HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

You see this popular statement up there? Many of us use it when we are meeting people for the first time, especially, strangers. It is good and there is nothing bad in it. But, I have met people who used this statement 'proud-fully" & arrogantly.

Many of us think, everyone that comes to us and meeting us on our C.E.O's chairs, or in our offices need our help and they can't help us.

Let me tell you a story. A lady (my neighbor) came to my house one day and when she came in, I said to her ' How may you help me?' She laughed and said 'Man of God, it is you that can help me oo. I am having exam in school tomorrow and I don't have money to register the course, Sir please help me with any amount". I gave her what I could afford. She knelt down and was just appreciating me. I said, thanks to God.

She stood up to go, and her phone rang, I heard a song and I love that song so much. I asked her if she can send it to me. Sharp sharp, she did. As she was doing it , I saw so many messages of great men of God on her phone and powerful Christian videos, Bible versions and so many articles. I was like whaoooo. Can you share this things with me? She asked if I have space to take them. Sharp Sharp, I opened my xender and everything was sent to me. What that lady gave me that day should worth 15,000 Naira if I had wanted to buy them one by one. I looked at her when she finished and I said, when you came in, I asked you ' How may you help me? You said there is no help you can do for me and it is I that can help you. See how you have helped me greatly now with all you gave to me. She laughed and left.

I went to a school, and the school Secretary said to me harshly and 'proudfully' 'Mr man, how may I help you" . I laughed inside and I became serious and I told her my mission on free tutorial. She later saw our proposal and some of the schools we have been to. She became my friend. Took me to the Principal and said, "Sir, this man is here sir to help our school. I smiled. After my talk with the Principal. I was about going out of the school. The security man asked me to sign out. I told him, I did not sign in. He said he forgot to ask me to sign in.

I collected their visitors' book, and I filled the columns available there. But I noticed there is no column for visitor's name. They only wrote " Whom to see " "Time in" " Purpose of Visit" "Time Out" . I said where will I write my name? They said , Haaaa, we don't have that column for name. I said, you should have it and gave them like 3 reasons why they should have it. The school Secretary said, 'Oh. you have helped us again. We will correct this"

Imagine Abraham telling the 3 angels that came to help him overcome barrenness "How may I help you?" Imagine him asking them arrogantly.

I know many of us might mean well when we say "How may I help you" but please, say it with humility of heart. The person you think you want to help might also have your help with him/her. We all need help! Remember, it was an house girl that helped Naaman out of his leprosy, despite the fact that, he was a great general. 2 Kings 5:1-7.

As much as you have help to give to people, know also that, you too need help and anyone can help you. Don't speak arrogantly. Don't be proud in your heart and act when addressing people.

MARITAL EXPECTANCY OF MEN

One of the most significant sources of stress in marriage is tied to expectations. When expectations are unclear, unhealthy, unspoken or unmet , one or both spouses can start to feel neglected, inadequate and/or frustrated with the marriage. I’m convinced many (if not most) divorces come back to expectations. When a man and woman first start out together in marriage, both of them are carrying unspoken expectations. They each have a vision of what the home life will be. They have separate ideas of what their sex life will be. They have different dreams for what their future family will be. They also have different expectations for what the each of their responsibilities should be. These different expectations are rarely communicated out loud because most newlyweds naively believe that they are so in sync with their spouse that the unspoken expectations are exactly the same. This is never the case. Two different individuals with two different personalities coming from two diff...

MARRY A BEST FRIEND

Friends play a vital role in our lives. The presence of friends in our lives is supposed to be a blessing. There is no security like having a friend who watches your back, guides you, assists you and listens to you. After creating man, God realized there was one thing missing, which was a lifetime friend for the man. That is why He instituted marriage; a lifetime friendship between a man and his wife. In this life, if any one will doubt us, not our friends. If anyone will give up on us, not our friends yet people we call friends, people we take bullets for, are the ones behind the trigger sometimes. Enemies who want to hurt you these days come into your life as your friend, just to have access to you. Satan has succeeded in creating counterfeits, including friends. If this is not the case, how can a husband of ten years of marriage tell his wife, “I no longer feel love for you so I want a divorce”, how can a wife married to wealthy man, leave him because he is now broke. People t...

WHAT IS THE BEST GIFT OF ALL?

“Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, coming down from the father of the celestial lights.” Yes of the many gifts that god has given mankind; there is one that is greater than all the res. What is it? Jesus’ well-known words, recorded at John 3:16 tells us: “God loved the world that he gave his only-begotten son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” The gift of God’s only-begotten son that would certainly be the greatest gift that any one of us could ever receive, for thereby we can freed from the bondage to sin, old age, and death. Try as we may, on our own there is nothing we can do to be released from that bondage. However, in his great love, God provided what is needed to bring about that release. By giving his only-begotten son, Jesus Christ, as the ransom, Jehovah God gave obedient mankind the prospect of life everlasting. But what exactly is the ...
