SCRIPTURE: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mark 12:30-31.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is a waste of life when no one benefits from your existence.
A major mark or indicator of a worthy life is living for the benefit of both humanity and eternity. It is living a life that is of great benefit to people.
Sometime ago, a senior military officer, an Air Commodore came to see me in my office with his daughter. He pointed to his daughter and said to me, “This girl is your fan. She is crazy about what you do. She told me, ‘Daddy, what I want you to do for me is to take me to see the pastor.’”
When I saw the girl, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Right in my office, she was filled with excitement and jumping. She brought a book and asked me to autograph it for her.
She called me, “My spiritual father, my mentor, my role model.” I autographed the book for her, and then, her father wanted us to take a photograph together, and we gladly did.
You see, people like this girl are many around the world.
The lesson to learn from this is: it is a waste of life when no one benefits from your existence.
Beloved, I want you to ask yourself: How many people is my life impacting? Is my life impacting the people around me positively?
There is a member of our domestic staff whose children attend the same school with my children. At a point, the school increased the school fees and he couldn’t pay his children’s school fees.
I told him, “Don’t ever think about your children’s school fees as long as God positions you in this house. We will trust God to pay your children’s school fees.” The school fee is in five zeros per child, and he has three children.
Beloved, don’t be self-centred. Live to impact others.
Remember this: it is a waste of life when no one benefits from your existence.
