No matter what you do in life, life must go on. And all of us have come from different schools of thought. Different nationalities, tribes, race and of course, we have different cultures.
But, my own philosophy in life is that, regardless of tribe or nationality.
I always try to be myself and always say to people that "just be your self"!
In life, I don't normally talk of class and style, because, I want to believe that most of our problems emanated by the way we think and do things in life.
For example, whether you are a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, a scientist or a politician, you have solutions to problems, be you white or black.
Whether you are in Africa, Europe, Asia, America and Australia and other parts of the world.
SUBJECT: But King, I want to ask, why is it that you say solutions are made for problems?
KING: The answer is simple. For the fact that, whether you find problems in your society so difficult to address to, there must be a way out.
Now, let us take or look at things that are basics in life for example: food, clothing, shelter.
These are basics you need to address. You need a house.
Therefore, you have to build your house with water, cement and stone.
Therefore, without those components you can't build your house.
So you see: we all know that, the definition for matter is that, "it can easily occupy space, because matter has weight. Without those components you can't boast of shelter. Mind you, the word "problem", is part of life. Without problems in life, I will then class everything in life as nothing.
SUBJECT: Why?
KING: I like the way you ask questions, because you want to learn. Now, you first of all want to know why there are problems in the world today.
Well, since Adam and Eve lost the blessings of everlasting life in Paradise, man started to have problems.
I will ask that you turn to the Bible book of Genesis 3: 6-20 and read it, and then you will see, why we face problems here and there: but King is there any solution to our problems?
(1) We have political and economic problems.
(2) Social problems in our geo-political settings around the world.
(3) Moral decline, love lust, I must say that, most of those problems, are just not easy to save.
KING: They can be solved, but not at this age or generation, because we see that the different government and nations are trying to solve some of these problems.
SUBJECT: Like how?
KING: Like for example, the police force, we also see the "ACC"
SUBJECT: I agree, but I want to ask; how effective is the ACC and the judiciary?
How effective is the country's "Attitudinal Change" Agenda? I have a lot of questions to ask you, both nationally and internationally.
SUBJECT: Are you trying to say that we are responsible for our problems?
KING: Yes we are.
SUBJECT: Why do you say that?
KING: According to Biblical history, there was a time when the children of Israel requested for kindly leadership and rejected "Jehovah God" as their leader. But God did not reject them.
God gave them, SAUL as their king not until when the king David of old. So you see, that was the time when we started facing problems all over the world.
SUBJECT: Ok; are you now trying to tell me, that the Almighty God is the best and all "democratic"! KING: Yes: "No more, No less".
He is the King of all Kings: the Alpha and Omega: the beginning and the ending there is no other king like him.
SUBJECT: We will one day make you a pastor! However, I heard that the king has an heir whose promise is the last bastion of hope to the solutions of our problems.
KING: Is that so? And who is that one?
SUBJECT: They predicted to us that "Jesus Christ" is the only heir.
KING: I always attend Christian churches, they always tell us; that Jesus will soon come.
SUBJECT: But the point is when is he going to come? And time is running out with problems. We hear of rumours of wars, nations rising against nations, food shortages, pestilence, famine and the earth is polluted with corrupt practices. The world is presently upside down, so to speak. May the good Lord save us "Amen"?
LORD: I am one of the king's Lords and this man by my side is one of the king's knights. We over-heard you discussing that is why, we decided to make such extemporaneous intrusion.
SUBJECT: Oh. You lord and knight of the king! You like to be "bookish"! Any way that is why professor Okonko, left a purse for me, before he went back to Nigeria.
LORD: What was in that purse? Was it money: how much was in that purse tell me.
SUBJECT: It was nothing like money, but something very interesting, but important to note.
LORD: What was it?
SUBJECT: He told me in camera, that I must make reading become my best friend! That is why, I don't find problem talking to you, even with the king himself, the Lords and the knights.
LORD and KNIGHT: That's a very big and a good purse for you. Make sure you give some to students going to school and even others.
However, that is just a joke. Let us say some thing on a very serious note.
SUBJECT: the conversation was between me and the king. What is your question?
LORD: How soon will Jesus come, because I read in the Bible book of Revelation, that God is going to destroy the world, of this bad system of things, before the end comes.
Then, Christ will come again. But again, some people are skeptical about the time. When then, do we expect the Armageddon to strike? SUBJECT: Jesus Christ himself said in the Bible book of Matthew that no one knows the day nor the hour, only God the father knows. Even he Christ himself doesn't know.
LORD: Now explain to us. You are trying to tell us that Jesus is the only solution to our problems.
SUBJECT: How?? I will now tell you.
LORD: Go-ahead: say it now.
SUBJECT: Now that is going to be the time when death will be no more, no mourning, no out cry nor will there be pain, sickness, greed, hatred, war and all ill vices any more.
LORD: Is that so?
SUBJECT: Yes, we will start to live a meaningful life on earth.
Then you will start to enjoy from a proper and genuine government with good governance in power. Let us examine just a few of them.
Culled from WATCH TOWER magazine "July 1st 2011. Sub-heading, a meaningful life now and forever.
KING: But
SUBJECT: Why do you decide to refer to that article?
SUBJECT: It is because; I want to do justice to my conscience as I compile this issue for publication.
KING, LORD, KNIGHT: Go-ahead. Tell us and for the benefit of our readers.
SUBJECT: Now, if we want to talk of "attitudinal Change".
Let us first of all start to examine ourselves as we take a look at these points and ask ourselves questions, as to whether we will survive the coming tribulation and enjoy meaningful life.
If we want to, we must follow the sound principles found in God's word, the Bible; for example king Solomon of old in the Bible, wrote: "There is nothing better, than that of a man" should eat and indeed drink and cause his soul to see good because of his hard work - Ecclesiastes: 2"24.
This means that say we find satisfaction in wholesome work.
Even in dire of circumstances, you can enjoy a meaningful measure of satisfaction in life right now from working diligently and honestly. That is just one aspect.
(2) In God's kingdom, people find happiness in giving than there is in receiving. Proverbs-3:27 and Acts - 20:35. "A true companion is loving all the time and is a brother that is born for when there is distress" Proverbs - 17:17.
People will gain when they find happiness in their spiritual needs. Matthew - 4:3. These are just few hints of want you can find in that solution.
LORD and KNIGHT: All what you have said to us is just spiritual food and it went down well! But at the moment, before the coming of Christ, what are the solutions to our problems? Because the problems in this world are too much?
SUBJECT: Well, if I should answer your question, I will say, like in the game of chess or draught, musical chair in the game of sport, there must be solutions. So also with political leaders in the world.
All I can say to you is that; let us change our attitude for the better! That is the bottom line to the answer.
KING: Thank you my subject.
The next time, make sure you come with one of the peasants in my kingdom. Thank you. However, we are now four (4) in number, including you. Please leave us with some wise words:
SUBJECT: In the facet of life, there are solutions to problems of cause, it is true that every "road" has it turning point. Therefore, the subjects always pray for the "king to get a good heir to succeed".
