People followed Him for different reasons, trailing Him almost everywhere. In fact, not all were fond of Him in any way.
So after an initial ânaturalâ trimming, about seventy people identified themselves with Him besides the constant huge crowd.
One day, as He began to talk a bit deeper about the reality of His purpose, majority of the now group of seventy were offended by His words and decided that they were better off pursuing other interests.
But some stayed. The twelve.
To be certain none stayed back against their own will, He asked them the question, âwill you also go away?â This was âfollower-shipâ was set for an unfamiliar course.
If at any time they had had second thoughts about following this Jesus, this was an opportunity to reconsider and walk away.
To this question came the reply that will be the crust of our discussion in the next paragraph, âTo whom shall we go? You alone have the words of eternal lifeâ (John 6:32-66).
At some point in our journey, we should be resolute enough to envision the kind of life we want to live and be courageous enough to choose who or what would be our blueprint and to what extent.
Where possible, we should be clear how this privilege would be earned and flexible enough to use the eraser when necessary.
This is no easy task neither is getting to such moments-of-truth. It is true that we may not have had any say in the selection of people and/or events that may have now left permanent brushstrokes on our lives.
As deeply as that hurts to recall, we are here now â we survived and that is all that matters in this hour. And we are not alone. More people than we can count have been so affected even if not everyone is talking about it.
Letâs celebrate our survival and take ownership for US from this moment on. No one should have the right to influence US without our permission.
Just because a figure is a strong influencer does not earn them the right to change our mould.
The days of ignorance God has overlooked but now He calls on all men to repent. That right is ours now.
It is also true that for some, it may require years of unlearning and realignment to break certain ties but let the past remain in the past.
Frankly, this does not come spontaneously. It can take years and often times external help, but we can pull through. That we made it to this point is an indication that we have not seen the last of us yet. It is tough, I know but we are doing this for US â it is our gift to the US that is about to be reborn.
Think of it this way: if we have left our old country, how can we still live at our old address there? Rise up and get going! A generation is waiting for our rising.
I realized that some of the most profound messages in life are the unscripted day-to-day lives of people who are just going about their business.
Well, there is news: we have people watching; the generation waiting for us is here already.
They are the visible and invincible spectators watching our unboxing. To them, we are the heroes they hope to become someday. They perceive we are coming from somewhere even though they have no idea where.
This group of spectators are watching and learning from us as we transform our scars into masterpieces of art or their worst nightmare.
And why should we care? After all someone gave us these scars caring little about our wellbeing. Someone did not come through when they should and we were broken in the midst of it all.
But we survived â you and I survived.
Should we now create another cycle of thoughtless scars or show the world what good actually looks like?
Should we perpetuate the cycle or end the hurt?
Letâs be the example we wish we had even if no one seems to be watching.
We have the potential to be an improvement over the help we received no matter how little it was.
Be the living epistle for this watching generation that good can and will always triumph over evil.
It may not become all perfect just yet but when we take our bow, letâs do that knowing that we lived out the good example we wish we had.

Ending Note
One of my days in school, I heard my classmate humming a song by Sinach: I know who I am. Then the person proceeded to play the song and sing along. I was surprised because the person is not a Christian. However, noticing this made me smile, without knowing who she was listening to (most probably), the song spoke volumes to her.
It is powerful how much influence we can have on others without knowing.
It is powerful how other affect us and we follow suite without even paying much attention.
When I realised that I influenced others without forcing them to do things which I did, I became more intentional in my actions.
The truth is that we influence people who may never let us know that our lives hvae such effect on them, however it is our responsibility to make sure that our actions are appropriately intentional.
God has given each of us an assignment and these assignments come with an amount of influence (big or small). What God requires is that whether our crowd is big or small, we are consistent in shining our light (His light in us).
Our presence in the earth is intentional by God and we should live as such.
We add taste to the earth and to other people’s lives.
Ending Verse
Matthew 5:13-16 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (KJV)
