The Way We Are {RELOADED}

What's up people, its been quite a long time since I dropped anything on this blog. I just got carried away with some some other stuffs, but here we are again. I remember dropping the article "The Way We Are" a couple of months ago (Read the article HERE) here is a re edited, repackaged and reloaded version of it... ENJOY 

Trust is a word that carries little or no importance in our contemporary world these days. Have you ever wondered why you find it so hard to trust anybody, even your family members and your so called Christian brothers and sisters? You are never at ease watching them handle your business or even leaving your spouse with them...Did I just hear somebody say "trust no man"...are you now making me to understand that your so called Christian brothers and sisters also fall into that category of "no man". Are they all that bad?, are they all that harmful or dangerous to relate with?...Lets go into the Bible....The Scriptures says: Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Titus 1:15(KJV)...So, with that don't you think that your inability to trust "NOBODY" or regarding everybody as a sinner is due to the state of your own heart and conscience or what do you think ?

Let's take that text from other Versions of the Bible which says: To the pure [in heart and conscience] all things are pure, but to the defiled and corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are defiled and polluted. Titus 1:15(AMP)...Here is another that says: Everything is clean to the clean-minded; nothing is clean to the dirty minded believers. They leave their dirty fingerprints on every thought and act. Titus 1:15(MSG).

Now, let's ask ourselves why do we classify everything anybody tells us as a lie? Hope it's not because we too are "potential liars”? Abi? Why will you just wave off what somebody tells you as a lie and of which you were not present at the scene of the incident and you can’t give an account of what really transpired, yet you tag an eye witness a liar that only shows us that you too would not have told the truth in that circumstance.
Why are married couples suspicious of almost every move their spouse makes?. They are always on the look out for every call, message and mails that comes their partner’s way. Hope it's not due to the fact that spouses like that have skeletons in their cupboards, or why would one just conclude that his or her spouse was cheating on him/her just because he/she came late from work just for one day. Hmmmn, O ma ga ooooo.

In our day to day life nowadays, we just make some judgements that are baseless and proof less or why do we tag every accountant a thief and every lawyer a liar? Abi? Hope it's not because we ourselves can’t be in charge of money without stealing some into our pockets and bank accounts. You heard your friend made a first class result and you jumped into the conclusion that he/she must have cheated or bought his/her way through. This clearly shows that you are invariably insinuating that you yourself cannot make a first class without cheating.

Writing this article reminds me of a saying I had stumbled on a few years ago, the adage (which I can’t quote verbatim now) says something about people who are judgemental normally judge people based on who they themselves are. This means that all you think about people is actually what you are. So you think somebody who you have never for once caught stealing is a thief, then that means you yourself are a robber. Once you see a guy and a lady being close friends and all you do is to start telling everybody that they are dating or something not right is going on between them, my dear friend, all you are telling the world is that you are emotionally weak and you cant handle being close friends with the opposite sex, Simple! 

Our pastors and ministers are not even excused from our judgemental hearts and condemning tongues. We make lots of unfounded and baseless accusations, allegations and insinuations against them. Once a pastor buys a new suit, you start having a feeling that he has started stealing the church’s money. The ministry is booming and all you can think about is that the pastor is using juju. We now attach little or no importance to the words of our ministers, most especially the testimonies they share during their preachings which we now classify as exaggerated fables.

What a life! Now, we feel we alone are the most holy and righteous being living on the face of the earth, every other person is a sinner. My dear friend, why don’t you take cue from Jesus who never condemned anyone because that was not the reason of His appearance John3:17... how about the adulterous woman John8:7. Let us stop being pharisees and sadducees Let us stop the accusing fingers, let us learn to live in peace with much love and much more trust for each other..No wonder; fraudulent Businessmen find it hard to trust every other businessman, armed robbers and hired assassins trust NOBODY, adulterous and unfaithful spouses grow suspicious about every move their spouse make...We too, hope we don't distrust and condemn people because we feel they are just exactly the way we are... 
ENJOY...
