| Hey beloved, welcome to this moment of excitement. This blog post was written to inspire you on the benefits of talent required for the purpose of adequate preparation and how to scale through the hurdles along the way while you carry out certain activities. The parable of Ten (10) Virgins (Matthew; chapter 25) was given on an occasion when Jesus Christ was spreading the good news of God’s kingdom according to the holy Bible. Though, it was given as a parable, yet it reflects on issues of life. After all, it revolve around similar encounters in out physical world. In today’s context, people exist who know what they want, but fail to understand the actual requirements in order to accomplish their proposals / purposes. Those in this category have limited perception regarding the inevitable influences of time and other environmental factors on human activities. They lack know-how concerning the correlation of issues that connect intents and the determinants of events. As a result, their prompting usually contradict some natural laws and principles. The watch words they normally use among others include; ‘any how’, ‘opportunity comes but ones’, ‘game of chance’… They don’t believe in integrity or good works, And show no regards for the implications of their faults and mistakes. However, there is need to be committed purposefully, in order to maximize output having made reasonable impute in one way or the other. According to that parable as stipulated in the holy Bible, five (5) among the ten expecting their bridegrooms had no idea on the actual requirements of time. They were said to be ‘foolish’. They knew not what to do peradventure night falls. The focal point here is on the benefits of preparation. It was said that they had no oil to use when it was already very late. Now, what does oil connote in this context? And we can as well look into the actual denotation of light. If this illustration was restricted to love relationship, then someone might put into consideration the whole resourceful attributes likely to complement natural endowments in order to fulfill the essence of the relationship. Unfortunately, not necessarily everyone cares about the purpose of affair. Just as this parable stated that five (5) were wise while the rest were fools. And the foolish ones do not care about their actual responsibilities or predicaments as the case may be. They often give priority attention to the things that matters to them unlike been committed to the actual purpose of the relationship. Yes, think about the real life situation in today’s world and you might see relationships failing because of shift in the point of emphasis. Most times some people don’t attach importance to the actual purpose of their commitment. They rather ignore their roles, believing that anyone in love with them or in relationship with them must do this and that for them and at the end of the day, they abuse everything. And they scarcely show concern for the plight of the claimed beloved. Maybe you have observed that both the educated and uneducated folks face similar challenges in recent times. Today, both the great and small people embattled broken relationship and marriage. In fact, only few people were able to scale through the hurdles along the way, thereby making it up to holy matrimony or successful marriage. What could be responsible for this menace of humanity in recent times? Funny enough, some leaders of thought, rather than proffering solution to the challenges in this essential aspect of life, want to justify some deeds according to their interest Can anyone save this situation? And who can pledge the rejuvenation or revitalization of the dignity in family life? How can the hope of many be possibly restored in this regard? Of course, proper attention in this respect could set pace for real character reformation most likely to engender lesser insecurity in the wider human. Yes, this is possible because the family is the primary place to nurture characters. Don’t you think there have been missing link between certain norms in this regard and the trend of civilization? However, everyone originally, ought to reverence some laws or rules linked to who they are. And the mark of identity whether in the religious line or from cultural background could be appraised for the benefit of wholesomeness in relation to guiding influences. What’s your opinion regarding the hyper increase in broken relationship and marriage in recent times? Does it conform to the foolishness as the case of the foolish virgins? And how can this challenge become a thing of the past, so that mankind might be more interested on fulfilled marriage life? Unlike the desires that negate the significance of wholesome indulgences, and the promptings of people could be redirected towards fulfillment in line with the purpose of holy matrimony. Hey beloved, do you have any question or contribution to the above subject matter? Please your contribution is important. Until we meet again, God bless you. |
