THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE HELP OF MAN.

When I saw this picture two things came to my mind.

1. First God can make a way in midst of any situation.

When all hope was lost God made a way for the birds to escape the flood.
If God can do this for ordinary animals that he just spake and they came into existence then how much more we that were created in his own image, he could go extra miles for us. An example of his love for us is sending his only begotten son to come and die for you and me.

You know most times we put ourselves into tight corners by doing what God ask us not to do but even in the midst of such situation and our stubbornness being displayed he is ever ready and he can still pull us out from the dying situation and rescue us most times, from the pain we would have passed through. He is indeed a Father.

2. Secondly the message I got from this picture is that the we need each other to survive, whether you are white in complexion or dark, whether you are an American, Chinese, Nigerian, Africans, etc we need not push each other down with the words of our mouth, we need each other to survive, remember there is a saying that goes thus No man is an island, you cant survive on planet earth alone, you need me to survive and I need you to survive.

We can see from the picture that the birds are of different colours. One is black in colour and the other is white or you may as well say fair and dark in complexion as the case may be.

I wouldn't know who helped who because I wasn't there at the scene, whether the black bird helped the white or vise versa but the most important thing is that they are both on the floating device.

Help someone to survive today, help that sick person, help that girl through school without asking for her body to lie with, help, help and help whether they are your brothers, sisters, church members, family members, colleague or not, whether they are Nigerians, Africans, Americans, etc, just help.
You don't know where you will find yourself tomorrow, they say one good turn deserves another

You know what the Bible says in Galatians 6:9

Msg:- So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit.

So my beloved in Christ do not feel tired of doing good to that African brother in your church, or Chinese sister at your work place.
We were all made in the likeness and image of God.

Again he Bible says in Philippians 2:3-4

Msg:-

3.Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead.

4.Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.

Again do not try to pull that Yoruba lady in your office down by lying against her to earn love from your boss.
Don't try to sweet talk your self to the top, give that Igbo man space to also experience what it is to be an Assistant account general.
My beloved in Christ do not try to talk your way to the heart of your choir Director to choose you, to lead in praise in that convention, allow the other upcoming chorister experience what it is to be a lead singer.

Remember we all created by God, Whether you are from Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ibibio, Cross-riverian, Chinese, Africans, Americans, Philippines etc what ever we are, just know that we are all made in the image of God.
