There are things we must carry and handle with extra- care
because these things are fragile and once broken, it is not easy to put back
together and once some of these things get broken, they can lead to huge damage
and destiny wastage.
1. Your Name:
Prov 22:1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to
be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
Your name is very important and fragile. There are names
that stinks in the ears of people simply because, those who bear those names
spoilt the name. A good example is Judas Iscariot
The best way to handle your name carefully is by being
careful of your deeds. Your actions can rubbish your name. Good names can open
doors for you and for your children and generations after you.
Carry your name with carefulness. It is a huge asset. Here
is one of the quotes written by Shakespeare: 'Whoever steals my purse steals
trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to
thousands; But he that filches from me my good name, my enviable
reputation robs me of that which does not enrich him, But makes me poor
indeed'.
2. Your heart:
Prov 4:23 Above
all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Many hearts are broken, shattered, wounded and bitter today.
One of the factors responsible for this is because many of these hearts' owners
were careless with their hearts.
You can guard your heart from being broken and bitter. Run
away from people and things that are bent on breaking your heart. Carry your
heart like a crate of eggs.
You need a whole heart before you can be said to be fully
whole!
3. Your purpose:
Gen 45:8 “So
then, it was not you who sent me here but God”.
Your purpose is your destiny. If you don't handle it with
utmost carefulness, it can slip off your hands and gaze and get broken.
So many things can come like pressure on this crate of egg
of purpose; discouragement, lack of fund, anxieties, etc. These are things that
may want to come like pressure on your purpose to break it. Don't allow them!
Carry it with care. Carry your purpose away from people and things that may
want to put pressure on it and break it.
4: Your health:
3John 2 "Dear
friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with
you, even as your soul is getting along well.
You have only this body as a vehicle that will carry you
through your journey of destiny in this life. Handle your health with
carefulness. No matter how big your vision is, once you are dead, nobody can
really run the vision like you!
Fight for your health. Avoid things that can destroy your
health. Wealth is useless when your health becomes useless. Don't kill yourself
before your time. Do your best to stay alive. WE STILL NEED YOU HERE ON EARTH.
Don't use your FORK, KNIFE, GLASS and your SPOON to dig your grave. Watch what
you EAT and DRINK. Don't eat anything because it is edible and don't drink
anything because it is appetizing. Always pray for divine immunization against
sickness and diseases.
5 Your Marriage:
Eph 5:22&25 Wives, submit yourselves to your own
husbands as you do to the Lord. 25 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ
loved the church and gave himself up for her
SO MANY PEOPLE HANDLE THEIR MARRIAGE LIKE A CARTON OF NODDLES.
Your marriage is fragile. Handle it like a crate of egg. It must not break! A
broken marriage is not easily put back together, because, when a marriage
breaks, many things get broken with it. Husband and wife must always carry
their marriage like an egg. It must not break!
6: Your words:
Eph4:29 Do not
let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for
building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who
listen.
Your worth is attached to your words. Be careful with words.
Once broken, you can't gather them up again. Many people are careless with
their words. They speak violently. They make empty promises and break them.
Some say things they later wish they never said. Guard your words. Be careful
with your diction.
7: Your eternity:
Eccl. 3:11b He
has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has
done from beginning to end.
Those who are running up and down to fulfill destiny here on
Earth without thinking of their eternity do not belong here! The matter of
eternity is not something you should handle with levity. Think about where you
will spend eternity. You will die one day. I will also die one day. All that we
are and have in this world are vanity upon vanity.
Take the matter of your end very serious. Stop living
carelessly as if you have extra life. Don't live for the pleasure of this
world. Have the hereafter in mind in all that you do.
