Men only

 "Dear Men, work hard so that in your old age you have something for yourself , forget about the children and their mother! You are the only stranger in that family you call yours, that house is for your wife and kids ! My grandfather told me that a married man is like a tractor that builds a road, does it very nicely BUT when the road is completed , they bring a low loader and carry the tractor away claiming it will spoil the road!! That tractor is never allowed to step on the road it built ! Same case to a married man, you deny yourself , get loans , wear used clothes to see your children through high school and college because we believe that the only gift you can give your children is quality education cos there are no more shambas!! When the children hit teenage, now the Father is dispensable, most of these women poison the children against their father, language like "If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have studied, he was only interested in alcohol and women!! Now the tractor is about to be carried away!!! Once the children start working , mzee has retired and when the children come visiting the poor mzee is given two hundred infront of the mother , while the mother pulls them to the kitchen and the Father doesn't know what mama has been given! Once the children drive off, the mzee is told to buy sugar with the two hundred unless he wants to drink sugarless tea!! These are some of the reasons why men die early and leave widows behind suffering !! I have seen mothers fly abroad to visit their children while the mzee is left at home looking after their two cows, ever wondered why? That poison spread by mothers towards the mzee !! Dear men work hard and save something for yourself because nowadays aging without property is almost like a death sentence !!! Wake up struggle while you can before your old age." 

     FOR MEN ONLY

Integrity

Hey, It pays to build a name, the reward doesn't come quickly but it will come however long it may take and it lasts longer.


At the point of death, a renowned civil servant, Tom Smith called his children and after praying for them, advised them to follow his footsteps so that they can have their peace of mind in life.


The eldest child, Elizabeth, a graduate, looked at the other siblings and yelled, "Daddy, its unfortunate you are dying without a penny in your bank account. It is a pity you are leaving us the same wretched life you lived. Personally, I can't emulate you, she continued. Other fathers in the neighbourhood that you tag as being corrupt, thieves of public funds left houses and properties for their children.See the kind of comfortable life they live and the schools they attend.You are dying after 35 years of public service with just one rickety car. The only honour you have in this room is the citation of an award you won as the best Public Service Accountant when we were not even born.Even this house we live in is a rented apartment.Sorry,I can't emulate you.You are dying of a common disease and we can't even fly you outside the country like the others do.How can we cater for our mum and the little ones by living like you did in this part of the world.How? Daddy please let's chart our own course, let's paddle our own canoe"


Few days later, their father gave up the spirit.


Three years after, Elizabeth finished her Masters Degree. She applied for a job and went for an interview in a multinational company. 


The interview panel had already penciled down a candidate for the highly coveted post but wanted to complete the formality of interviewing all applicants on the list.


As soon as Elizabeth sat before the interview panel, the Chairman of the committee looked through her CV, nodded and asked, 


"Hi Miss Smith, tell us a bit about yourself" and   Elizabeth replied, "I am Elizabeth Smith. My Dad, the late Tom Smith was the Regional Head accountant of the National Insurance, and also served as Administrator of Public Health for many yesrs...." But the Chairman cuts in, Oh my God, you are the daughter of Mr Tom Smith? I can't believe it.He turned to other members and said "This Smith man was the one that signed my membership form into the Institute of Chartered Administrators when he served in our district in the North and his recommendation earned me where I am today. It was really difficult getting a man in such high office to do that during those years. You needed to be rich to get your form signed but the amazing thing is, he did all these free.I didn't even know his address,he never knew me from Adam.He just did it for me.I returned to his office after a year only to hear he was transferred. That was it and I never heard from him again. He turned to Elizabeth; "I have no question for you, consider yourself as having gotten this job, resume tomorrow, your letter will be waiting for you.For how your dad remained honest and served everyone with diligence, I trust you will follow his path in this job.


Elizabeth Smith became the Corporate Affairs Manager of the company with two cars, one official and one for private use, attached to the office, with a duplex and two drivers and a salary of £250,000 per month excluding allowances and other costs when she travels outside the country.


After two years of working in the company, the Group Managing Director of the company came from America to announce his intention to resign and needed a replacement. A personality with high integrity was sought after, again the company's Consultant nominated Elizabeth Smith.


In an interview, she was asked the secret of her success and the sudden sky rocketing profile.And in tears, she replied, my Daddy paved these ways for me.It was after he died that I knew that he was financially poor but fabulously rich in integrity, discipline and honesty. She was asked again, why she is weeping since she is no longer a kid as to miss her dad still after a long time. She replied, "At the point of death, I insulted my dad for being an honest man of integrity. I hope he will forgive me in his grave now.I didn't work for all these, he did it for me to just walk in.


So finally she was asked," Will you follow your father's foot steps as he requested? And her simple answer was, "l have already been doing that. I have met a number of people after his death and I haven't seen or heard anyone say a word against my dad's life in public service. I now adore the man, I have a big picture of him in my living room and my office. He deserves whatever I have after God.


Are you like Tom Smith?  It pays to build a name, the reward doesn't come quickly but it will come however long it may take and it lasts longer.


Integrity, discipline, self control and fear of God makes man wealthy, not the fat bank account, luxurious cars and mansions. Leave a good heritage for your children and the next generation. Are you building a good name for your children & or a fat bank account? Money fades, fame goes, cars get out of system but a good name stays on forever. 


As an agent of CHANGE, please share don't keep it  to youself; this is a true life story. God bless us all.

Ug. Police. Express Penalty Scheme for Road Offenders

“LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE HERE AND GO 

On Saturday as I was coming back from Entebbe where I had gone to attend the Uganda Law Society Annual General Meeting, I had the misfortune of taking the Station Road which has since been converted into a one way. It was only when I got to the end of the road that I saw the sign indicating no entrance. Well seeing as there was nowhere else to go, I joined the main road. Lo and behold a policeman came running towards my car, charged like a hungry lion, indicating that I should leave the line and park on the pavement, which I did. 


I knew I was in the wrong and so did not bother replying him when he went on and on about how I had broken the law. As if he had not just been alerted to it by their spies who stand in that corner acting as their collecting agents. Well I apologized and admitted that I was in the wrong and was ready to pay the penalty as set out by law. 


To my utter astonishment, the Policeman told me that I was required to park the vehicle right there by the roadside at their makeshift Police Post at Kitgum House and go and pay the fine first and then come back and retrieve the vehicle. He was probably hoping I would offer him a bribe like the gentleman I had just seen in the car in front of me. 


I told him that his order was ludicrous, illegal and out of the question. He insisted that he had a directive from his boss. At which point he allegedly called his boss whose phone was allegedly switched off. 


Well I told him the Traffic and Road Safety Act, 1998 and specifically the Traffic and Road Safety (Express Penalty Scheme for Road Offenders) Regulations, 2004 that provide for express and fixed penalties, give the offender a period of 28 days to pay the fine. Furthermore there is no requirement to leave the motor vehicle at the police station prior to payment of the fine. There is no one above the law and laws are not conveniently amended at the whims of policemen. To further prove my point, I asked him for the Penalty book and showed him the wording “PAYABLE WITHIN 28 DAYS AFTER THIS NOTICE”. 


At this point the enraged policeman could only look at me in anger. I stared right back at him and told him to give my ticket and I would pay the penalty later but leaving my vehicle behind was out of the question. He sighed and said “you can go!” and off I went. 


In a nutshell, get acquainted with the law and always stand firm and defend your rights against any goliath that thinks they are the law.

You are born a winner


Biology says that after sexual intercourse, about 200 to 300 million sperms are deposited by the man, they all begin to swim upwards within the track to meet with the ovum, out of the 200 million that are deposited only 300 to 500 actually reach the site (others get tired on the way because is not an easy race) and of the 300 that manage to reach the ovum (egg), only one fertilised the egg and in this case the winning one is YOU. 

   Have you ever thought about this? You ran a race without your eyes and your legs you WON, you ran a race without your education and you WON, you ran without certificate and you WON, you ran without help and you WON, what makes you think you will Lose now? 

  Now that you have both eyes and legs, now that you have the knowledge of God's word, now that you have plans, visions and dreams, beloved you didn't give up on day one, so you can't give up now, giving up now is an insult to your creator. 

  It doesn't matter what you see now, take it as a challenge and always remember that you WON from womb. 

  You will win this battle, against Covid 19 viral scare, and will surely come out victorious and unscathed.. share widely .. Stay safe ☝️

The good News, Jesus loves you

 The little boy put on his clothes for the cold and then told his father:


"Ok dad I'm ready"


His Dad, the pastor, said: "Ready for what?"


"Dad, it's time to go outside and distribute our flyers."


Dad replied: "Son, it's very cold outside and it's drizzling."


The child looked surprised at his father and said: "But dad, people need to know about God even on rainy days."


Dad replied, "Son, I'm not going outside in this weather."


With despair, the child said: "Dad, can I go alone? Please!"


His father waited for a moment and then said: "Son, you can go. Here's the flyers, be careful."


"Thank you dad!"


And with this, the son went out into the rain. The 11-Year-old walked all the streets of the village, handing out the flyers to the people he saw.


After 2 hours walking in the rain and cold and with his last flyer in his hand, he stopped at a corner to see if he saw someone to give the flyer to, but the streets were totally deserted. Then he turned to the first house he saw, walked to the front door, rang the bell several times and waited, but no one came out.


Finally the boy turned to leave... but something stopped him. The child turned back to the door and began to ring the bell and pound the door strongly with his knuckles. He kept waiting. Finally the door was opened gently.


A lady came out with a very sad look and gently asked:


"What can I do for you, son?

With radiant eyes and a bright smile the child said:


"Lady, I'm sorry if I upset you, but I just want to tell you that God really loves you and that I came to give you my last flyer, which talks about God and His great love.


The boy then gave her the flyer.


She just said, "Thank you, son, God bless you!"


Well, next Sunday morning, the pastor was in the pulpit and when the service began he asked:


"Does someone have a testimony or something they want to share?"


Gently, in the back row of the church, an older lady stood up. When she started talking, a radiant and glorious look sprouted from her eyes:


"Nobody in this church knows me. I have never been here, even last Sunday I was not Christian.


My husband died a while ago leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday was a particularly cold and rainy day, and it was also in my heart; that on that day I came to the end of the road, since I had no hope and didn't want to live anymore.


Then I took a chair and a rope and went up to the attic of my house. I tied a noose and the other end of the rope to the rafters of the roof; then I climbed onto the chair and put the rope around my neck.


I then stood on the chair, so alone and heartbroken, I was about to throw myself off the chair, when suddenly I heard the loud sound of the door being knocked.


So I thought: "I'll wait for a minute and whoever it is will go"


I waited and waited, but the door knocking was getting louder and louder every time. It got so loud that I couldn't ignore it anymore. 


So I wondered, who could it be?

No one ever comes close to my door or comes to visit me!

I released the rope from my neck and went to the door, while the bell was still ringing and the door was still being knocked on.


When I opened the door, I couldn't believe what my eyes saw, in front of my door was the most radiant and angelic child I've ever seen.

His smile, ohhh, I can never describe it! The words that came out of his mouth made my heart, dead so long ago, come back to life, when he said with the VOICE OF CHERUB: "Lady, I just want to tell you that God really loves you"


"When the little angel disappeared between the cold and the rain, I closed my door and read every word of the flyer.

Then I went to the attic to remove the chair and rope.


I didn't need them anymore. As you see. Now I am a happy daughter of the King.

Since the direction of the boy, when he left, was to this church, I came personally say thank you to that little angel of God who came just in time and, in fact, to rescue my life from an eternity in hell. And replaced it with an eternity in God's presence. "


Everyone cried in the church.


The Pastor came down from the pulpit to the first bench of the front, where the little angel was sitting; he took his son in his arms and cried uncontrollably.


Remember, God's message can make a big difference in someone's life, never be afraid to spread it. Amen

The Broken Dish story...



"Today I was walking in the supermarket and suddenly I heard a noise of things breaking. I walked down the aisles and saw that some people were murmuring . When I walked down their aisle, I saw a group of people staring at them.

An older lady had hit the shelf containing plates and glasses with her cart and many had fallen to the ground and broken.

Kneeling on the floor embarrassed, the old lady was frantically picking up the shattered pieces, while her husband peeled off the bar code from each broken dish saying:

See!!! Now we will have to pay for all this.

What a sad scene. Someone has a mishap, and all eyes were on her. When I knelt beside her to explain to her not to worry, a young man came and knelt beside us and said:

- Leave it, we will pick this up. Let’s get your information, so you can go to the hospital and have that wound in your hand looked at.

The lady looked at him, embarrassed and said:

- No. But I have to pay for all this.

The young man said:

- No maam, We have insurance for that kind of loss, and you do not have to pay anything.

When the young man got up, I could see that he had the information for the supermarket manager and sent the customer to get checked out.

For you who have read this so far, I would like you to give me a minute. Wherever you are, close your eyes, and imagine God doing the same for you!

Collect the pieces of your broken heart for all the blows that life has thrown at you. , God will heal all your wounds and I assure you that your sins and mistakes will be forgiven.

There is a warranty called grace, that when you recognize that you were wrong and you accept God as your only savior, the manager of the existence of the universe (GOD) will tell you: "Everything is already paid for ... go on your way, go!" 

May God bless u for reading.
