Submit And Live A Happy Life Or...



If you breezed in here, thinking I was going to write about women submitting to their men, you lost! *lol.  I ain't wasting no energy on that. Proverbs 14 and 15 and the rest of the Book of Proverbs would give you the perfect understanding  guiding the union of man and woman.

Dating back to the time of King Hezekiah of Israel and King Zedekiah of Judah, both were likened to the content of the two basket of figs placed in front of the temple that was showed to Jeremiah by God himself. (See Jeremiah Chapter 24 for the full rundown).

One basket contained ripe and quality fig while the other, contained rotten fig. The former was likened to the state of Israel while the latter, Judah.

Israel(the former), adhered to God's rules and like the ripe fig, blossomed, while the latter, Judah, who  continually disobeyed God were likened to the rotten fig that couldn't be eaten.

In the Book of Jeremiah Chapter 24, we see the sultry names given to the ripe fig, such as, "finest-quality," ripe,'' "ready to eat," while the latter was just called "rotten" because it was obviously dead, decayed or had decomposed, no iota of good could be extracted from it so to say. *I really don't know why I'm giving the rotten fig variety of names like dead, decayed and decomposed, lol. maybe I'm only pretending to be nice.*yimu

Back to the subject matter which entailed submitting, God ruled a judgement that entailed that the people of Judah would no longer enjoy freedom but would have to submit wholly to the bad guy(King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon) in order to enjoy longevity, which was to serve as a punishment for continually defaulting.

Well, because He(God) was, and is forever compassionate, and also in the habit of forgiving, He changed His mind same year He pronounced the cruel judgement, even though Hananiah the evil prophet showed up and messed up the situation prompting God to continue with his proposed judgement.(See Jeremiah 28:3-17). *I'm pretty sure King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, pissed Him(God) off big time and He couldn't handle all of the messy drama either which was His reason for his initial change of mind.

Are you suffering or being subjected to perpetual agony or lamentation?  You may have to submit in order to live long while remaining at a spot during the entire process, but the moment you fight so hard to prove how ready you're willing to change or make amends, thereby uprooting yourself from the past, God is always there, stretching out his hands and giving you that olive palm customized specially for you.

*Today, never submit to settling, rather, fight so hard to supersede, not forgetting that you'll have to watch and learn, listen and follow instructions, and ask questions in order to gain clarity. All this and much more will give you a long fulling life.

Have a great weekend guys!

    Very well articulated! I enjoyed the historical backdrop extracted from the bible and I'm certain that was enough to buttress your point. Today people mostly on this part of the world, prefer to sit and watch and be hoping rather than stand and make a move to actualising their dream for freedom. Nothing ever comes to those who sit back and wait, you must make a move in any possible way, no wonder the saying "heaven helps those who help themselves."

PLEASE

Image
The word "please" is a subtle cry for mercy. It expresses one's vulnerability. The phrase 'please' has reinstated businesses, work, cordial and intimate relationships. In the same vain, it has clouded the thinking abilities of individuals, thus handicapping them. These "handicap" could entail compromising to illegitimate business deal, subscribing to peer pressure, or in serious occasion, giving up one's moral values. Some have contacted venereal diseases because of please . It is true that vulnerability is a bridge to connection. But never forget that vulnerability is one of the ways. There are others means of attaining it. Connection in this context means legitimate links to self purpose. Please can be used in harmless or harmful contexts. Stay woke! Ensure you're using the term "please" to achieve a purpose, not to attack a prey. If the eventual result of the use of your "please'' doesn't align with godly re...

UNEQUALLY YOKED

Image
Who is the unequally yoked person? One who is unable to partner with you at a particular level. Failure to disassociate yourself from them will lead to sinking and eventual drowning. Anchor Scripture: { Proverbs 27:17 } "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'' Ab initio, humans were not wired to live in isolation, they were wired to have companions who will help them in their daily lives. Everyone who accrues successes at different level was helped. Iron sharpens iron. Never been heard of that iron sharpen plastic or vice-versa, the iron will remain blunt and will be unable to operate at the realm it was designed to, while the plastic will be dissected into bitty parts. "Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what fellowship does light have with darkness?"( 2 Corinthians 6:14- NET Bible ) This Biblical portion is one to ponder upon. Partnerships , Relationships , and Courtships are sensitive SHIPS that shouldn...
