Calm Down πŸ˜€

 Proverbs  25:28  "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls."

     Tayo, a young promising man in his early 20s was on his way to get some groceries at the grocery store down the street when he saw another guy in a heated argument with his friend. In a bid to show solidarity, he runs down to "help" his friend, while trying to wade into the matter he forcefully pushes the other guy, a gutter was nearby, the guy slipped, and hit his head on an iron bar, and dies on the spot. Tayo never got to the grocery store or back home until after 15 years behind bars for manslaughter.

  Self-control has been a reason many have preserved their liberty while others without exercising it have sold theirs'. In a world where many see calmness as a form of weakness and retaliation as strength, it takes one with wisdom to know how to live in peace. The scripture above posits who a man without self-control is like, He says "he is like a city broken down without walls", always ready to be attacked from external forces. Today, make up your mind to ALWAYS be in charge of:

1.Your emotions.

2.Your decisions.

3.Your actions.

No situation should be too big to trigger an action that's not been scrutinized by Self-control.

Calm DownπŸ˜€

Count the Cost

  Luke  14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? I'd never forget a knowledge I got in my Economics class while I was in my Pre-degree programme in 2013. The lecturer asked "what comes first, consumption or production?", without any hesitation, everyone shouted " Production ". The lecturer looking at us unsatisfied with some subtle grin on his face, asked " why?" , a guy raised his hand confidently, got up and said " because we produce before consumption can take place", the lecturer laughed, and we all for a minute looked bemused with certain indistinct chatters here and there, after some minutes, the lecturer called the young man and asked "so what happens when you produce and there's no one to consume it", and for about some few seconds, there was a seeming silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop. The loud silence was fol...
