Breaking Up Your fallow Ground



                                                      Break Up Your Fallow Ground

 "For thus says the Lord to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:
“Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns". Jeremiah4:3

Any good farmer will tell you that before one can grow any kind of a garden, one must first dig up the ground where the garden will be.
It is only after the ploughing that one can begin the process of sowing and reaping. A fallow ground is either that which, having once been tilled, has long lay uncultivated; or, it is ground that is slightly plowed, in order to be plowed again before it is planted.
The nature of the soil has a tremendous effect on the quality and quantity of the farm produce.

In our spiritual life, not being able to break up the fallow ground before planting is the reason for so many anomalies and failures in our lives most of which, "church goers" blame on the devil. Humans find it convenient to accuse the devil or circumstances for their woes.
The Church should break up her own fallow ground, by making attempt to stir up anew, the decaying righteousness of her own members. Fact is, too many of us have been long uncultivated in righteousness therefore, it is time to let true repentance break up our fruitless and hardened hearts; and  when this is done - and when the seed of the Word of Life is sown in them - worldly cares and concerns will not arise and choke out the good seed like thorns.

Jeremiah warns that one should not sow the seeds of repentance in unfit soil, but just as the farmer prepares the ground, by clearing it of weeds, and exposing it to the sun and air, before planting the seed, so must you regard repentance as a serious matter, requiring forethought, and anxious labor.  To sow in ground that has not been properly plowed one might as well sow on land that is full of thorns - it is time and effort wasted. Let us break off all our evil habits; clear our hearts of weeds, in order that they may be prepared for the seed of righteousness.
God Bless you!

FR. MBAKA; WHERE DID HE GO WRONG?

Image
 PLEASE LEAVE FR. MBAKA ALONE.  Enough of all these insults. If Fr. Mbaka talks, you come to social media to insult him, just because what he said didn't favour your own candidate. He keeps quiet; you still insult him, claiming that he has gone into hiding and is not showing concern for the plight of the people. What do you want him to do?

The Passion of love and The Pain of Loss - Part One

Image
It was the longest night of my life. The doctor looked at me with mute hopeless appeal, his facial expression was that of total despair though he managed to pretend as if everything was okay. Within a second, I was gripped by this sense of disgust, sorrow and revulsion and I gave him a curious but futile stare. I could feel the scorch of fear on my skin travelling through my spine, down to the bone marrow even though he is yet to utter a word. I nearly lost my balance; I had to lean on the wall to regain myself. I feared the worst. It was about 1:30am in the early hours of Friday March 27th, 2015, I could feel the movement of light disappearing from my eyes. The night became darker than usual. My heart skipped as if it's about jumping out of its cage. All these happened in less than 5 seconds. I knew there was nothing okay about the situation, but I managed to ask, "I hope she is alright?"

The truth remains that no one has it all, we all have some good and bad sides but there are some common qualities that makes a man very attractive, highly respected and the Ideal man for the women folk.

I have a mom who is a role model to many other women, six lovely sisters, majority of my friends are ladies, my current work place is predominantly women, and I was married to a woman who understands what she wants clearly. From experience and my long term interactions with them I have been able to identify some important qualities most women would like their man to have.
