VALUE

Free things aren't valued much, But believe you me nothing is free, someone paid for it, that you can have it freely today.

When I was in primary school, the  government for some years provided lunch for every primary and secondary school student, all that was required of us was to come to school with a tin. this encouraged hundreds of children to join school.. to some this lunch was all they got the whole day and night. they survived on government lunch maize and beans.

There were complains of misuse, from most institutions since they didn't understand the real cost to the government and the tax payer, we became so much used to it, and thought we deserved to have it until the time it came to a stop and we couldn't pay for it. .. that's when we saw how much it helped the students. to some coming to school on empty stomach became unbearable and they quited. we then understood the real value of the government lunch when it was far gone..

Today as I write this I'm disappointed by the Kenyans who've rejected the Last mile connectivity programme funded by the government- connecting every citizen to the power grid. I happen to be among the people carrying out the field design, and sad enough there are some of us who've not yet understood the value of power- electricity they still want to remain in darkness..

I do not own shares in Kenya power and I'm not marketing them but am simply saying, get connected..

I'm n't surprised when we fail to value the valuable, In the Bible there's this young man who missed on the value. Esau, he sold his birthright to his young brother Jacob for food!! Isaac must have shared with them the blessings of their grandfather the promises and he must have known the value and privilege of being a first born, but anyway he sold it..

The value of anything is determined by how much you are willing to pay for something.. If you are willing to pay for 2,000 for my Techno phone that's the value you've placed on it. you've your reasons why you can pay for such amount and not more.. that's it value.
The more you are willing to pay for something the higher its valued..

Esau valued food much that he was willing to pay with his birthright. poor valuation..

Salvation is freely given to us. but surprisingly there are people who've not yet understood its value. sorry to say some of us will understand its value when we miss it and end up in hell.. just like the government lunch that we were soo used to, misused it until it was no more that's when we realised its value.

What was God willing to pay for you to receive salvation.? in other words what was the value of salvation?

, John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

God was willing to pay, with His Only Son.. that's the price He placed on you and me. for He loved us.  He values you that much.

You know whats required of you, value the valuable, accept the love of God,. and receive Him in our life, the price is paid do not delay, or it will be too late..

Understand the price paid by the tax payers through the government to get you connected and accept the power connection.

Understand the price paid by the tax payer and take care of the resources provided for you. someone has paid for it that you may enjoy it today accept it and take care of it.

Blessings as you study.
