Reality of Human Differences

Reality of Human Differences
by Olaniyi Isaac Omibeku

Humans are like words and opposites. The difference between individual is a key determinant of the future of individuals. Our differentials are the silent pointers to our secret choices.

Two kinds of people on earth are found in families, offices, businesses, churches... Name it. They are everywhere.

They may be born as twins formed from the same spermatozoan, carried in the same womb, born on the same day, nourished by the same breast, raised under the same roof, exposed to the same privileges if they choose differently, their lives and future cannot be the same. That is the premise on which human difference is based.

Let me be truthful to you dear reader, you belong to one of two kinds of people and where you belong is determined by your secret choices.
Jesus talked to the people of his days something I strongly believe is still very relevant to us in the twenty-first century, He said, not everyone that call me Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of God but those that DO the will of my father in heaven. Many people say so many lovely things but acts differently. It is in the doing. What we do is our CHOICE and that will determine our final outcome in life and destiny.

The two different people operate:
Two different systems
Two different choices
Two different attitudes
Two different characters
Two different mentality

Marks of the Differences

1. While one choose and live for Immediate satisfaction the other choose to live for future satisfaction. Esau and Jacob are good examples.

2. While one earn and spent all, the other chooses to earn and keep seeds.

3. One gets it and eat it- no reserve for after-now, the other gets it, eat some and keep some.

4. One is myopic-no future consciousness but the other chose differently to be very insightful-future conscious.

5. One chooses to live for today's pleasure even if it means tomorrow's pains but the other chose today's pains for tomorrow's pleasures. Jacob did exactly that. Daniel, his friends among others in the University of Babylon are good examples.

6. In life, there are gold diggers and on other side are the gold refiners. While one does not process but only takes advantage of others the other chooses not to but processes the relationship for betterment of the future.

7. On one side is the consumers group while on the other side is the producers group.

8. While one has no stake in other people's lives, no investment, no impact in anyone's live and in themselves, the other has chosen to invest both in himself and others. They are impact makers. Seven men were chosen as Deacons in the first church but only Stephen and Philip can be remembered for their impact in their world. Who will strain his brain to remember the life of David with his encounter with Goliath? Quickly name his brothers who dare not get close to the battle line. Hardly will you be able to remember two of them.

9. On one side, you will find the relationship Breakers while on the other are relationship keepers. When there is conflict we are always reminded that relationship is always a thing to help protect. We live to relate with others. Judas Iscariot gave Jesus away for money. Peter was still near for Jesus to still turn to him after denying him thrice where were the others? Far away in their mothers' bedrooms.

10. Here is a do-it-alone and take the-credit-alone workaholic while on the other side is the smarter who would 'never' do it alone but with a high sense of partnership, sharing the credits with all as he partners with the best.

(For further study check the lives of these people Jacob and Esau; Joseph and his brothers; Cain and Abel; Timothy and Demas; Judas Iscariots and other disciples; David and Saul; Nehemiah and Sanballat; Esther and Vashti; Hamman and Mordecai)

The Question to ponder on are:
1. Where are you on that scale of human difference?
2. What are you doing to be the right person you are meant to be?
3. What type of person are you choosing to be?

We can scrutinize our SECRET CHOICES now that there is time. It is not too late to turn a new leave.

I have been on the wrong side of the difference before but not anymore. Have you been too? Let's know in your comments

The Kingdom of Darkness Can't Understand You

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.  John 1:5" Devotion:  The opening scripture above refers to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the light of heaven and earth who came into the world: when He landed on earth, satan and his kingdom of darkness could not understand Him, because He shone beyond their comprehension. The life of Jesus Christ on earth was characterized by mighty signs, wonders, authority, and power. He was fully in control of all things; had He not come to die to redeem us from our sins, He would not have died on the cross. Glory to the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ that He has made us just like Himself. We are the light of the world and the kingdom of darkness cannot comprehend us, Matthew 5:14-16. As a Christian, you should distinguish yourself from those in the world so that you can so shine better and better every day. When you want to shine, shine Christ Jesus to your sphere of contact; it is the only w...

Reality of Peace

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27" Devotion : There are two kinds of peace: the worldly kind of peace and the Jesus Christ kind of peace. The worldly kind of peace does not solve the troubled heart of a child of God. This is so because the child of God has been born into a different family, that is, the family of heaven, and worldly peace cannot appease heaven. Another reason is that worldly peace is limited and outward but the heavenly peace/Jesus kind of peace is limitless and works from within before showing on the outside. It is the only solution to overcome fear, which fights us from the external forces of darkness. Dearly beloved, if you have Jesus Christ in your life you have this special kind of peace to overcome anxiety, fear, and a troubled heart. Hallelujah! It gives you the opportunity and privilege to soar higher in life, like the eagl...

Reality of Cultural Havocs on Marriage and Families

Reality of Cultural Havocs on Marriages and Families By: Olaniyi Isaac, Omibeku ( PIO ) It was Chris McGold who defined culture as a line any group draws that separates the behaviours they advocate and tolerate from the behaviours they refuse to tolerate. I agree with that. The lines between the acceptable ways of life and those that are not acceptable are visibly printed everywhere. Culture is real however, at the same time it is dynamic. It changes from time to time unannounced and unpremeditated. The dynamism of culture informs the emergence of cultural drift and cultural shift in most part of the world today. Today, we talk of communication culture; educational culture; economic culture, financial culture; spiritual culture; entertainment culture; dressing and fashion culture; spiritual culture. My interest is centred on marital and family culture. Default and Intentional Culture There is a trend in the permissive nature many people approach have towards cultural change. Whe...
