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.

about to do
