WHY WE GET INTO TROUBLE

Note:
1. This is why many ladies fall cheap, and sometimes into trouble.
2. It's why most persons become criminals.
3. It's why most persons compromise.
4. It's why many Africans die in the Libyan coast in an attempt to cross into Europe.

Some years ago, during the 'Blackberry' era, I watched a young girl suffer what is arguably the most embarrassing type of sexual abuse. She was stripped naked in the streets of Emene (Enugu state). Every man who cared to had the leverage to thrust his fingers into her vagina for as long as he wanted, and play with her breasts regardless of the technique chosen. I watched her cry in pain and utter embarrassment. I couldn't deal with the pain of watching that on social media, and sincerely, I was tormented by it's memory. Rumours were that she committed suicide afterwards. All for what? Because she stole a blackberry phone at 'Fine Brothers'.

She had a Nokia phone, and she could make calls, text and 2go with it. So what could have gotten her to that point? It's simple, she lacked 'contentment'. She wanted to live beyond her means and outgrow her status prematurely, therefore she also had to become the scapegoat. Lack of contentment introduces desperation into your life and eventually makes you very vulnerable.

So why do most ladies fall cheap and into trouble? If a man discovers your biggest problem is a smartphone or going shopping, he will get it for you. You then become indebted, then vulnerable, then cheap, and eventually he can do anything he wants with you.

Why do most persons compromise or become criminals? It's because they ain't satisfied with their level, they become desperate to get rich/promoted quick and by implication compromise. Forget suffering, too many persons are in penury yet still decent. It's a lack of contentment. Contentment is a virtue you must Consciously cultivate.

HOW TO ACQUIRE CONTENTMENT

1. UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS IN PHASES: A poor man today can be rich tomorrow, an ordinary WAEC holder today can be president tomorrow, an insignificant man today can be famous tomorrow etc. Simply put, what you can't afford today, you can afford tomorrow. That's why the Holy Bible admonishes, "do not despise the days of your little beginning." Be thankful for where you are now and he hopeful about tomorrow.

2. UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT TIMING: maybe that's why many believe in predestination, however, one fact about life is that we can't all blossom at the same time. Some become billionaires in their twenties, some in their thirties and others in their fifties. Don't let someone else's timing intimidate you. When life reminds you how many people are ahead of you, reply "my time is coming, and soon."

3. GET A JOB/ ACQUIRE A SKILL/ PURSUE A VISION: Idleness or joblessness makes contentment a luxury. There is something about having a job (no matter how little), developing a skill or pursuing a vision - it gives you hope that tomorrow will be better. It also keeps you focused and busy enough to not brood over your terrible situation. Having a vision also gives you beautiful imaginations of your future. Don't expect magic when there is no platform to attract your miracle. Avoid idleness.

4. AVOID POISONOUS PEOPLE: Don't stay around people who are desperate or people who deliberately and constantly try to intimidate you. Most persons lost it when they met that person or group of persons. Stay around hardworking and realistic people, it will help you.

5. KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT: contentment is a virtue of the Holy Spirit. He has the ability to keep you in check even during times of frustration. He has a way of giving you inner peace whilst firing up hope and faith in you. He reminds you that nothing is worth your virtues and soul. The Holy Spirit works out satisfaction in you, and emboldens you to walk your way into success. Everything above may fail you but He doesn't fail.

IF YOU NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP YOU, SAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME:
Lord Jesus, come into my life. I repent of my sins. Thank you for paying for my sins. Thank you for suffering lack that I might be prosperous. Today, I accept you as my lord and personal saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Thank you for I am born again.

SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
