SWAMP OR OCEAN? DON'T BE CONSTIPATED...



While some people are takers (beggars) and derive pleasure in that, I chose to be a giver. Those takers have been so configured that their default tone and tune is "I don't have shishi", "I am poor", etc, forgetting that the hand of the giver is always above, as givers never lack.

These takers are not necessarily so because they always lack, but because it is a culture for them.
Remember the poor widow in the bible who gave very little, yet gave the most. All those who got from God released something first and got much more than they gave in return. That is why it is said that it is more blessed to give than to receive.

Have you seen or can u imagine a toilet that has no outlet? Have you seen roads without drainages? Have u seen a dumpsite not incinerated? MESSY. Accumulation without release, leads to constipation, whatever takes in and in without some form of release might just end up bursting. No one in history has ever been recognized or honoured for being a taker, but givers are those who posterity remember.

In simpler terms whatever doesn't have an outlet leads to filth, stagnation & sometimes destruction. Even our bodies have outlets e.g nose for breathing in and OUT. Taking in air without letting out spells doom. Also, anyone who eats and eats without passing out the excess through feaces is in trouble.

It is a great privilege to be a givers my people. Why be a swamp (stagnant, dependent upon other natural waters like rivers, seas and mosquitoes breeding), when you can be an ocean (too large, flowing, source of other waters, integral to all known life, determinant of weather, unknown source, habitat for millions of creatures)? Be a channel, not a dam...
