THOSE THAT HATE OTHERS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR LIFE

Life is more precious than silver and gold. Those looking for children and who have tried all possible ways without success can tell you how valuable a child is to them, even though many children are born into the hands of the wrong parents.

The reality is, if you have respect for life, you will never hate somebody, and if you respect yourself and really want everyone to believe you are doing the right thing on earth, even though no one is righteous, you will never victimize and terrorize those whom you hate or speak the truth.

The whole body of a man is propelled by his mind or brain. The mind can engage in the act of both good and evil, but once you kill a human being, there is an indelible bloodstain on your hands, and there is also bloodguilt upon you. 

There are medicines and healthcare facilities that give comfort to the sick. When we are old, we succumb to death, but nobody can ever bring the dead back to life. If so, what authority do you have to take someone's life?

The world is never going to change, not only because the fight against crime has been unsuccessful, but also because there are authorities behind it, since crime is a lucrative business for many rich people and institutions.

There is discrimination, racism, and killings everywhere because of hate; probably that's why the Bible says that "Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has everlasting life remaining in him."

In fact, those who know the truth about crimes against humanity yet prefer to be quiet or declare war on those who speak the truth are more dangerous than the perpetrators. 

Everyone will die, but after your death, what will remain of you for others to talk about matters. Today, many call Hitler, Leopold II, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, etc., evil people. 

This has affected many of their families, who have had to change their names; therefore, whatever a person does, he must first of all think of its consequences.

There will never be any forgiveness for those living today, and also after death, for the crimes they have committed against humanity. 

They will continue to be restless and unhappy and go down into their graves for their sons and daughters to pay for the crimes their fathers committed. 

CAN A MAN LOVE ONE WOMAN IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE?

Francisca Savage

Many experts and doctors claim that any man is polygamous by nature. This means that they absolutely cannot remain faithful to one woman but be tempted to love another woman or cheat on their wife because, as human beings, it’s really hard to resist temptation sometimes.

If that’s true, why are there marriages that have lasted from the very first day till death separates them? In fact, there are thousands of faithful men in their entire lives who loved only one woman.

January 1, 2018, marked 24 years of our wedding anniversary. On that day, I promised to go forward without looking back, prepared to face the rigors of marriage and settle as a responsible man.

Before then, finding or choosing the right woman to be my future partner was like a nightmare, taking into consideration the number of people getting a divorce every day after tying the knot.

It’s very common to see hundreds of couples at wedding ceremonies, particularly on Sundays, making vows and promises to love each other and bringing an entire room to tears. 

After the wedding or traditional marriage, they start a big celebration together with family and friends, and the couple is full of hopes and dreams, but like the fading sun, many marriages fail to last.

Marriages are now characterized by many problems, to the extent that many fear marrying. As a matter of fact, marriage is a journey not only full of happiness but also pain, tragedies, misery, sadness, and uncertainty.

Even though there are hundreds of articles online and books on how to be a successful couple to enjoy a happy marriage, many marriages still end up in separation or divorce.

The question is: Why do some marriages last forever and others disintegrate? There are many reasons leading to the break-up of marriages, but most reasons are not spending enough time together with your partner, cheating, allowing bitterness and resentment to overrule the heart, being hard to forgive, and financial issues.

Making vows is very easy, but the results of some bitter separations and divorces could be disastrous. Some breakups of marriages have led partners to mental institutions, and others, after a long time, still find it difficult to come to terms with what had happened to them.

If children are involved, some are badly affected depending on how old they are.  Unfortunately, many couples do not recognize the Holy Bible as one of the best books that could guide marriage to success and happiness.

Gen 49:4, Mal 2:14, Matt 23:30, Deut 24:5, Mark 12:23, etc., all speak about marriages. When I got married on January 1, 1994, I realized that wealth doesn’t guarantee a happy marriage, but faithfulness, respect, fulfilling your commitments, and equally sharing responsibilities do.

I have enjoyed a happy marriage for over two decades, knowing that there is more happiness ahead of me, because I have a good wife who loves and respects me, while I give back the same love and respect to her.

On many occasions when my wife is busy at work and at home, I usually ask her what she would like me to cook. By the time she returns, the food is ready for her and the children.

Mr. and Mrs. Francisca / Joel Savage

Taking such responsibilities strengthens marriage. I have heard many times men saying, “I’m not stupid enough to let my woman know how much I earn.” That’s a very big mistake; one of the strongest foundations of marriage is transparency.

When you are a married man, don’t hide anything from your wife. Your wife is the one who can manage your finances very well if there is trust and mutual understanding.

Many times, I forget that I have even given her money to keep for me until she reminds me. ‘A woman is like a beautiful flower in the middle of the garden, and the man is the fence around her.’ That’s a Ghanaian proverb, I think so.

Be ready to say to your wife, “I am sorry,” any time you make a mistake. If you find it hard to apologize to your wife, there will always be a misunderstanding.

Give your wife the respect, love, and protection she needs, and surely you will also be a happy man. We are blessed with three sons, and from every angle, I can't see what is strong enough to separate us from death.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE IS HAPPINESS NOT A BURDEN IF YOU MAKE GOOD USE OF IT

Life is happiness, not a burden, if you make good use of it.

Life always has a story to tell. As children before adulthood, we were fortunate that our parents toiled for us in both hard and unique ways. But do we sometimes take into consideration how our parents suffered for us to give them the respect and love they deserve?

Well, many had it rough in life because they were neglected by their parents, yet be thankful to God, because that bitter experience of neglect gave you the courage and motivation to carry on daily in life, and that will and determination you embraced were the keys that shaped, molded, and educated you to success.

We are positive because we believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. We are hopeful because life never stops dreaming of wonders in spite of the blunders.

She sings of happiness because there is always someone out there at any moment who loves you, who prays for you, who wants to thank you for something, or because you played a significant role in their life.

Thus, it is only proper that you live purely, patiently, and peacefully. Free yourself from the slavery of ‘fitting in,’ for you are more blessed than you look, more amazing than you appear, more intelligent than you sound, more spirited than you seem, and exquisitely precious than you think.

You are God’s masterpiece, rise to every occasion. As a gift to the world, refresh our sensations. If anyone misunderstands you, let them wallow in their ignorance; to be great is to be misunderstood. That’s part of life if you fully understand the aspects of life.

EVIL IS POWERLESS IF THE GOOD ONE IS NOT AFRAID

Life is beautiful


Have you ever wondered why people who are kind and do good never fear any evil? Because when you have a genuine heart and free mind, you will walk in the shadows of death but you will fear no evil.

Politicians and many heads of churches continue to deceive people that money is what everyone needs to be happy, instead of peace and love. Thus; the love of money has brought untold violence and crime in our societies today, bringing fear and uncertainty among people.

Many enjoy committing a crime because they think they have the power to do that, but in the long run, their lives end up in a way they aren’t expecting. The world is so cruel that one instantly becomes an enemy if they don’t join the evil things people do.

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32. Sadly in today’s society, the truth will put you into the biggest problem to find yourself in a very tight corner you may find it hard to free yourself.

Even though money plays an important role in society, happiness comes from the genuineness of the heart. Do away with that jealousy, hypocrisy, hatred and cultivate the attitude of love and concern towards people you hate.

Normally, people want to be peaceable, honest, and kind. Why, then, do we often see violence, injustice, and cruelty? Horrific news reports are common. Everyone blames Satan for the destruction of the world. The question is: Who is Satan? They are people among us.

The requirements for a happy life are few and simple, peace and security, loving friends and family. Good health, adequate food, clothing, and shelter. Above all the purpose in life and hope for the future.
