WHO ARE YOU WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING?
Yesterday morning I woke up feeling super tired from
driving long distances and spending my whole Saturday at an amazing women's
conference. I did not make it for workers meeting in church which starts at
7:30am. I was ready but did not want to rush out. While taking my time
something was like just stay back and rest besides you spent the whole of
Saturday with God. But I remembered that I am a Sunday school teacher to the
teenagers. I imagined my teacher bailing on me without notice or any
explanation and I got up.
What is the reason for this story? Well many people
keep asking God for a bigger platform, for a better job, for a better country,
for a spouse, for wealth, man the list is endless. But God just looks down and
laughs. If you cannot sacrifice sleep to tend to your responsibilities, if you
are not faithful in little, If you are not faithful when no one is watching who
will give you more? Why should God give you more? WHY?
I have noticed how people love God so much on social
media, then I ask myself if all these people really know God and love him who
are the people that are pushing corruption forward? Who are the people going
late to work? Who are the people that are so impatient while driving with the
church sticker behind their Vehicles?
I went to church and the other teacher was there but
that was not the point. The point is that, taking up my responsibility in my
little pariah is forcing me to grow. I do not want to be recorded absent when
God looks down. If I will not miss a lecture, then I will not make excuses when
it comes to my responsibilities to God.
Today I am not here to judge you. I just want to ask
you are you faithful with the little God has entrusted to you? What fruits are
you bearing? What type of father are you? What will your wife say about you?
What will your children say about you? What type of wife, son, daughter,
friend, leader and follower are you? What does God say about you? You can
deceive the whole world, you can even deceive yourself, but you cannot deceive
God. He who is faithful in little will be given more. If God was to say
something about you and the people closest to you were to be honest about who
you truly are, what would they say? I know people who are just pretending on
social media. I used to do it a little in the past. But I realized that what
you want to show people is not as important as who you truly are.
Can God count on you? Can your family count on you?
Can your country count on you? Can your friends count on you? Go look in the
mirror and ask yourself if the person looking back is the best version of you?
If the answer is no make changes. Take your responsibilities seriously. You
cannot get the reward without the responsibility. You cannot take the prize
without running the race. Get up and do the right thing everyday and
everywhere. Have
an amazing week.
God bless you dear for this. I just realized the real us is what we do when no one is watching. God gives us some small responsibilities (so we thought) while he is preparing us for the future. It reminded me of David in the Bible, while he was busy protecting his sheep from Lions and boars little did he know God was preparing him to be the leader of a chosen nation, he passed cos he was diligent in small things. I just understood that being diligent in the affairs God put us into, will make us to be blessings to our generation. Thanks sister for this wonderful write up and may God continue to bless you. You are a blessing to your generation.
