THE REAL YOU

Friday 22-Nov-2019, 2:37PM / 1798

I have decided to review this, it is from one of my write-ups in 2017 which address the current issues in the nation.

Is your physical appearance the REAL you? I beg to disagree, look at that man on the street in a tattered dress without shoe, you can as well believe that he is a mad man as everyone would think, but becareful, he may be doing that on purpose, examples of these are not far fetched in our environment.

What if I decide to put on a white garment and walk on the street barefooted? Majority will assume that I am a member of Celestial Church of Christ but is that the real me? I may be doing that on purpose.

What if that herbalist or an atheist decide to grow bears, put on jalabiah and an ankle-length trousers, I guess majority will also assume that he is a Muslim or a Tabliq but is that the real him? That appearance may also be deceptive.

Is everyone in suit and tie, rushing out in the morning a civil servant? The answer is NO, I have a carpenter friend who dresses better than Directors.

WHO IS THE REAL YOU?
The real you is obviously not your physical appearance but that THING in you that DIRECTS and tells you what to do.

The real you is your REASONING
The real you is your CHARACTER
The real you is your RELATIONSHIP with others
The real you is your KNOWLEDGE

It is pathetic that we now live in a world where people are judged according to their appearance (esp. dress) which in most cases could be deceptive. Although it is a known fact that there is a limit to the extent at which our physical appearance can deceive people, sooner or later they will find out whom we truly are.

You can wear the best dress to attend an interview, that will only earn you two to three marks, but the real you will earn you the job and sustain you on the job. If you have experienced a situation where people suddenly withdrew from you, it might be that you have successfully deceived them to be with you in the first place. BE REAL

NOTE:
CLOTHING only covers NAKEDNESS
PHYSIQUE only proves BEAUTY

BUT

REASONING justifies DIGNITY
CHARACTER tells who you ATTRACT
RELATIONSHIP with others shows INTELLIGENCE
KNOWLEDGE you acquired determines your INDEPENDENCE

It is on this note that I wish to say that we should always look before we leap, though all golds glitter, all that glitters is not gold. It will be fool of anyone to judge a book by the cover because the content determines the quality.

Before you go out with that friend.     -  KNOW HIM
Before you believe that religion leader  - EXAMINE HIM
Before you vote for that leader - TEST HIM
Before you take that post on social media serious - KNOW THE SOURCE, VERIFY AND DIGEST.

Note: violence is not devil's work, it is the consequence of our gullibility where we take everything, especially on social media, hook, line and sinker. Example is the recent xenophobic attack in South Africa where videos and photos went viral on social media, whereas, they were not related to the current situation.

Be peaceful, let peace reign in your society, be an agent of peace. Do not promote unverified information, be cautious and BE REAL.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Comment: I am a very happy woman with the help of Dr Krish Spiritual who helped me restore my relationship with my ex husband. My name is Agnes Smith and I am from Alaska, USA. I met Dr Krish Spiritual through a testimony online and I never thought I would have my ex husband back after 4 years of separation. After my contact with his email, he told me not to worry and I would really be happy as I am now. Trusting in his words was the right decision for me. After 2 days, my ex husband called me saying that he wants to return back to me and live with me forever and I was very shocked. This made me believe that Dr Krish is really a very great spiritual man. Today, I am very happy to write this testimony about him and want others to testify to his power as I am currently happy in my restored marriage. Contact Dr Krish Spiritual directly through his email at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com to help you solve that relationship problems in your marriage.

Comment: I want to use this opportunity to share the good works of Dr. Odunga who brought my husband back to me from another woman in 2 days. His email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp contact is +2348167159012. The day my husband left me, things appeared bleak, and the atmosphere was heavy with uncertainties. Everything seemed pale and so I decided to look for help in spell casters who have the capability to bring my ex husband back to me. As envisaged, I went on the internet and as you too have seen in your search for a reliable spell caster, I saw a lot of testimonies of spell casters in the recovery of ex husbands and loved ones. Driven by belief in Doctor Odunga, I contacted him and after explaining things to him, he accepted to face the challenges on ground. He did brilliantly well. My ex husband came back to me within 2 days of contact with more care and affection and promised never to leave me. I will therefore like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to him and share this testimony to enable others in need to contact him for his selfless service to situations and problems. Commendable, he shows great courage at taking on the daunting task of finding solutions to practically any given problem. Contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and I believe he will help you as he did to me..

Comment: With so much in my heart I am here to express myself on how Priest Salami saved my marriage from divorce. Myself and my husband were having some misunderstanding and it was tearing our marriage apart to the extent my husband was seeking a divorce. So I have no option other than to go to the internet to seek a solution to my problem. It was there I came across Priest Salami details and about how he has helped a lot of people by restoring their relationship. I contacted Priest Salami and in less than 48 hours my husband cancelled the divorce papers. Now myself and my husband live together in peace and harmony all thanks to Priest Salami for saving my marriage from breaking up. Priest Salami contact information are via email: purenaturalhealer@gmail.com. Whatsapp number: +2348143757229.

Comment: My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can't hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail.
