Familiarity; the killer of men!

 Familiarity; the killer of men!

Uyah Humphrey

So you knew this guy back then in school, you were friends throughout his childhood, you guys were close and you did things together. 

You remember when you guys played football and even sneered at the ladies together, bullied others and even danced in the rain. 

And With all the stuff both of you did together, you were convinced that you know him like the palm of your hand.

You believe You know him inside out and can write a whole book about him. 

5 years went by, 10, 15 years. 

All of a sudden, you heard he is now a pastor. "Past...wetting? You exclaimed! Johnson 'wetting I know that year?"

You didn't waste time to explain to everyone that cared to listen how you guys used to run town back in the days and painted everywhere red.

You believe you have the complete knowledge of how his life should turn out. 

You even know his strengths and weaknesses. 

But What you didn't know is that God has the final say. 

You may have known his yesterday but you don't know his future. 

What you don't know is that 15 years is too much for God to turn a man's life around and make him a wonder to behold. 

What you don't know is that a man's life can change like day and night when he comes in contact with certain mysteries and graces. 

So because of your shock, you failed to reverence the grace he carries. 

You have refused to honor the grace upon his life. 

You still see him as "your guy."

Everyone celebrates him except you. 

Everyone honors him except you. 

By his hand, people gets answers to their challenges, the same thing you are passing through but your solution don't seem to be forthcoming. 

You have told 'your guy' to help you 'his guy' but no matter how much he tries, the oil don't seem to flow to you. 

It seems like it stops working when it gets to your turn. 

What is happening? You have been asking the same question out of frustration. 

The thing is that You are yet to place positive demand on his spiritual office. You are still seeing him from the lens of your 'yesterday.

So many people are on this table.

You are yet to realize the wonders God can do with a man who is yielded enough to his dealings. 

You don't know what happens when God handles a man who is humble enough to align and be moulded. 

You call him husband/brother/father/uncle/friend/my guy.

And that's because you are only seeing him from the lens of who you used to know him as. 

You are yet to trigger the spiritual aspect of his life through honor. .

Everybody receives their testimony through him except you. Why? 

Familiarity is a killer!!

It takes a man 'in' the spirit to recognize another man 'of' the spirit.

 

Which door have you been closing in your life because of dishonor?

Now ask yourself, which door have I been shutting out of my life because I have been dishonoring the Carrier because of familiarity? A food for thought. Only the wise understand the spiritual. From a concern Servant,

Osinbajo has not withdrawn his 2023 Presidential Ambition

 Politics

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo has not shelved his presidential ambition for 2023, a statement by his support group, the Progressive Consolidation Group, PCG has revealed.

The statement signed by the chairman of the group, Aliyu Kurfi, disclosed that although the Vice President is yet to officially confirm his intentions to contest, the report that he has dropped his ambition was false.

“Our dear Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN remains loyal to his boss, President Buhari, he much focused on the job and he has never been known for desperate politicking,” he said.

“Specifically, it must be stated that an outrageous lie that the VP attended any meeting to renounce 2023 presidential ambition or bow to any politician for same, remains an absolute falsehood; how can he renounce what he is even yet to accept or declare?”

The group further insisted that the Vice President’s withdrawal claim was an illusion of certain elements that lack base, hence, Nigerians should ignore the rumour

Every well-informed Nigerian knows that PCG is the very first 2023 support group to be formally recognised by our progressive party, APC and we have never sought to prevent or discourage others from following in our footsteps because VP Osinbajo will not subscribe to dirty political games that some typically desperate politicians play,” he added.
