verse reminds us that you can be humble and gentle no matter how strong you are, and choosing not to fight does not mean you are weak. It shows that you are strong enough to fight the opponent, but rather control yourself to avoid unnecessary dramas. We clearly notice that God doesn't like those who use their strength uncontrollably. He expects us to practice self-control, which is the best achieved way of conflict resolution in our lives. 

The subject matter also refers to''power under control" or "restrained strength," rather than weakness or cowardice. It is characterized as a,gentle, humble, and teachable attitude toward God and others, involving a submissive spirit that trusts God's control. Key aspects include not demanding one's own way and possessing a calm, gentle spirit, especially in handling conflict. 

How much restrained or gentle are you? And how much angry can you get when wronged? these two phenominals help us know when to quit no  matter how bad we are wronged. Yes we get wronged almost daily, and our hearts grieve, a feeling that cannot just stop instantly but after some deep meditation on yourself and realising that fighting is not the only solution to every thing. No matter how angry you can be, always spare that inner side of you and reflect before acting.

So much is happening in today's society. A lot of injustices,abuse and even violence has been made a daily routine on the calender. So much hurting is done by the people around us, those we cherish and hope in. But the opposite is always the latter,we get deceived and hurt. Some even remind us that, ''you can't do nothing,'' a phrase that tears our hearts beyond. A loved one telling you that he/she can harm you and there is nothing you gonna do to them is kinda gaslighting. They oftenly want to see your next move. If told so and you feel like initiating the planned fight, then somehow you are not wise. what a wise person would do is to try and keep silent, be gentle even at your lowest and walk away. This simple act will leave the gaslighter ambushed and look stupid to him/herself.

 Choosing peace over violence is a win to those who practice self control even when we feel earth is breaking. Staying strong and being a single brick in a wall bears us greatness other that loss. Being gentle even when you feel strong as Goliath is a big win because you never know the David that could defeat your spirit. 

*Keep your spiritual health straight. 

*Stop abuse, injustices and violence. 

*Be aware of gaslighting and planned fights.

*Always try to be gentle; meekness is the only key to solve the injustices caused by anger issues 

 

 Love one another and stay safe and blessed. Happy new month of Love

VOICE OF THE BOY CHILD

As much as we aspire to have male children, we are supposed to acquire knowledge in all aspects and in stages required appropriately. The oldest society valued the boy child compared to the girl child. Most heavy duties and taking care of the family were their task. They could look after their mothers even after the passing of the father since it was a mandate, one that couldn't be escaped. Training was done by the elders who made sure that boys were well equipped with skills to empower them and make them good fathers and elders, 'the face of tomorrow.' The core values of the society stipulated that the man was the head of the family and was expected to take good care of the coming generation without a mess. They were also expected to solve social, economic and political issues spotted. A lot has changed since the coming of the white man. Explorers came to bring changes, and they didn't just teach us about life; they ruined our lives. The betterness of the society start...

YOU DESERVE BETTER

 Every woman dreams of Mr Right, and every man dreams of a good wife... You call it 'wife material,' but I beg to differ. It is being a good wife, a wonderful mother and a beautiful image to society. You can have all of the qualities, but still fail to be 'wife material' simply because he knows what he is looking for in a woman. Men say they like what they see, ooh yeah, the figure, skin colour, beauty, among others. Yes, they fall for 'physical features...the mountains, rivers and the green vegetation, I mean, as it is. Women, on the other hand, fall for what they hear; what she is told is enough to make her say 'YES' even when he is not worth it. That's why most women end up being with a man of sweet words rather than one with looks. But later fell for some serious mess which only tore her to pieces, unrecognisable. You know the good thing with love is that it grows to show and bring out the true physical, emotional, spiritual and social values of a pe...

LIFE TRAIL

Many of us get broken, lost and unidentified because when life decides to mess with you,you become humble at its feet. Sometimes we get angry at small things not knowing what lesson they carry. The only option left is to invite your inner self to undergo every challenge you face because you have no option. For instance,breaking up with someone you most cherished and loved is devastating. It could be your parents,siblings,partner or even your kid. But do you know that that is just a lesson to learn? Sometimes you ask yourself questions without getting answers,but instead you got to trust your gut and let it go, because moving on is not a choice but an obligation to take for achieving mental stability. Even if you get drained,always remember that life itself is a lesson and every lesson must be learnt. There is no escape route no matter what or how you do it but rather be able to undergo the challenge for a better personal growth. Stay strong and positive as you wait for the tables to tu...
