What do you have in common with the people you claim to love?
What do you have in common with your husband, with your wife, with your brother, with your sister, with your mother or with your father?
Do you know the world looks messy now because a lot of us have become selfish? We are not willing lately to bind ourselves to a purpose, to a mission, a cause for greater good that can tie us to the greater success of everyone connected to us.
In 2017, I got on a language exchange app to improve my French and German language learning. As I started to talk with most of the people in the app, I realised they couldn't teach me their language in English perfectly like I wanted them to. So I decided to teach them English so when they become better with English someday, they can teach me their language well for me to understand.
Never did I think teaching people will bind me to them and cause me to write everyday to motivate and encourage them to greatness personally.
Today I can bodly stand in confidence and say not only have I taught people English with my knowledge but in humility I have also changed lives of most of my students around the world. I deem this achievement to be nothing but by the grace of God.
But how was I able to do this successfully? I could only do this because the people trusted me that no matter what I will teach them the right things, give them the right knowledge and do right by them. I was scared when some of them entrusted in me with a bigger responsibility to teach them and guide them. Thank God, majority of them have turned out well and got positive feedback and results. Me as a teacher succeeded and they as students also succeeded because we had an agreement. That agreement was trust and excellence in knowledge.
Husband, do you mistaken your wife's submission and obedience to you as stupidity? If you do, you are a very immature man I tell you. Her submission and total devotion to you as a man and her husband must be done, so the marriage can get to a successful end. The submission and total devotion she is showing is her honouring her agreement to be your wife. So don't you ever get it twisted!
Wife, do you also mistaken your husband's love and adoration for you as stupidity ? Do you walk all over him, disrespect and disregard him because he loves and cares for you too much? Listen, that love you and adoration you are disrespecting from your man anytime he gives it or shows it to you is his agreement or commitment to be a better, and a well deserved husband for you. So,
becareful!
Parents, what agreement do you have with your children as you have brought them to this world?
Do you have responsibilities for them and a life lesson to teach them. As children, our parents made an agreement with us through school, that we should not drop out of the first five in our class. Whether in primary school or university.
In return, they bought us the best video games, from Nintendo to Playstation, the finest clothes and every comfort in life they both thought we needed. Because of their agreement for us to be the best always in whatever we did. Don't get it wrong, they were not rich, but my parents worked all kinds of odd jobs, 2 to 3jobs each they had. Just so they can honour their agreement to us and not disappoint their children.
Today, people see my brothers and I to be extremely intelligent people. We are because we sacrificed also to make their hustle worth their while.
As I close, I'm asking you again, what is your agreement with the people you claim to love?
Is it a good one or a bad one?
It's up to you to decide.
