A Gift From My Heart

Every city is becoming hotter and hotter as the day gradually approaches.The hotels,brothels,charlets and guest houses are getting saturated,even those that are merely conspicuous.Those of them that lacked patronage in the past are now favourites because everyone is scrambling for space for their own shows.There is a sudden increase in the demand of many commodities as in christmas.Everyone is fully aware,the news is in the air,boys and girls are all agog at the thought of the day.Married men and women are not left out because plans are already on the way.Hills are being levelled while valleys are being filled in serious preparation for that particular day . Owerri,a town with countless hospitality centres is a good example.There are shows being organised to take place in almost every corner.Some churches are also up with their programmes both for youths and adults in commemoration of the event.

A Living Sacrifice

A recent experience in a meeting I attended made me to reconsider my commitment to the things I am supposed to be doing especially in the area of God's work. Nobody can gainsay that total commitment to ones duties is an easy one. Commitment is a sincere promise to do something. It is the willingnes to work hard and give your energy and time to a job or activity. The activity could be to yourself or to another person. Commitment requires compassion which is love in action. This passion is the one expressed in the work one is do or as a result of ones respect for the owner of the work.Commitment abhors flimsy excuses,unnecessary convenience,complaints as well as laziness.Sometimes,we fail to get commitment because we are expecting other people to do what we are meant to do. It is a pity! We were all created by God for His own pleasure particularly. He did not have to take His time to make us for nothing. It was solely for His personal pleasure.Ofcourse you know that He can also do
