Hello steemchurch parishioners and welcome to today's topic I have deemed fit to title "hold on". I was moved to write a bit about this because of an incidence I witnessed today.
I was going to school from home when I saw bring chrushed by a big truck. I at first thought it was an accidental but on Lookers who explained the incidence to me said the man had been standing at the road side hitting his fingers for quite sometime before entering the highway at a very slow speed when he saw a truck approaching.
I was still shocked at to why someone will just want to take his life like that when the wife of them man ran down to carry her husband and began crying indefinitely. I was moved and upon further enquiry she said he was in debt and he was getting increasingly frustrated. She said he has not eaten for close to a week because of the way he thinks and as a result ended his life in this very shocking manner.
Such is life at times , I wished I could bring him back and tell him to hold on. Yea , sometimes we are faced with a lot of difficulties and challenges that we think just taking our life is the only solution that there is . But trust me it isn't. Life is always there with those very many challenges to test out resolve. Something big cannot just come to you if you don't prepare for it. Such is life.
Like I have often told people that you challenges do not define you but how you react to them. You don't just think there is no hope again when you have God . When you have very beautiful people created by God that can take you out of that situation. Taking your life is not an option now and in the next life time.
So also we that are called into ministering to people, it is important that we are very concious of the people around us and they way they act. Imagine I saw that am in that condition wanting to take his life. I would have appealed to his conscience that there is nothing worth dying for . Maybe it would have helped or it wouldn't but I would have loved to take my chances.
When life throw stones at you, catch them, keep catching them, saving them and soonest you will build a shield around you and no stones with meet you any longer no matter how they throw it.
Therefore, today, I tell you brethren, hold on and don't let go.
Thank a for reading
