There are some valuables that’s been lost and or became quite rare in humanity throughout time and generations. Among them are chivalry-readiness to help the weak, courtesy-respectable attitude, prestige-respect for quality in others, and honor-agreement of high merit or conduct where and to whom its due. In reality, all of these can be reduced into one word RESPECT or a phrase code of conduct. In all walks of life we are faced with such codes whether it’s at the work place, at home, at school, in organizations, in the temples or in churches. Each has their own code of conducts and even within these different organizations especially within the different denominations in churches to each its doctrines. The codes seemed to have been a sub-law for society to follow to facilitate and keep all in check so we don’t lose our human side, to prevent chaos. Through time however we’ve lost most of the essence of whom and whose we ought to be. Humanity’s Holy CODE OF HONOR was written by God’s very hand given to Moses on Mount Sinai known as the Ten Commandments. Under God’s grace terms through Jesus blood sacrifice and Salvation gift however these commandments were simplified into the two greatest commandments most of us believers know today. The first being to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul as the second being to love your neighbor as yourself, (Matthew 22: 37-39). To return back to basics and retrieve our lost Code of Honor we would have only to uphold the two greatest commandments, they’re the best prescriptions to society’s malady. Knowing this is really a set up, it obligates one to take action toward healing self then to project healing outward to others. Later before God’s throne when you’ll want to say “well Lord I didn’t know of these,” or “no one never explained it to me;” He’ll pull out the original copy of the simplified version of His golden rule and serve it to you on a silver platter that you can’t refuse. So I urge you brave souls reading these lines, before it comes to this to take proper action for the betterment of your life journey and productive exit. While you breathe the borrowed breath of life whispered into you, while the blood flows alive through your veins, while your eyes are still open and can focus, while your mind can still be redirected in going the right path by choosing, before your eyes close for the last time and you’re forced to hear the very last piece of information you will ever hear in this world-still unsure whether that last info will be in your soul’s best interest or not, it’s of utmost importance to make provision and store it as does the ants for their winter. Your winter might arrive as a thief in the night without warning. The sun might set over your life at an un-appointed time, because tomorrow isn’t promised to any man; you owe yourself the right to uphold and follow God’s Holy Code of Honor over your life. Because you don’t really know the depths of the worth or value of a soul nor do you have the capacity of remitting the weight, burden or responsibility of a soul lost, command yourself to respect and revere the essence of the code of honor God has for your life for the betterment of your soul’s eternity.
