MERIT IT, DON?T BEG IT.
November 5, 2010 No Comments Deep in the atmosphere voices keep calling out for mercy, from church auditoriums to courtrooms, from the seat of government to the military barracks. Is it that people feel they can get away when they call for mercy or is a genuine situation that life presents that we have no options than to surrender and ask for help?There are so many schools of thoughts with regards to showing mercy when needed. The first school of thought says, when people get away or can beg their way through, it will automatically make them lazy and less productive. Can this be the situation most African countries and for that matter most third world countries find themselves in or it?s just nature?s owns way of creating cohesion?
Most third world countries will go begging instead of meriting it. They are of the view that the world is stocked with sympathy and it is so easy to drink from it. But far be it from the truth, mercy shown on this planet earth is intended for future gains by the person or group giving it. Why can?t we go with something in our hands in exchange of another value? We can?t blame God or any other person for our troubles, we are our own enemies.
Why are we begging for LOVE? Young man, merit it. Anything you beg for you can lose it anytime, but when it is given because you are worth it, you can be assured that it stays forever. Why don?t you upgrade yourself? Have we forgotten that it was said in the BIBLE that, you should study to show yourself approved?

?Receive your marriage? always gets the loudest shout in all church auditoriums from our female folks. The question then is, young woman, do you merit it or you are begging for it? A lot of our women concentrate on marriage so much that they forget that the men are also looking for them, but the problem is you must merit it, anytime a man marries you, not because you merit it, you are in a big problem. Can you keep a home, do you dress well, do you have patients and respect for somebody of your age coming to be your head, have you position yourself well to bring in some income to support him, the overview is a package question is, can you be considered as a marriageable material? Are you begging or you merit it.
Why are you so nervous in that interview, are you begging for that employment or you merit it. Can you be confident to press home your demands because you merit your demands? Why can?t you do personal upgrading of your abilities? If your employers see you as one of the many that can fill that position, without any exceptional qualities to keep you on the job. What different are you bringing on board?
Why do wait for four years before you will rush to construct some shoddy roads and electricity to win votes, am talking about the politicians. They go begging instead of meriting it.
Studying diligently will ensure your success, but some students will go begging or giving bribes for the same thing that can be gotten by merit.
Wherever you find yourself, in academia, religion, social life, business etc just merit, don?t beg it.
