HELPING THE NEEDY, TO WHAT EXTENT OR HOW BETTER CAN WE DO IT
Good day friends,
Its been an amazing day, and i do believe that you are doing just just find, its really sunny over here and as you know its very hot, The poor nature of our power supply is not even helping issues, though its been like this for a long time now but we hope that soon, there will be divine intervention. Please if you are in my kind of shoes, don't give up, join your faith with mine, lets trust God for a change.
Today i will be sharing about help for the needy, and how effective or efficient, we can do it, looking at the nature of our society today, in view of the past happenings, present and even the future.
Life is a journey and the reality of it is revealed on a daily basses, Just like a famer, you only predict the possible outcome of the present farming season but can not be very sure of the yielding capacity until the harvest of the season is done. we can actually say about the now, but do not know about tomorrow. you may be rich today and tomorrow you are poor, same also is someone who is in a very high position today, can become low by tomorrow, so it is needful that we pay attention to people who can belly feed today, or people that we call the less privilege,
Different individuals have structured their concept of caring for the needy, many of it are great and many are sentimentally driven but we must consider what we do and how we do it to enhance effective result.
All of this approaches are wonderful but we need to leverage on the result we see after the action have been taken. A few days ago i boarded a vehicle for an hour journey from Uyo, just before the the vehicle moved, I saw over three kids with their mothers hanging around the vehicle, asking for arms , some people responded while some said no, I was quiet until we had moved from the park before i began to engage the college of mine, asking her why she said she can never give an helping hands to those set of needy at the park, in her response, she said that an uncle of hers lost his wife on the account of helping the needy by the road side, I was very interested in knowing how it happened, so i asked her, this was what she told me.
My uncle, went on a journey with his then wife, they met a supposed needy by the road side, who requested for arms from them, the uncle wanted to pass by but the wife stop by, zipped down her wallet, brought out some naira note, and gave to the supposed needy by the road side, my uncles wife did it with a sincere heart, love and concerned but instantly as she gave the money to the crippled man, she lost her sense and could not coordinate herself anymore, the husband noticed and raised an alarms, people gathered to know why?, after the husband has narrated the incidence to the people, the demanded that the supposed needy should restore the woman and so on, after he was bitten by the people, The supposed needy said that the only way to restore her is that she will hug and kiss him, my uncle initially said no but the people insisted so the husband gave the go ahead, immediately they hugged, the supposed needy disappeared with my uncles wife and till date has not returned.
That maybe a good reason for taking such a decision but is that reason good enough and is that the best way to go about it?,
Hmmmmm, the man lost his wife, because he wanted to give a helping hand to the needy, currently, I have also seen a set of good looking young ladies and kids, who are massively on the street of uyo, you will always see the little children, run around and holding the hands of people and asking for arms from them, the funny thing about them is that, you see them with newly born babies in most Cassese and you also see them, travelling to a distant location still to ask for arms at traffics in major city, and no matter how much you give to them, you will still see them by the road side, the next day, you will still have same classes of people doing that, so how do we go about it the right way?.
I want to say again that, it is good to do what ever you want to do but it better if you adhere to the leadings of your spirit, Giving is a good thing to do, but doing it the right way enhances reward, In my own way, I believe that we should normally plan to daily be of help to people both the once we know and the once we don't know, I know that at every class of life, we all need help, to attend some level of growth and the amazing thing is that both the great and young do need help.
In the last couple of months ,I have I have tried something i have seen to produce a huge result, and i believe it can be helpful. I do have a daily planed structure of how to help people, before living the house to work, i planed that i will pay all the transport fair to any elderly person i find across my path while on transit, too and from my work place. I do this not because they ask me but i see the need to help any elderly person that comes my way. My believe is that what ever position in life i will ever attend, has been occupied by someone and a word of prayer can take me there some day. in fact always when i do that, the joy, i find around them gives me satisfaction.
A month ago, it was an unforgettable experience, when one of them looked at me and said my son, in this life, no door will deny you access, before you ask, nations will respond, I said amen, In just few weeks, its been awesome experience.
This is what i do in the last few days, but like i said, when you engage in the act you showing care to the needy, make sure you are lead to do so. Thanks for having me, @ekotmordemy, feel free to share your thought and views on the subject matter, stay safe and God bless you.
