Poor People

Leviticus 23:22 according to the message says: When you reap the har­vest of your land, don't reap the corners of your field or gath­er the gleanings. Leave them for the poor and the for­eigners. I am God, your God."

There would always be poor people among us. Its nature. We can't remove them. But we can help them.

Some months back, I was talking to a group of teenagers, I asked them who can we call poor?. One said 'anyone who looks like a skrep' (he was the group's joker), another said 'someone who dresses badly, like when their clothes are torn' (kanye do you hear that? Lol), another said 'someone who doesn't have money'.. And some others I can't remember right now. They may not be hundred percent right.. But there are some factors about poor people that they mentioned.

I know part of the five alms of Islam is to give to the poor. We shouldn't leave that task for them alone.. Everyone should pitch in; whatever religion you practice. It should be a humanistic effort.

Chris Travis said 'it sounds preposterous, but its true Jesus left us to do his work when He went to Heaven. You and me, with all of our foolishness and sin.

Don't just do good to only people you know. Some excuses might be 'I don't have money', poor people don't need ONLY money.(totally agree money is a very huge factor by the way) Funny thing is that there's something deposited in everyone of us. Yours might be money, another person's might be a smile, or knowledge, or clothing. Anything. Just give.

P.S: Be thankful you have something to give. 😉

With love, the InspiredCutiee 😘

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel...

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I ...

Part 1

By
In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can...
