"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Literally Not much (Nothing)." -~Jim Rohn
In the three years of Jesus Christ's ministry on earth, I have not found any scripture in the Christian Bible that gives an account of Jesus starting an orphanage or vulnerable group establishment. This aspect of the Jesus story may help us to understand that He did not come to find the vulnerable groups to leave them vulnerable so as to make them a source of compassionate giving towards his ministry. Every person Jesus touched was transformed into a champion.
Just picture some of the highlights of the Bible; When a group of mourners meets Jesus on their way to the burial site, that was the end of the funeral procession because the dead met the resurrection power and had no time remaining dead. Even if Lazarus had been dead and buried four (4) days ago and Jesus showed up at his grave, the tomb had no choice but to gave up the dead and produced a live Lazarus. In the presence of Jesus, sickness and disease did not even need an announcement but left people's bodies noiseless. The bottom line is that Jesus did not give any form of tribulation the pleasure of being named such as the disease of the year to the extent of naming movements or events by the names of troubles such as Lazarus Ressurection day, Cancer day, Aids day, etc. Jesus was able to extend festivities without an additional budget for beer during one wedding celebration he attended. In fact, we could easily say that Jesus disrupted companies that preyed on people in that biblical time, the professional mourners' associations, funeral services, who could not continue as funerals prematurely got disrupted with unexpected resurrections
Contrary to the Jesus style, Today, we want to identify the orphans or widows and we want to ensure that they keep that title forever possibly engraved on their foreheads for easy identification. We have given diseases such honor that we dare anyone to forget their names. vulnerable groups have been hypnotized over and over with lies that a better life awaits them in heaven. crooked religious teachers have made it their life's goal to ensure that they thrive over the people's ignorance while extorting the poor of their hard-earned meagre incomes under the guise of giving to the Lord. How are the poor being helped when even the little they have is being taken away from them.
The mission of every man or woman is typified by Jesus' attitude. Don't leave your fellow man worse than you found them. Don't make your fellow man forever dependent on you as though it is the best thing you can do. You are not helping the poor by ensuring that they remain poor for your own benefit. But ensure always that you help the poor to find and wake up the champion in them.
A good leader is not the one with the most followers but the one who raises the most leaders. A good King is not the one with the most subjects but the one who raises the most Kings. Cherish every relationship that you create in the course of your life because every person that has crossed your path, is there for a purpose. Find that purpose and you will not miss out on life. Every good and kindness that you will give out there will always come back to you in a more amplified form for your good. Whoever you raise up out there, you will be raised even higher by the almighty. Just ensure you don't give out some really bad Sh**t to someone because you might just receive a load of the same back and amplified.
Today, Go out and do some good out there because that is who you are in the image of God.
