Condemned For No Reason


Today is the day Jesus goes to heaven to be with the father after he completed his heroic mission here on earth.
But he did not have a smooth sailing in his work in completing his mission. We all know the story. His mission being here on earth was to bring salvation to mankind. To reconcile sinners like you and me back to God. So we may have restored relationship with the Almighty, just as it was in the beginning of creation.

Innocent mission, you will think right???
But why did he face so much difficulties trying to fulfil this mission? Why did he face so much opposition from the authorities of his day.??    Who instead of helping him complete his mission here on earth, rather threw problems after problems in  his way every single day. They threw false accusations at him from every angle just because they were jealous of him. He healed the sick and made them whole, the religious teachers and pastors of his day wished it was them rather doing all that and not Jesus.

They made him hated so much in the eyes of the people, to the extent that they conspired to kill him. They had to do this in a clean and legitimate way so at the end, when it's done, they will not be seen as evil people in the eyes of the people, the Jews.
They hatched their plan so perfectly that by the time it got to Pontious PIlate. He had no option but to agree to the evil charges they will bring against him.

Even though Pontious PIlate knew very well that Jesus was innocent. He did what was pleasing to the crowd and gave up Jesus to be crucified like a criminal amongst criminals on the cross.

As humans and individuals, we face difficult situations everyday to speak the painful truth which will be unpopular to many people or to lie to ourselves and deny the truth so we can be liked and appreciated by many people. Whether or not we choose to tell the truth, the next generation will judge us tomorrow  by what we are doing today. So let's be careful.
Are you denying the truth just to be popular among many people. I tell you today that your days of cheers and applauds will be over soon. Because those people who are applauding you today will turn on you tomorrow for not telling them the truth when you had the chance to.
Pontious PIlate personally did not find anything guilty about Jesus. But because he did not act bodly and feared what the people will say, he let the people have what they wanted. Which was to crucify and kill Jesus Christ.
Be bold and brave in the face of truth. If you fear criticism from people, you cannot stand for the truth no matter how hard you try.

Like Pontious PIlate, do not make the mistake of condemning an innocent person to death either physically or spiritually just because majority of the people are saying he or she is guilty.
Remember, I told you long ago in my previous writings that don't expect the truth to be popular before you believe it. Because it will not be so.

Listen to each side carefully, judge wisely based on experience and not on your emotions or feelings if you are a leader of your household, family or a business.

I repeat,  be bold and brave in the face of a bitter truth. You may lose many people but you will definitely preserve your life and legacy for generations.

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...

Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself. He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world. But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!! His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations y...
