When a habit already exists within a source if someone comes to complain to that source as being made victim to that same habit, if that source hasn’t been convicted that complaint will be in vain. No justice will be served! For one’s complaint to be held into account it must be presented to a source that has been fully convicted.
Here’s a clear example: take a thief and complain to him that someone has stolen your valuables, he will take no pity to your situation nor will you get any justice because he’s still thieving. Hence he can only violate your right! In the same token, if you’ve brought your complaint to someone who once stole but has fully mended the error of his ways, having lost, has repented and became a pillar of righteousness since, this person can better stand in your defense. Having experienced both sides of that spectrum, this person can then serve you better at achieving great justice. A person who has obtained life’s strict and severe schooling is of better aid than a fool who is stagnant in his ways.
Be a good judge of character. If you’re listening and wanting to learn, people will tell you who they are be it good or evil! People ought to live and learn to mend their ways to become a monument of greatness not just for self but for the future generations looking to them. There lies the root of each person’s legacy.
Have you worked to nourish the roots of your legacy? Have you derooted the evil seed, stem, bark of your dishonor? Have you tended to the skeletons in your closet? To be and remain a Godly beacon of light, love and righteousness it is imperative to build and work from within the foundation outward! To do this, one must be willing to tame the mind, heart, gut and spirit to develop and maintain a sturdy, well-rounded character of worth, credit and virtue in this generation.

SELF-CONTROL
MÉTRISE DE SOI
Ask yourself this: “With what spirit would you spoil the moment or a day for a person while satisfying your need, or being overly sensitive over your situation, and then be so far gone as to overlook the whole point?” “Métrise de soi” (self-control) a necessary ingredient when dealing with everyone. A fruit of the Spirit!
If you’re giving to the whole world and home is suffering your giving is in vain. To make your giving count you must begin by tending to home first then project outward. Then, your support would have begun at home first to deepen the root of your efforts. Trust me. It works best thus.
Give your precious time most of all before it expires and becomes useless or unused!
