10 ATTITUDES OF GLOBAL WALL BUILDERS (Part 1)
Walls serve as defence. They also represent dignity and glory.Mighty cities in those days had gigantic walls as the signature of their greatness. Fallen walls,on the other hand,are synonymous to reproach,indignity and shame.
Our societal walls today are fallen and the whole world sincerely desires wall builders to help rebuild the fallen walls in honour,service and dominion.Wall builders are indeed of great demand in our families,corporate institutions and government.
Today we share 10 great attitudes that will make you the wall builder of your generation.
•ATTITUDE1:CONCERN
The world is crowded with 'I' people.Persons that think of nothing else but themselves. Despite dwelling in faraway land,the man Nehemiah was filled with concern for Isreal and her fallen walls.What is your attitude towards the menace in your society?
•ATTITUDE 2:FORESIGHT
One key reason for the gross embezzlement and corruption evident in our society is failure on the part of men to see beyond their nose.We must learn to think through carefully before we act.Today we blame our fathers for the socio-politico-economic situation we are currently going through but the question remains:With our current attitude,what is the hope of our children unborn?
•ATTITUDE 3:CLEAR DECISION
Wall builders are definite in their approach. They know what they want and they go for it.I hear students and young graduates say,"I want to work in oil campany,Bank,etc".I always wonder,"What will you be doing in the oil company? What do you have to offer?" If we must be the wall builders our generation sought for,we must be definite.We decided that we will be a human capacity and community development organisation and we are on it.We have failed many times but we never quit!
•ATTITUDE 4:COURAGE
Wall builders are men of courage.In the words of Nehemiah,"And I said,Should such a man as I flee?And who is there,that,being as I am,would go into the temple to save his life?I will not go in"(Nehemiah6:11).Corruption,suicide,cultism and other social abnormalities are all birthed and groomed in cowardice. Go head on with those challenges and emerge a conqueror.
•ATTITUDE 5: PRAYER
Except the Lord builds,they that build,build in vain.We have thrown away God in our social life and so we are overwhelmed by the crisis.There is a call to connect back to the spiritual.When mortality connects to divinity,success is indeed an assured reality.Jesus Christ is indeed the answer for the world today and beside him there is no other!(To be Contd.)
