Times Of Swaziland: PRACTISING WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE

PRACTISING WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE
================================================================================

Sir,
Tangibly, we have heard, seen and experienced all the labour signs signaling the
contiguity of the kingdom of God. When God sent Moses to deliver the Israelites,
He knew the impecuniousness they were subjected to in Egypt.
On spur of moment, He told Moses that their cries and sufferings had been heard.
Hence, it was a must that they be liberated.
This brings me to the acumen of the fact that even God, in heaven, was so humble
and rehearsed what was not susceptible to inflict anguish to others.
There are things we cannot just deal with overnight. But they need our time,
undivided focus and full dedication to nurture them to produce the desired
results.
Beautiful
Emphatically, familiarity is yet again to breed contempt to most citizens of
this beautiful kingdom. The things regarded profane, blasphemous and idolatrous
are now becoming natural and part of our norms and culture. Not only do people
break the law intentionally, but they have also loosened their attitude towards
real and sensitive issues.
Sir Winston Churchill, former British Prime Minister around the 1940s, once
said; “When there is no enemy from within, the enemy from outside cannot hurt
you.” By practising what’s exceptional, we are attracting positivity,
happiness and incredible results of our own actions from around us. This is real
and a huge relief.
Persistent
We must not expect people to do good things to us for us to act likewise to
them. Instead all the time we should be persistent in doing what will make
people not to frown on us.
Deluged by the atrocious effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, moral decay has
steadily accelerated. We cannot turn a blind eye and pretend otherwise about the
things that have adversely affected us.
The way we act on every situation speaks volumes not only about us, but everyone
around us as well. That’s why we must, by all means possible, try and
demonstrate great passion in everything we endeavour in.
There are quite a number of unsophisticated reasons why we should always
practice what is acceptable. First and foremost, God frowns upon wrongdoings.
Sodom and Gomorrah were totally demolished as a result of their lame deeds
before God. Would we be ecstatic if we bring these aforementioned places here in
the kingdom? God would really destroy us if we are not diligent enough.
Actually, He hates sin! For peace sake, we should also not cease doing what’s
good.
Worthless
Before not doing what’s good and acceptable sucks its vigour from us, let’s
make sure we promptly engage in what’s good. We cannot afford to be called
worthless, unheeding bunches of puppets just because we are unable to live
peaceful with one another. Let’s act now because tomorrow might be too late.
