I NEED YOU

December 22, 2013

Humans are relational beings. Someone said that without interaction, frustration and boredom would be the order of the day. Another person said that life is like a jigsaw puzzle with each and every one of us as the pieces fit together. I tell you that, there is no one called cast away because the rejected and so called “useless” person of today might become your way out of trouble tomorrow.

There is a saying that, “if you love me, you would love my dog.” I add to it that, “if you hate me, you hate my dog also.” Saul hated David with a special passion. He attempted killing him several times but he never succeeded. Saul’s son – Jonathan, who apparently was to be the heir to the throne, was naturally meant to hate David as well, knowing how the people loved and preferred David more than his father, but I am so sure that Jonathan understood that he would one day need David.

In 1 Sam 18:1, Bible says that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Because of that, Jonathan helped David escape the wrath of Saul and because of what Jonathan did, his son – Mephibosheth enjoyed the favor of David. No matter who you are today, never look down or cast anyone aside, you might need them one day.

It is only a stupid doctor that would say he does not need an engineer. Only an unserious builder would say he does not need a carpenter. We all need each other. The garri seller needs the chilled water seller. The choir needs the technical team. The manager needs the messenger. Sir, get pride off your chest. Ma, do away with that ego, you need people. Even the creator needs people to do His work, how much less the creature.  

I, Aderibigbe Henry, need all of you and I pray that you shall not die young in Jesus Name. Amen!
