LIGHTEN THE DARKEN WORLD 1

 The truth is the world we actually live in is darken.It needs light.No wonder we keep hearing and seeing strange things happening such as wars ,political instability, faminine,diseases ,sickness,inordinate affection between two males and females and lots more .To the world it's normal .To me i call it strange because that was not the normal plan of GOD for human race.All these started some thousands years ago when Man fell and Eden was taken away .leaving man in an UnEden vicinity.
 life on its own has gotten its own shear of the darkness.what a pity!
 it is crystal clear like the nursery school rhyme "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB". quiet audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that life isn't 1+1=2.It's far above that.After days of thinking on how I can really describe life ,I finally came to conclusion joining the populace that " life goes on".
 life seems so bright and clear when everything you have ever wished for or wanted is coming to reality.life's good when you are experiencing unremarkable success and breakthrough in carriers and endeavours .
 life could be so cruel at times,especially when faced with failures,challenges, hardship and trials.life becomes motionless and dull .life becomes DARKEN!
 THERE IS A WAY OUT THOUGH !!!

watch out for the concluding part! LIGHTEN THE DARKEN WORLD

 Around the fervent heart 
With delirious desire

TENACITY

                                               TENACITY
Keep on pursuing, keep on trying until you get your dream being achieved and fulfilled. You are closer to achieving it than you ever think, do not give up. Just a little pressing harder, be focus and persevere. Pay the prize of;
 - self preparation
self discipline
-self denial
& -self determination.

Your trying times & challenges are only refining the "GOLD"out of you. My dear reader, even if it seems your strength is falling you,or your vision is no longer clear, still keep your eyes on the goal, re-strategize, be focus, and keep pursuing until you achieve your goal. And let me remind you that;
"The spider taketh hold with her hands and is in the king's palace" See how tenacious the spider could be.

 Every morning as the sun rose, the spider that lived in the large azalea bush on the side of the garden path began the intricate and painstaking task of spinning a web. First he produced a fine thread to drift on a faint breeze across the narrow path towards the other side. When the thread caught on a leaf of the rhododendron bush on the opposite edge of the pathway, the spider felt the change in vibration and reeled it in to tighten the strand. Then he carefully walked along it and strengthened it with a second filament, and a third, and a fourth, and several more, until the thread was strong enough to support the rest of the web. Next he made the Y-shaped netting to create the first three radials and continued to add more radials and cross threads until the web was about 20 times his size. The result: something that was not only beautiful but also a means of survival (that’s how spiders catch their prey). But there was one major problem with this particular web – the spider was building it directly on the garden path, spanning from one side of the path to the other. So every time someone walked down that path, which was at least twice a day, the web was broken. Yet as I watched, for eight days in a row, every morning, as the sun rose, the spider began, once again, the intricate and painstaking task of spinning a web. As I watched this spider, I thought about how it embodied persistence and tenacity. Yet I knew, as surely as I understood that the sun would rise the next morning, that all the persistence and tenacity in the world would get this particular spider nowhere. It got me thinking further about whether such situations ever occur in our workplaces. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where persistence and tenacity simply cannot overcome the existing environment? I have always considered determination and drive to be important and valuable character traits. But there are times when, as leaders, we need to realize that doing the same thing over and over again with doggedness and diligence will never get us to a successful outcome.

THE MANGER

  Christmas -a period set aside for the celebration of Christ birth.When we talk about birth especially in this Festive mood ,no other birth catches our attention other than the birth of JESUS CHRIST. Having left Heaven (a place of comfort) and being born to this Earth all in the mission of serving mankind from eternal destruction.
 I once asked myself

; how on earth would a saviour come so humble and been born in a manger,He would have chosen to be given birth to in the World's best Clinic then or attended to by the best Medics.Eventually i realise that he choose too to prove How Supreme he his .

 HOW A  STABLE LOOKS LIKE

The scene is familiar to billions the world over: a ramshackle but warm stable, a newborn baby lying in a manger, and a collection of livestock standing peacefully in the background. But was it really like that? What animals would actually have there been in a Bethlehem stable 2000 years ago, and what else was lurking in the shadows and dirt? There are no first-hand accounts of the birth of Jesus. Nevertheless, the archaeology of the region has given us a wealth of information on the history of domestic animals, and veterinary science allows us to make educated guesses about the animals likely to have witnessed such an event. Our sketch of the Nativity scene is in no way definitive, but it represents a best guess at what might have been around. Lowing cattle, etc Most of the familiar farmyard animals were firmly domesticated by Jesus’s time, possibly because wild animals were being over-hunted and people needed another food source. “With the exception of the turkey, all livestock animals had been domesticated a long time before the birth of Jesus,” says Albano Beja-Pereira of the University of Porto in Portugal. Sheep were probably the first, with an initial wave of domestication 11,000 years ago and a second 6000 years ago. Cattle followed shortly afterwards: they were domesticated in south-west Asia from wild animals called aurochs and then taken to Africa and Europe. Pigs were domesticated around the same time, in several different places
Creepy-crawlies The obvious answer is insects and parasites, in huge numbers. Densely packed creatures are always tempting targets for parasites looking for a home, and domestic animals are no exception. If we go with tradition and assume that Jesus was born in winter, any animals in the vicinity would have been crawling with lice. Cows would surely have been infested with cattle-biting lice, which chew on their hair and skin. “Lice are more common in winter, because the animals’ coats are longer and thickly matted,” says Richard Wall of the University of Bristol, UK. Animals shed their winter coats in spring, along with most of their lice, so a summer birth would have been less itchy. Anyone hanging around a stable would have been irritated by the bazaar fly, the Middle East equivalent of the common housefly. As well as buzzing around infuriatingly, the fly can also spread the eye disease trachoma. Plenty of insects bite humans, and some are willing to venture indoors. Stable flies mostly feed on the blood of livestock, particularly cattle, but they do sometimes bite humans as well. Aside from the obvious harmful effects of having one’s blood sucked, some of these flies carry anthrax. It’s best to be careful when using straw as bedding, too. It is often infested with straw itch mites, one of the most aptly named organisms around. They do not feed off humans, preferring to eat other insects, but if they get on your skin they can cause dermatitis. Flesh-eaters Annoying and potentially harmful as these species are, their unpleasantness pales in comparison with that of the sheep bot fly. Adult females squirt live maggots up the noses of sheep, where they crawl up into the sinuses and head cavity. The maggots spend the winter there, feeding on the animal’s mucous membranes. In spring they crawl back down into the nostril and get sneezed out. Notwithstanding their name, the flies don’t limit themselves to sheep. Unlucky humans can wind up with maggots living in their throats or up their noses, which can cause fever. Particularly unfortunate individuals suffer ophthalmomyiasis – maggots living in their eye sockets. Another insect with a similar lifestyle is the spotted flesh fly, a common pest in the Middle East. Disdaining noses, they insert their young into open wounds and scratches, including navel wounds where umbilical cords have been detached. They often go for the genitals, infecting millions of animals around the world. Humans are not safe, and there are rare cases of newborn babies being infected. We won’t even mention rats and mice. All in all, if you are about to give birth, try and arrange to do so somewhere other than a stable.


SIGNIFICANT OF THE MANGER

 Believe it or not, Jesus wasn't actually born in a manger (a food trough for animals). But after Jesus was delivered, his mother did lay Him in a manger after wrapping Him in swaddling cloths. So why was Jesus laid in an animal feed trough in the first place? Thousands of years ago, God the Father promised His Son's birth soon after Adam and Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:15). Because sin now created a rift in mankind's relationship with God, we needed a Savior who would sacrifice Himself as payment for the sins of those who believe in Him. To that end, God put a plan in motion that would result in the birth, ministry, death, and resurrection of the only Being capable of becoming the perfect sacrifice God's justice and holiness required. When Jesus's mother, Mary, was pregnant, she was forced to travel to the town of Bethlehem with her husband, Joseph, so their family could be counted in a census of the entire Roman territory (Luke 2:1–5). This fulfilled the prophecy saying the Messiah would be born in that city: "But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days" (Micah 5:2). Some time after they arrived, Mary gave birth to Jesus. The Bible tells us that the reason Mary laid Jesus in the manger was because "there was no place for them in the inn" (Luke 2:7). There is more than one meaning for the Greek word for "inn" (kataluma)—it can refer to a hotel-like residence, but it can also be translated as "lodging-place." This has caused some controversy as to whether or not Jesus was actually born in a house with an area serving as a nighttime shelter, or a stable as many suppose (taken from the fact that Jesus was laid in a manger). Many houses in that day had a wooden or stone feeding trough for the animals that were brought in against the cold night. If Jesus was born in a house, it is likely that Mary and Joseph were relegated to the lower floor due to the overcrowding in the upper-level guest rooms. Regardless of the exact location of Jesus' birth, Jesus' first bed was an indicator of His nature and purpose. Rather than coming to earth amidst fanfare and in plush surroundings, the King of Creation and God's own Son was born among animals, with his very first visitors being lowly shepherds from the fields. This humble king would grow up to one day sacrifice His life on a cross for sinners, rise again, and then return to His Father's side in power and glory.
