So many things were wrong!

So many things were wrong!

As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.

---Clarence Darrow

“It is the eternal struggle between these two principles - right and wrong. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time and will ever continue to struggle. It is the same spirit that says, "You work and toil and earn bread, and I'll eat it."”

---Abraham Lincoln

“That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end”

---Lise Hand

Before the kick-start of life on Earth, so many things were wrong, God right them. Checking through my bible, there is a particular portion which I have read many times but it never occurred to me what in this verses God wanted man to see and understand. Let’s quickly look at this wonder portion of the bible “Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was^[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters”, the following verses in Genesis talked about the steps and actions God put to play to right the wrongs that existed before the beginning of Life on Earth.

The earth was formless, empty and darkness was everywhere. I want you to cast your mind to that time and imagine how the picture of the then would be, i assume you would say this is absolutely terrifying. Something similar to this is like a small dark room with cracked walls, empty with a swampy floor; life for man in such condition will be very horrible and frustrating. This is what God saw and He immediately took care of, because He knew the earth is a would-be abode for man whom He created in His own image and likeness.

If you look through the history of creation, it was accounted that God created the light which He separated from darkness, He made the land to appear and gathered the water to a spot, He filled the earth with vegetation and animals, and finally the super YOU to continue in setting wrong right. He pronounce to man to subdue the earth, this is why you have to take dominion over your situations and not otherwise because you carry God’s DNA.

Something proves the need for you to take charge and right the wrongs around you and in you. Don’t forget that darkness was not chased out totally in the creation of the earth, a need for man to put light wherever darkness choose to be. Right now, i do not want you to focus on the light we get through electricity but the light within you which is required to chase out the darkness that has clouded your inner man. You have may had so many things that trouble your inner man which you have struggled with for almost the entire time of your life until now. Individually the list of things man struggles with differs, few of the wrongs you may have found in your life and willing to right might be among the few i will mention, some of these are anger, dishonesty, envy, greed, selfishness, deceit, low self-esteem, fear, pride, covetousness, hatred, laziness, and many more, take deep search into your life, i am so sure you have got your own sincere list of this wrongs you have contended with for a very good part of your life.

Writing out this things you struggle with, is not to remind you of your pain or the darkness that overshadowed your inner man, it is for you to be more aware of the vices that militates against you having a fullness of life and struck them out one after the other. A decision to overcome these wrongs will give you the energy and weapon to have a flawless victory of it, the most interesting thing about life is that, there has never been an invincible wrong that cannot be made right. It wouldn't cost you so much to be truthful if you had been a deceitful person, you wouldn't die if you choose to love people you have nurtured hatred for, it’s tough to starve your low self-esteem but your life will only experience more happiness and fruitfulness when you project a better image of yourself, it is a matter of making a quick decision and promise yourself that you will not let such things overwhelm you anymore, doing this is a ticket to a life of fulfillment and happiness in abundance.

One solid truth is this, till the time when the sun will stop shine, the moon will fail to glow and the life on earth would cease to be, wrong doings will continue to be as long as we fail to rebel against it. Wrong things in your life is ready to outlive you, and this is what i mean, when you are no more, your deeds when you were alive will speak on for you when you are dead. It is distasteful to pass away from the face of the earth, and the records in your biography states you to be a looser because you have a low self-esteem and lived a low life projecting yourself a looser, it is painful thing to exit the world and the picture of people about you is a man that has no truth in him but guile, how disheartening would it be for you to lock so many people in your heart having so much hatred in you for somebody till death. It is not a profitable thing to live your whole life in fear just because you are not ready to confront the things that humiliate you and militate against you.

I want to urge you to take after God, who saw the wrongs and set them right, He turned a formless earth to a one with form, He saw darkness and said let there be light, He saw emptiness and filled it with wonderful creatures, and finally He placed you here to continue the good deeds. You are here to turn every unturned stone that needed to be turned, there were so many things that were wrong before the inception of life on earth, the master of the universe set them, it is your purpose here on earth too, to set every wrongs you see right.

Stay blessed and enjoy a happy and fulfilled life in abundance as you set the wrongs in you and around you right!

God Loves ♥ You
