OBSERVATION: THE BEST TEACHER

There is a common saying which states: “Experience is the best teacher”but I have come to analyse this saying in terms of negativity, bad or displeasing situation and consequences. After analysing this I arrived at this conclusion…. I would rather say it is better to say “Observation is my best teacher or Observation is the best teacher” in terms of negativity or displeasing situation.

Some of you might wonder why I say Observation should be the best teacher but before I proceed,
let me ask you this question…. Do you want the consequence of your immoral or negative character come upon you before you learn your lesson?

A Yoruba proverb says “Ogbon Ologbon la fi n sogbon meaning ” One man experience is a lesson to another.

My fellow readers, Do you want the consequence of your immoral or negative character take verdict upon you before you learn your lesson? If your answer is NO. Make haste to CHANGE. Observe and look at the aftermath of people who have thread on the way of deceit, evil and immoral act. Look, Observe their aftermath and LEARN YOUR LESSON.

Can I really do all things through Christ?

You can do all things through Christ who strengthen you but you have to endure something...

Can I really do all things through Christ? 

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me" Philippians 4:13
    
 Most of us use the quoted verse above to tackle life challenges but in the same vein we misuse it. 
    I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me is a verse that draws up courage and motivation. 

We misuse this verse base on the fact that if Jesus can do anything,  I can also do anything through him. For instance, we think in this sense:
- If I have Jesus there is no way I will not pass that exam
- If I have Jesus there is no way I will not get that promotion at work.
- If I have Jesus I can beat that record or break that jinx. 
- If I have Jesus I can be successful in all endeavors? 
All these are great and these mentality has what is greater than that. The Scripture says "we are more than conquers"

BUT! 
What if you are not successful in all your endeavors? 
What if you failed in that examination or anything? 
What if you don't get that promotion?
  
You know that there are times when no matter what you do, circumstances and disappointment sets in.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me is not about success at all because circumstances and disappointment may set in.  And when disappointment and circumstances set in "LET US ENDURE ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT STRENGTHEN US WITH THE HOPE AND BELIEF THAT WE SHALL OVERCOME AND SUCCEED THROUGH THE STRENGTH COMING FROM CHRIST.
