SEAL THE CRACKS


In life, we have lots of people going through losses daily. We lost money, opportunities, favours, friends relationship etc. Many factors contribute to these losses in people’s lives and this gradually erodes the walls of their resilience, perseverance and even their confidence. When your content is tampered with, your identity is compromised and your strength becomes reduced because your identity fuels your strength, your confidence and resilience.

 The economy is causing cracks to people's pockets, the news is cracking people's emotions, the uncertainty is cracking people's faith in God and in themselves and these cracks are causing leakages to the reservoir of the quality of life you ought to live, your health and wholeness, confidence and courage, your emotional state.


 Cracking is a common damage caused by stress in a material that can easily be exaggerated by other factors, including corrosion, fatigue, high pressure, and material of construction. Human being can also experience cracking and the human parts where this happens is at the joints; knuckles, knees, ankles, back, and neck.

I am not talking about structural cracks or cracks on material or the cracking that occurs in human bones rather l am referring to cracks that will leak out your content. Your relevance is tied to your content. The quality and quantity of your content can be compromised if you don’t guard it. Just the same way, you can develop and increase your content, you can also loss it through leakages.

Oftentimes we get caught up in what we thought we knew nothing about and we feel like we are suddenly being cornered into a fix. That is because we weren't alert to notice the cracks before it became outlets, leaking out our contents. When it mutates into outlets, it becomes messy, worrisome, and disastrous.

Unless you rise up and take your position as the watchman for your life, you just might be losing precious things without knowing.  There are some who are opportune to see the cracks but decide not to pay attention to it on the premise that 'it is just a crack'.

 Sadly, some people don’t realize they are leaking out until they become empty, maybe because the cracks are not noticeable. The good news is a stranger may not see the tiny cracks on you but you can feel it, if you are sensitive to happenings around you.

 Some of the cracks could be;

1.    Emotional Cracks

2.    Financial Cracks

3.    Relational Cracks

4.    Spiritual Cracks

5.    Health Cracks

6.    Status Cracks etc.

  Ways to Detect Potential Leakage

·      When you experience increased anomalies around you

·      When you are not comfortable with whatever you are doing or about to do

·      When you begin to settle for less

·      When you no longer value the things that once gave you joy and satisfaction

·      When you become restless

·      When you are not recorded anticipated results

·      When you begin to find fault in everything and everyone around you

·      When you stop dreaming and start losing the essence of living

·      When you start competing with others and comparing etc.

 

Ways to Stop the Leakage

 The only way to stop the leakage is to seal up the cracks or close up the outlets but this will require the following:

1.    Pay attention to details in your life

2.    Periodic self-reflection will reveal gains & losses

3.    Inventory of your contents; Unusual skills, talents, abilities etc

4.    Set measures to guard what you have

5.  Have an unwavering faith in God.

 

 IT IS TIME TO RISE UP AND SEAL THE CRACKS ONE AFTER THE OTHER SO YOUR CONTENT IS PRESERVED AND REMAINS AUTHENTIC.

 See you at the TOP
