BIRTHDAY

 

BIRTHDAY is a reminder of the day you were born.

Birthday is like a check and balances to one’s destiny. When a child is given birth to, the parent gives him/her a name, once the child is 1, something changes in the parent’s mindset and that is their orientation about the child, the child is now 1, its no longer “we just gave birth to a child,”, it is now “we have a year old child”.

If the child clocks 2 and no improvement in the size of the child, they tend to wonder but still, they might not take it all that serious, 3, 4, and then 5, still the same size as a year old child. Their conclusion will be the child has a problem growing, and then the next thing is to start running all around.

A child given birth to is meant to grow. A destiny created is meant to be fulfilled. The moment you are able to number your birthday yourself and you can plan towards next one, I believe you are old enough to be responsible for your actions.

On each birthday, why not just pause and see the clear difference between the previous year and the one you just concluded. If there is none, I guess you’ve started having a stunted growth. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, He knows you, He knows you by your name, a package was sent with your coming into this world, that package is your destiny. To each child there is a purpose and all to the glory of God.

You are responsible for what you carry in your hand (Destiny)., there is an account to give to the one who gave the package to you(God). There is an alarm (Birthday) to help you check if you are utilizing it well, If it is still as fresh as you were given, or you’ve started using.

Birthday should not be “I was born some years ago and today I am eating cake in remembrance of that year”, it should rather be “I was born years back, I kept growing since then, each year it’s a new height and I’m celebrating my achievement”

Don’t /stop celebrating the “number” start celebrating the “achievement”. If there is no difference between “who you were” and “who you are”, forget about the cake, break it and get a life, after that you can celebrate the life.. Don’t/stop celebrating emptiness, or death, start celebrating life.

The purpose of the number (age) is to keep you on track and help you know you don’t have eternity to fulfill destiny.

In case you don’t know your purpose, its never too late. In case you’ve not been known for anything in your generation, its not too late. In case you are stuck somewhere, seek help. In case it seems God is not on your side, look again. In case you don’t even know the owner of the package you carry, connect to Him, He has the best to where it leads to.

This is dedicated to all birthday celebrants. Happy birthday.
