The Will Power of Man

In human life, man has been made not to live another’s  life but believing he can do all things I mean all things, by exploring the powers that is bestowed unto him from the beginning of creation. More over the powers in the mind of man have been proven to be practically unbounded. And mans inability to explore this abilities in him makes him an incompetence and a weak being who does not understand the magnitude of his real nature. In the other way round the “ can do people” believes and know that their power is beyond what is happening in the surface, but have the knowledge of the true existing powers in his inner being.

Practical experience have shown that many fail to succeed because they believe this on the present, on the now and thus great men in the society is light and can be counted. Great men believe that human mind is filled with possibilities. Exploring it can bring about unimaginable result that is truly awesome, thus man can achieve anything, anytime, anywhere, wherever he goes provided he believe and works towards that he believe in. Though sometime or even often times towards the journey of achieving that he believes in many obstacle comes before him and he will fail; and many at times shifts the blame to other forces beside him, himself. The attitude of greatness is continuous persistence until you get what you want. More ideas on that which he is pursuing can also be derived by exploring more into the greater depth of human mind.

The unbiased truth is that man is an amazing creature, filled with powers, who know small of his powers and even use more small of his powers. It is therefore advisable that we should find it beneficial to explore always our inner abilities for unlimited and overflowing possibilities. When you refuse to explore yours, you deny yourself, society and your generation of those benefits of that human power which can do all things.

Create Your Happiness

Life is filled with many ups and downs and most often when we are in the downs of life we seem to be sad, unfriendly and unhappy. Naturally there is nothing abnormal about that but realistically speaking if the down time should span through longer period a lot of things will be in danger. We are then called to learn and be able to create our own happiness, that is we are advised not to wait for it to come naturally like we won a puzzle or house somewhere, but to make one happen for you. Making yourself happy doesn’t have to be a life time plan but it is something you can achieve in the next possible minute, yes, minute following the ideas stated below:

1. Create a Peaceful Environment: try as much as possible to tidy up your surrounding such as clearing your desk of all sort of papers and such likes, try re-organizing your room, ridding it of all unnecessary objects and getting more organized and neater surrounding.

2. Solve Some Nagging Tasks on Your List: going out of the way to do some work to reduce that piling list of task that has been scaring you will a little sense of happiness when you are done doing it. Try to buy basic things that you need, replying difficult text message, email and calls and you will notice that you don’t actually need to wait longer.

The Good Shepherd

He is a good shepherd, yes, I said that, Jesus is a good shepherd. Looking at his life history, belief and mission you will see all the qualities of good shepherd in him. As I was going through the bible passage of John 10 – 18 today I was really touched in some many ways because  the content of the passage actually got me thinking. At the beginning of the gospel he said “ I am the good shepherd” we all know that a shepherd is somebody who protects, guides or watches over a person or group of people in our modern day more like a pastor

After calling himself the good shepherd the first time in John 10 vs 11. He went ahead to explain that he is not a hired type of shepherd but the real owner of the flock – who protects, when there is attack from the enemy. Vividly speaking, am glad to know that he who is the shepherd is one who was once a fellow man and have shared in the natural existence of man both the joy and sorrows of life. Just like he explained after mentioning “ I am the good shepherd” the second time  in john 10:14, he said “as the father knoweth me even so I know the father; and I lay down my life for the sheep” John 10 vs 15 which means he knows us in all our endeavors’ and can always see to our safety. Surprisingly he affirms his knowledge of the sheep and that of the sheep to the shepherd. Here it goes, I know my sheep and my sheep knows me, therefore there is  a mutual knowledge of between the shepherd and the sheep.

He said “I lay down my life for the sheep” John 10:15 and another passage said “is there any love greater than this that a friend lay down his life for his friend”. This actually tells us that the intrinsic nature of God which is love is showered on us because he is not hired, he never desert anyone of us when we are in need. Remember, he knows the sheep and he is our shepherd who is willing to do all that is necessary to defend and save the flock.
