Preamble
Hello!
Finally, this topic is off my drafts. This is one of the topics I have been making too much noise about.
I cannot pinpoint why I found it hard to share it but here I am, finally doing it.
Lets gooo!
Voom🚙💨
Activist
You like to fight for the less privileged?
Eh?
You want to be superman?
Eh?
You want to be a hero?
Eh? Repeating lines
Do you love fighting for rights?
Fighter
Do you love standing up for others?
Or are you standing up for yourself?
Why?
Why are you fighting?
What is the reason?
What is the catalyst?
Who offended you?
Why are you an activist?
Purpose
What are you hoping to achieve after the fight?
That is if you win
Do you think you will win?
Or you know you will win
How will you continue?
As in, what next?
Should anyone learn from you?
Is what you are fighting for worth learning from?
Do you even know where you are going with this your fight?
Or you just want to make noise
If others decide to join you, are they on their own?
As per, watch out for yourself
The Bigger picture
Many of us want to be relevant and if that means joining any crowd, we do not mind.
We just want to be relevant.
Let it be you did not do anything with your life
And sometimes, some of us go as far as jumping into rickety vehicles without realizing that they can harm us in the long run.
Tetanus!
We give our precious time and mind away to poisoning ideas that do not take us anywhere meaningful.
In the name of activism
There is a bigger picture to every smaller picture. There is a reason behind every movement. There is a purpose for the struggle and if you don’t know when will you?
Understanding the purpose of any cause will help you know when its end has come and when confusion has set in.
Many movements in our present day are full of confusion because those involved do not know what they are doing there.
When their supposed needs and demands are met, they look for a reason to create another.
Greetings
Sometimes, we fight for things that we know the answers won’t satisfy us because the trouble is within us and not outside.
Know your struggle.
Know what you are fighting for and why.
Flesh and blood
The Bible with confidence says
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (KJV)
The fight we have as children of God is the one of the heart.
The devil is always seeking to steal our attention from God. Every slight opportunity is one to fill our minds with thoughts that displease God.
We fight against darkness
The real battle is the one of the mind. The place where the Holy Spirit guides us to make decision.
Everyday, choose God
Recently, I was in a conversation with a lovely sister and I shared with her how God had used certain people to teach me about my heart. I learnt to be conscious about my heart frequently and the amount of prayers I had to make in order to maintain a proper frequency with God was good enough to count.
All because of certain people
The devil always wants to poison our hearts with evil thoughts and suggestions. No space is too small for him.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:(KJV)
And in moments when you feel so close to God, you will realize that the devil tries so hard to strike you down.
This minute you are so in love with Jesus, the next minute you are fighting a hateful thought.
You thought it was coincidence?
This minute you are so full of love for others and even spent time praying for them and showing them care, the next minute you doubt God.
You thought it was ordinary?
Realizing that the Christian life is a constant battle will help us to be vigilant and observant of our thoughts and actions.
What are you thinking?
It would also help us to evaluate our actions through the lens of God’s eyes (His word)
Is God pleased with me today?
I believe this is one of the reasons the Bible encourages us to pray always because in the place of prayer, God exposes us to His light and we see ourselves for who we are.
Psalms 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.(KJV)
When we come before God in humility, He let’s us know where we stand at that present moment before Him.
Nobody meets Jesus in sincerity and remains the same. If a man remains the same is because he was not sincere with Jesus.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.(KJV)
And if you are like me who knows the fragility of her heart, you won’t allow the devil to plant evil seeds.
Destroy them before they destroy you
As you come before God with a pure heart, He will give you strength to win everyday.
He is always available
Conclusion
When we fight something but don’t what we know what it is for, we lose vision and soon confusion will overwhelm us.
I thought this post would take a different route but it decided to take this route.
Your comments are welcomed.
If you desire to share this post, go ahead please
Until the oldest draft is written…… wait…. until next post
Stay safe and God bless.
