The Quest Of a Man

You know prettiest of life is in perseverance of belief.How you believe determines how you live. There is no religion that has no results that's why the African Tradition has brought rains through what they call rain making ceremonies. African Tradition is not in my support but all I am just saying is that it works because they apply faith in what they do. I was so taken away in thoughts that I forgot I had to sleep. I went on just sitting like that not even reading my book , but just staring at the roof of the house. I had many thoughts about my Pastor, the way he preached and explained how faith could make everything possible for us as Christians. 

I was shocked hearing my neighbour's cock crow , meaning that is was now three  o'clock. I made a little prayer for the blessing of my business then I went to bed to snuggle myself with the blankets so that I would wake up fresh in an hour time. I was about to dream when my alarm shook me. My wife woke me up, she really was still sleepy but managed to wake me up. I went to work everyday because of my wife's waking hands and responsiveness to alarm which I was always dead to hear. 

Thoughts were really wearing me off I was getting thin day by day and losing weight was now my worry. Is it that my wife cheated me and got infected with some disease ? was one of the worry I had. I ate up myself to a point I blamed it all on my parents as if they were the cause of my pain. I could not really find my enemy in all this thinking, even myself I was becoming my own enemy.

Thoughts were just exchanging in my head, I really felt the need for medical attention before I lost my mind. It seemed to me that I was over thinking ,  I gave my mind to other fresh thoughts of what really is being a man. In my reasoning I found out that it is all centered on an achievement that a man can achieve and can have. Fathers are born out of a male that has chose to be a man. 

The reality of life is that it's actually a struggle to become real when you don't have reality in you. One wise man once said man are workers and man are providers, in addition I would say real man are the ones who have achieved salvation. Look at this there is no manly figure that can surpass what Jesus Christ did on the cross  ,and there is no man who has achieved the reward that Jesus Christ attained. Being a man is knowing the real man who has an achievement and learn from Him.

Being a Christian has taught me a few principles to real man-ship. Christ loved us that's the first principle to real manship. He lived a principled life that was supposedly supported by one goal to get the human Spirit. Love is what won the battle over all the evil in the world. What you love nommater what you will not give up on it. Look at this and if it is not really working it is a sign you have lost focus. I have seen men who have gotten car engines finally fixed, not because they found it  easy to have the breaking point , but they fought until they had the car engine fixed.

What you love you won't give up on it until it gets fixed. You stay geared up ,awake and watching over it that it won't just die in your watch. That's  what a real man does, they are fighters to their last breath like Jesus who loved to a point that He let His ghost out. If realness was in most of us most of the broken homes would be the strongest empires in the world. A weakness of a person who is stubborn is that he will condemn wisdom when he sees it. At one point there was a guy who was married to his lady, suddenly problems suddenly rose up in her marriage. The same person whom he called darling a few months before their divorce became an enemy because he failed to love until she was perfected in her flaws .

One thing that love does is what fixers do. They have solution providing spirit rather than having a problem searching mentality. The moment you look at a problem and you take it into mind you lose love over what is to be fixed. Is it education that gives you a headache ? Well sometimes the best that you need is to fall in love with it and start to find solution to your problems. Seek a solution for your problem and then you will solve it. Falling out of school has made so many people to regret over their lack. If a channel loses signal you don't throw the television away , but you seek were the problem is located until you are able to watch your programme  again.

A law student on training to become a lawyer , and one strength of a lawyer is to read volumes of books in trying to see case studies of the similar situations that he is likely to defend in order to make sure they get someone in or out of jail. Hence you can be a master of something after you go into school for it. Learning is in different ways not only in formally registering for a school  , but also privately learning and studying about the particular area. Jesus Christ said "I do what I see my Father doing". Meaning His defense was wisdom seeked from the Father. Where you get your principles of life will define the nature of a man you will become and that you are .
