You are carrying something

Some time ago, I went to pick up my son from his school. As busy as the road was, I had no issue crossing it since I was alone. On my way back, with my son, I was more careful about crossing the same road.
I stood there for a very long time, waiting for the road to be entirely clear before crossing.

I remember I saw others crossing with the speed of light while I stood there, calculating my next move.

People were watching me, wondering why I was finding it difficult to cross. I heard someone say,’ this man cannot live in Lagos State.’

Eventually, when the road was clear, I crossed.

On my way to his school, I crossed the road without thinking twice. On my way back, I had a tough time crossing the road – the same road, the same me…lol.

What happened? I was more conscious the second time because I was carrying something. I was carrying someone. I was carrying my son.

That consciousness altered the way I thought, acted, and even spoke.
I didn’t mind the insults rained at me. I didn’t mind the time wasted. I couldn’t afford to miscalculate because it wasn’t just me this time.

How conscious are you of the one you are carrying? It is not enough to say it. You must act it and live in that consciousness.
That consciousness won’t allow you to slide your hands into a lady’s blouse.
That consciousness won’t allow you to send your nude pictures to him.
That consciousness won’t allow you to alter that document.
That consciousness won’t allow you to take advantage of the one you are meant to protect.

Perhaps I should remind you of who you’re carrying.

II Corinthians 6:16 [NKJV] And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”

God dwells in you. You carry God inside. Let that consciousness guide you throughout today.

Selah!
