Take Responsibility

1 Samuel  17:20 "And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him;..."


God honors and values a man who has a sense of responsibility. One of the very first appearances of irresponsibility detested by God can be seen in the phrase made by Cain just shortly after the murder of his brother, Abel "Am I my brother's keeper"?(Gen4:9). 
 The context verse above gives an amazing understanding on the importance of responsibility, it shows David being told by his father Jesse to take food to his three brothers who were at the war between Israel and the Philistines but David however who was a caretaker of sheep looked for someone to leave his sheep with before leaving to meet his brothers. This is one vital aspect a lot of people tend to overlook, David didn't out of excitement to go see how the war looked, leave his sheep without being tended for, he looked for a man to leave them with, who would care for them while he was away. This looks similar to Jesus telling Peter to take care of His sheep(the Church) while He was away also. Friend, it's important to be responsible, you must be diligent to look over what you're left in charge of. If you've got a son/daughter, be responsible to train them till adulthood, if you've got a career, be responsible to follow up till the end, every great man is an addict of responsibility. Don't be a man who tries to avert blames when the call of responsibility, take responsibility for everything around you.Stay responsible. Do have a great day ahead

Priority information

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
