NEW WEEK TONIC: BE A BLESSING TO HUMANITY

November 2, 2020

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

Humans are like smoke, you only know where it starts from, once spreads, you never can tell, where it can get to. We all need to do good, you never knew where you, or your offsprings can be tomorrow.

ADMONITION:

In every situation, let's be a blessing to humanity, not because of today, but tomorrow. Let's do our unborn generations a favour by doing this!

SOME ADVANTAGES OF DOING GOOD TO OTHERS:

i. Whatever we do will return to us: Whatever we do to others will definitely get back to us in one way or the other. It's natural. Nemesis!

ii. Whatever we cook today, our children will eat out of it: Attitudes are like seeds. When we plant them, our upcoming generations would reap and eat out of them. We have a name, and that's what makes this fact a reality.

iii. It builds our integrity: Whatever we do is directly proportional to our integrity. If you are a truthful person, people will label you as such, and vice versa.

iv. It's a way of nation building: Helping one another in one way or the other enhances collective development, and this is exactly what is needed in every society. 

v. It gives relief to us: It's a key way of relieving our conscience. If you have good thoughts to everyone, certainly your mind would be free of any grudge. Then, you can be able to make peace with every man.

SCRIPTURAL POINTERS:

Psalm 37:3

Trust in the Lord and do good;

Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

Psalm 34:14

Depart from evil and do good;

Seek peace and pursue it.

Galatians 6:10

So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

CONCLUSION:

Love is the basis of unity in every society. Let's embrace the spirit of oneness and think of our collective benefits as a people, rather than personal gains. We must bless one another according to our various capacities. Tribalism should stop, ethnicity should be shunned as well. This is the only way we can progress as a Nation!
