The heart of Servitude.

PAB ONLINE readers it has been a while,

How has the pandemic been with you all, I hope you all are safe and have not lost anyone? You all are always in my prayers. Because I need you to constantly read, share and learn from my post. Yes, oo! I am selfish with all of you! So, God should ensure to always have you in good health and sound mind.

Anyways, how many of us have resumed church?

Because I have!! I am so excited to have this month of July free back-to-back on Sundays to fellowship with people in the church! I have missed my church family. Shout Out to all Triumphant Assembly Member’s Viewing this post! Love you guys. The warm welcome and acceptance of my absence are breathtaking (but I am still alive o, it just made my heart do Kokum Lol).

Anyways, to today’s post.
So, I was thought a most valuable lesson on Sunday, by a gentleman. Wonderful person and I do not think through my course of worshipping in TALAGOSCITY, have I had a long conversation with him, apart from hello and bye. But what he did surprised me and humbled me.

I was carrying my niece because my cousin came to church that day, and while I was stepping out for fresh air, I broke a heel. I was angry because I loved that slipper. Anyway, a man came unto me (he would be in his mid-thirties), I guess.

He saw my heel broke, and he was like “do you want to repair it with the Aboki (local shoe repairer) opposite the church” and I was like no, I have a spare slipper in the car and fortunately it matched my outfit perfectly (designed by yours truly “me”). I told him to hold the child while I get the shoe from the car and he was like “no, you should not stress myself.”

He collected my car keys, ran to where I packed, brought out the slippers, with a rag, cleaned the shoe, I am taking proper cleaning, helped me slip into it, took my bad slippers to the car, and came back to me. He did not stop there he followed me, open the door for me to go back into the church and I was left stunned.

Like the guy did not owe me anything but sorry or “eyah pele”. But he went through all that trouble, just to help me. And he did not even wait for a thank you. I later found out who he was and went to say thank you.

A lot of people may say different things, but I learned servitude, not for recognition, but servitude just because the good book said so. He did not even wait for a thank you. So, it was not like he did it so I could recognize him or anything. He just did it from the goodness of his heart.

My people how good is our heart?

I told myself from that moment, servitude was not a factor of age or reward. Because he was clearly older than me. Servitude is a factor of good and goodness is a factor of brotherly love and brotherly love is a factor of God.

How much God do we have in our heart that would push us to go the extra mile and be nice to people who cannot pay us back or be nice without think of rewards for the nice act?

Hmmm, that is the tea for today. I hope we learned something today. Because I had to share.
