A Practicing Christian... A Politician...

It all began recently, November to December 2010 until January 2011 after discussing political issues with a christian friend. We shared a number of issues about politics, the candidates and what they stand for.

The bottom line was a question;
"WHAT SHOULD A CHRISTIAN LOOK FOR IN A POLITICAL CANDIDATE BEFORE CASTING HIS VOTE?"

We suggested a number of things, some of which included;
- Truthfulness
- Morality
- Integrity
- Relevancy

These I found very appealing and satisfying, but below are some of those things I found to be way out of line;
- Religion
- Tribe
- Age
- Political Party
- Wealth, and so many more...

I wonder how a christian can vote for a leader based entirely on worldly things, things that God wont based on to approve any man. As a christian, be of the same mind like God, have a judgment like God so that every decision you make whether in your lifestyle, politics, religion or culture also wins approval from your God.

A day is coming when Christians will be ashamed of every wrong decision they made that was not in conformity with God's word; and I guess you would rather not be on of them.

It's indeed a shame to find a christian supporting a corrupt leader.

The Living Blessing…

I am the God of Abraham; the God that makes a hopeless man hopeful; the God that heals a broken heart with happiness; the God that cures the deepest sadness of the heart with my blessing, I am the God of Abraham.

“Behold Abraham, a happy man; the man to whom I have given a living blessing. Haven’t the nation been blessed through you? Haven’t I multiplied you children to an innumerable number, yet I know each one by name? For generations you’ve still pleased me; your children keep your blessing alive through worshipping me as their God.”

“God then, and tell all the people in the pagan kingdoms, even those who worship idles – those helpless images that were crafted by their ancestors as gods. Go and give them hope; tell them about me and let the blessings of your father Abraham grow. I the Lord, am the only true God, and my blessings have life. I am not carried by my people from one hill to another, no, I carry my people even over the seas and take them were I please because the whole world is mine and all that are in it.”

“Because I am the Lord of a living blessing, I bless one orange fruits in the world share the blessing, yet they can’t consume it all: I blessed Abraham with one child, but the whole world yesterday, today and tomorrow is blessed through him. Abraham is a happy man; rejoice, O Abraham!”

“Those that keep peace with the children of Abraham shall have peace within their boundaries. I am the only God that defends my blessings forever. Bless the children of Abraham and you’ll share their blessing. Those that love me as their God are confident people: they won’t worry about any thing – they are happy people.”

The seasons of the nations that worship me will be complete; I will give my people good leaders, honest leaders and my blessing will grow.” I am the Lord your God.

Making A Home: Important Things…

Every complete home as four arts that should be clearly noticed or identified; -

1) the bedroom

2) the kitchen

3) the toilet

4) the sitting area

Each of these is important, and for a home to be a home a complete home, you have to have them. They all don’t have to be under one roof, no, but they need to be there, somewhere.

Identifying these parts of your home will make you have easy planning, time and a better development strategy.

One day a friend, who was still staying his parents’ home and was about to move to is own home asked me what was needed for a home to be a home, and what he would have to maintain ad their supplies. I told home that all he had to do was to identify those given parts above, and all identify things that have to be added or changed for time to time for whatever reasons.

The Bedroom; It’s the most important part of every home. You would rather have everything else missing under your roof, but not your bed. A lot depends on your bedroom; your health especially and the hygiene to show elsewhere. A bedroom is the most rarely changed part of the home; you can sleep on the same mattress for years, same bed for years, and same pillows for years and same bed sheets for months, and it’s okay. Such things don’t apply everywhere else especially in the kitchen and the sitting area.

The Kitchen; You’ve got to clean it up! I personally hate to use the same plates and glasses for years. You’ve got to refill those foodstuffs and spices from time to time… this involves trying new ones from time to time to maintain your appetite; pleasure in eating.

The Toilet; Were all rubbish goes must be clean. This will help you avoid a lot of diseases and discomforts. A clean toilet is just as important as a clean kitchen, bedroom and sitting area; they’ll all cause great discomfort if not worked on well. Gentle scents and clean and sufficient utilities in the toilet have made me name it the second most interesting part of the house, next to the kitchen. I can stay in the kitchen for hours and I don’t miss the bedroom or sitting area, and I love to take enough time in a clean toilet… my brain works so well in their, I also feel at ease.

The Sitting Area; This is the most impressive part of every good home just like clothings on your body. Neat and smart clothings define a lot about your like a neat and smart sitting area in your home. I promise you that you’ll always hate to come home early enough if your sitting area is shabby; such discomfort will keep you out late in the night.

Work on your home; how else can you make the world a better place without making your home a better place for you?
