I DON’T KNOW YOU, SHIFT TO MY LEFT HAND SIDE!

How do you treat very successful people and people you look up to? I don’t need to wait for the answer. Imagine you dreaming to have an audience with a dignitary and you had the opportunity before you, what would be your response? Don’t worry, my response would be same as yours.

But wait a minute, if these ones were disguised would you treat and honour them the same way? Imagine that dignitary wearing a different cloth, looking unkempt and probably coming down from a taxi, would he still get the regard he deserves? Would you respond to him or her if they ask you for directions? Or if they ask for your help?

Years ago, while working in a hospital, we admitted a patient for complications arising from a chronic condition. This condition required monitoring and the patient was not very cooperative. She did not seem to have funds for most of her treatment, but all the same we gave her the best kind of care possible. In my estimation the patient looked poor and her biodata never struck a bell.

But something happened, at about midnight, the governor of the state came to visit her in the hospital. It was shocking seeing the lady being so familiar with the state governor and I had imagined how embarrassing it would have been if we were hostile and rude to her.

I also remember attending to a patient who was brought into the emergency unit, by two men. One of them was her husband and another their relative. After attending to them, one of the men gave me his complimentary card and I discovered he was a senior Judge in the state.

People may not always look it, but it is important you consciously make an effort to treat people nicely. You don’t know who is who, and you never know who can change your life for good. Don’t always be in the habit of sizing people up and thrashing them if they don’t meet your mental estimation.

I have seen people being rude to other people, because of how insignificant they thought they were; but later when they discovered who these people really were, suddenly began acting very courteous. That person you just overlooked and disregarded may just be the vessel you needed for your promotion.

Stop stratifying people based on their outward appearance; even though you have concluded on them as being insignificant, never forget that they are humans too.

Pilate wanted to let Jesus go. So he made an appeal to the crowd again. But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” Pilate spoke to them for the third time. “Why?” he asked. “What wrong has this man done? I have found no reason to have him put to death. So I will just have him whipped and let him go.” But with loud shouts they kept calling for Jesus to be crucified. The people’s shouts won out.

Luke 23:20‭-‬23 NIRV

The e-mob, the online offsprings of their ancestors who cancelled Jesus…the template is same…accuse anyone of anything…accuse a man you can’t get of rape and the mob shouts, ‘crucify him’… and willing accusers show up.

Accuse a pastor of rape and killing a girl in his church and the mob shout, bloooooood, blooood we need blood…it is true…that is where he gets his power from…and willing accusers type on social media…many times things not true.

Accuse a business entity of ‘kurukere’…and come all out…cancel them…they are cancelled…accuse a rich man of doing rituals…and the mob shouts burn, destroy, scatter, steal, kill destroy.

Have a heartbreak, get upset, accuse the alleged heartbreaker of ‘Wu Wu not take it’ …flash his or her number online and tell the mob, feed them with blood…shout bloooooood, shout attack and they all go out…with no evidence, no thought, no critical reasoning, no second opinion and they go for blood…and the cycle continues.

Seeking for second opinion is not weakness… patience is not weakness… temperance is not weakness…mercy is not weakness…it seems it is weakness…until you are in front of the mob…a cockroach in the gathering of chickens.

Ponder on these words

Blue Tongues may spell danger.

The tongue sometimes tells a story…

When you go for a party or an outing and you see people’s tongue blue, it is likely a pointer that drinks are laced with Rohypnol.

Rohypnol is a tranquilizer ( drug used to relieve tension and anxiety) which is 10 times more potent than valium.

It some countries it is used as a sleeping pill.

Rohypnol also is abused as a recreational, or “club” drug, often in conjunction with alcohol to provide a high.

It is used in various forms including; crushing the pills and snorting the powder, sprinkling it on weed and smoking it, dissolving it in a drink or injecting it.

It is called in the streets; roofies, date rape, forget me pill amongst other names.

When drinks are laced with Rohypnol, the person who drinks it may not know as it is odourless and tasteless and because it is a strong sedative and also associated with amnesia the victim will not remember what happened, little wonder it is called forget me pill.

It is one of the commonest cause of surprise pregnancies in young people, especially when the only thing they can remember was that they went to a party or visited someone.

Choose your friends wisely and shine your eyes.

Drugs do not pay.

Stay away from drugs!

Anger, a ‘D’ short of Danger.

I have seen sweet people turn to incredible hulk with little or no provocation, I have seen people who their anger is like bicycle, ‘e no dey hard to start’…yeah some of them believers too.

I have seen people leave a church program in high spirit, blessed and inspired and boom minutes later fight violently with other people, for almost no reason at all…I have seen people turn red with little or no provocation.

I have seen people have their weddings called off because of misplaced outbursts of anger publicly exposed due to the planning stress. I have seen brethren turn their wives to punching and kicking bags and I have seen wives turn their husbands to punching and scratching bags.

And many time help is closer than many people think.

It is good to pray and fast, make up and make decisions to change, but when it
‘Told in Gath, Proclaimed in the streets of Ashkelon— and the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, and the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph’ that you are an atomic bomb looking for where and on whom to explode, it is vital to seek help quickly.

Fortunately help is available, as you pray and fast, it is not unscriptural to seek medical help…to seek Psychiatric help…to begin cognitive behavioral therapy and medications where necessary.

Mental health issues are not wished away, or watered down by ice cream, a new bag, a gift, a hug or make up sex, alcohol or recreational drugs.

Seek help, before you destroy important pillars in your life.
