The importance of Giving!


As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea. It’s so high in salt content that the human body can float easily. The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% - almost 10 times the normal ocean water. And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea. And hence the name: Dead Sea.
The other Sea is the Sea of Galilee. It happens that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea.
Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan. And yet, they are very, very different.
Unlike the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee is pretty, resplendent with rich, colourful marine life.
Same region, same source of water, and yet while one sea is full of life, the other is dead. How come?
Here’s apparently why. The River Jordan flows into the Sea of Galilee and then flows out. The water simply passes through the Sea of Galilee in and then out - and that keeps the sea healthy and vibrant, teeming with marine life.
But the Dead Sea is way below the main sea level that it has no outlet. The water flows in from the river Jordan, but does not flow out. There are no outlet streams. It is estimated that over 7 million tons of water evaporate from the Dead Sea every day. Leaving it salty, too full of minerals and unfit for any marine life.
So the Dead Sea takes water from the River Jordan, and holds it. It does not give. The result? No life at all.

Mind you, the sea of Galilee does not discriminate. It's gives off its water freely to the open sea. This is what keeps it fresh and alive.
This is what our dying world needs most today
Think about it. *Life is not just about getting. It's about giving.* We all need to be a bit like the Sea of Galilee.
In the sea of your own life, make outlets; many outlets. For love, peace, happiness, joy and everything else you get in your life, make sure you don't just get; give as well.

THE IGNORANCE OF FASTING TODAY. In literary terms fasting can be defined as the abstinence of food for the attainment of spiritual edification. Lately, I got an insight that restructured my mindset towards this subject. During fasting, the pathway to your soul is open and ready for rejuvenation; Hence some folks contact strange spirits, sickness and mental disorder right there at the mountain of intercession. Praying and fasting is never the  sole patent of Born again Christians as everyone thought ; Even Occultic/mystic practitioners, Hindus, Buddhist and African traditional worshipers such as native doctors, rain makers, etc undergo fasting before embarking on heavy  incantations. Those in the business of Astral or soul traveling can decode what I'm saying. The two doors that opens to the soul during fasting includes: 1.Realm of divinity 2.Realm of premortal  darkness. When fasting is done in consonance with the principles of God, one plunges into the re...
