Sincere Confessions: "I Am a Player!"

This is just a quickie to get you thinking!

In any sporting match, there are always players and commentators. The players are those that the cameras are desperately trying to catch a glimpse of; they are the cynosure of all eyes! They are obviously better paid than the commentators [google Gareth Bale, lol]. People troop into a sporting complex just to see their favourite players. This is because the 'players' make things happen - literally [you need to watch LeBron James sometimes in the NBA Player-offs]. Commentators are those whose job is to talk about what happened in the field of play. They essentially tell the success story of others - the players. They are the 'reporters' of greatness! 

Not that i have anything against reporters - in fact i love commentaries. It is one of the things that makes a match appeal to me. I love listening to people talk - especially if they can articulate themselves properly because i learn speaking tips from such people to improve on my oratory skills.. However there is a colossal difference between just talking and living a life of always talking about the success of others. If you don't start making things happen in your life, you might be signing up for a lifetime of talking about others! Other people's greatness are meant to spur you on to achieving yours! Not to fight everyone else trying to be the number one fan of someone who i am sure does not have two heads [except he dropped from Mars]. 

I repeat: "NOBODY has a monopoly of greatness! Therefore it is never an exclusive preserve of any elite! Don't be intimidated by the success of anyone! This is because the TOP is never crowded; there is ample space for you there! Conversely it is the bottom that is crowded - so snap out of that "crowd-mentality". We were all created to be celebrated! Greatness is not a privilege; it is your [birth]right in God! 
"...as [great as] He is, so are we [great] in this world!..." SELAH!
Commentators or Players? Choose ye this day which class thou belongest to!

Where Is My Name?

This is the story of a brother, who slept and woke up in Foreverland
He looked around, nothing is familiar, he wondered how he got to be there
He took a walk around the City, and saw a brick house with a small door
Walked into the room and saw a man in white, "must be an Angel" - so he said
"Mr Angel i am a stranger, don't know what's going on
The last thing i remember was that i slept last night"
[Angel responds:] "This is a Border Town that takes you where you get a crown
You must have heard of Heaven where you came from
Only those whose names i find written in this Book of Life
Shall forever be in Paradise"

"Is your name in this BOOK of LIFE?"

Flipping the pages of this great Book, this brother gave a cursory gaze
He saw the names of prophets, saints and martyrs - who kept the faith and won the race
So he said "Mr. Angel, where is my name?
Can you tell me what is going wrong?
I am a pillar in my local church, give the offerings and the tithes
I feed the poor and have myself a good name 

"Is your name in this BOOK of LIFE?"

Unforgiveness lurks within your heart
Some folks that you would never let go
Little foxes and secret faults
Will spring surprises on that Final Day


"Is MY name in this BOOK of LIFE?"

So much for this wonder brother
What about you, what about me?
Let he that thinks he stands
Let him take heed lest he falls
Only the pure in heart will see Jesus
Those whose garments glow with purity

"Is MY name in this BOOK of LIFE?"
Selah [pause a little and calmly think about that.]
