As you clim up the ladder of life, your stewardship to humanity must increase. You must give something to everybody! You be like the”The tree that had something to offer every category of animals that came in contact with it”
“...Let us learn from King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. It talks of a beautiful, Big, and fruitful tree which provided food for some, shade or cover for some and accommodation for others. This tree has something to offer every category of animals that came in contact with it. It was a very useful tree. Like this tree, you can be beautiful, fruitful and have something to offer every class of human race. You are capable of impacting them in several ways for God’s glory. If you are born again but you are not as useful to mankind as this tree, you are yet to exploit your God - given potentials. This tree affected the world: you too can affect the world for good!”Pastor Adeboye’s “Open Heavens” of 15th January 2010 titled “Something to Everyone”
We all pray to be blessed but not many actual are willing to be a blessing to others! This is a selfish approach to to life. The essence of being blessed is to bless others and it must of necessity start from our homes e.g. blessing our children, our siblings, parents, our extended family members, our community, our State our nation and the world at large. If I were to decree, I would say it must of necessity be in that order! For instance, what’s the pride of a man who is a blessing to outside but that nobody in his household can point to one good he has done for him or her? What’s the pride of someone like Soyinka, Chinua Achebe etc if they make no contribution to Nigeria? What is the pride of a father who takes no care of his own wife and children but is a world-class ‘philanthropist?”
I therefore urge readers to please flash back and count how relevant they are to all these strata of their communities. Ask yourself, “how positively have I been impacting all those strata of communities entrusted to my care?” If the answer is negative, then there’s room to make amends and it should be started right away! The higher you go up the ladder, the more your stewardship to people should be. You must give something to everyone!
