Do We Care?

It’s a shameful thing today that if most of us are asked this underlying question, only 2.5 of 100 per cent of us can boldly say “YES”. But before I go further to bare my mind on the question asked above, I welcome you all to your abandoned RESPONSIBILITY.

You may call this “piece of writing” names such as cynicism, religious slaps, personal feelings or grievous attack but we all should have it in mind that it’s our RESPONSIBILITY to PURSUE AND PRACTICE the word “CARE” to the LETTERS. In my thoughtful research, I would say – it’s 40: 20: 40 equation when it comes to the issue of CARE. HOW…? FIND OUT! 40 per cent of us will promptly admit and say “YES” whereas in actual fact – we do not know the true and real meaning of the word CARE. From the foregoing, many in this category are mere attachments to the responsibilities enshrined in the halls of CARE.

Notably, 20 per cent of us most times do not want to be asked this mind and soul blowing question. Why? These are the TRUE DISCIPLES of CARE but they do not want to be PUBLIC FIGURES (just like the PHARISEES) as regard to their WONDROUS DEEDS. Most of them do not want to be reminded about CARE simply because the majority of them may not have received the DIVIDENDS of their good works – so they shy away such questions.

However, the last 40 per cent people of this WONDERFUL EQUATION are nothing but EMPTY PUPPETS to the doctrine of CARE. First, these people know what it takes to CARE but they don’t CARE to CARE for anybody. They are busy BODIES who advise you to CARE, they are PEDDLERS of your deeds, they scold you the day you fail to CARE but they are not ready or willing to CARE. (Beware of Dogs says the Bible – so beware of such people).

Though, it’s alarming that GREED, SELFISHNESS, HATRED, CHAUVINISM et cetera have taken the CARING SEATS of our modern society; but as YOUTHS – ANOINTED CHAMPIONS, we can turn things around and make a very big-clear difference. This is a reminder of an African proverb which says “The Goat will only follow the person carrying its food”. Have you as a CHRISTIAN fulfilled all righteousness and yet, to CARE for someone is a little or a big problem for you?

What if God included “Thou Shall Care” in His ten commandments? Well, you don’t expect me to tell you that it’s your duty, and even if God added it to the Ten Commandments – many of us will still give excuses and avoid it with same old story. Finally, beloved, if you CARE or want to CARE for someone after reading this article; you must not rob God (pay your Tithe), you must not launch bitter diatribes against your colleagues and you must not cheat your neighbors. Remember C + A + R + E means Christ Approved Responsibility (for) Everyone; so care for someone today because it’s your RESPONSIBILITY and the time STARTS NOW!
