The King's Dogs


        There was this king that had 10 wild dogs? He used them to torture any of his ministers who made mistakes. So one of the ministers once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn't like at all. So he ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs.So the minister said, “I served you 10 years and you want to do this???? Please give me 10 days before you throw me to those dogs" So the king agreed. In those 10 days the minister went to the guard that was guarding the dogs and told him he wants to serve the dogs for the next 10 days. The guard was baffled. But he agreed. So the minister started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, washing them, providing all sorts of comfort for them.So when the 10 days were up, the king ordered that the minister be thrown in to the dogs for his punishment. But when he was thrown in, people were amazed at what they saw. The dogs were licking the feet of the minister!So the king baffled at what he saw. He said: "what happened !” The minister then said;” I served the dogs for 10 days and they didnt forget my Service. Yet I served you for 10 years and you forgot all at the first mistake!”? So the king realized his mistake and ordered the minister to go free.This is a gift to all those who forget the good in others as soon as a problem arises. Dont wipe out the history that is filled with good because of a small incident you didnt like. We are better than animals, and we must prove it in our behaviors.
Thanks.

When Helping is not Helping

Having the desire to help others is the calling that brings many into the “helping professions.” For others, it is the day to day service that we do for our families, children and others we work for/or/with. There is a fine line however when helping is not really helping, but rather a barrier that leads to stagnation or worse yet, fosters an unhealthy dependence. Indicators of when helping is NOT helping: 1. When the help we provide is not accepted by others The term I’ve used for years is when helping leads to “help rejecting complainers.” When our helping leads others to excuse themselves of embracing the help, then rejecting it, or avoiding it. This is not a judgment of our help or our intent, but of others’ readiness to change. They may simply not see the same way as you do. They may not value the same things. 2. When the help leads others to make the same poor decisions Any change effort has to be embraced as well as given. It is hard to un...

WHERE SHALL WE GO?

When we can no longer differentiate a church from a social gathering, and all what we do in church is to just have fun. When we can’t differentiate a choir from a harlot, and an usher is not different from a waiter. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When worship session in a church is just like a disco night and we cant differentiate a pastor from a comedian. When salvation message is no longer the order of the day but prosperity and entertainment message is now the core course. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When prayer warrior now have to go to tongue- speaking school for utterances, and deliverance and healing session is now like MTH 201 to be taught and learned. When pastor have to pause for members to clap and shout during sermon in enthusiasm, and all what we now gain from preaching is now new vocabulary and word usage. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When the church of God is now...
