THE
THREE “F’s” OF LIFE
I recently read an interesting article by Michael A. Adeniyi. I thought it would be nice to share it with
you, so it is reprinted in its entirety below.
Enjoy!
Faith
and fear are significant measures that determine the future.
Faith and fear are
actually infectious because they both spread like epidemics, so you must be very
careful about the things you listen to and the people with whom you
choose to associate. Many people have
allowed the faithless words of others to drive them into despair by
which they end up being a future failure.
What is FAITH?
F - future
A - actions
I - intended and expected
T - to
H - happen
F - future
A - actions
I - intended and expected
T - to
H - happen
What is FEAR?
F - fake
E - experience
A - appearing
R - real
Thus, a person with fear is actually a coward because “a coward dies ten times before their death.”
F - fake

Thus, a person with fear is actually a coward because “a coward dies ten times before their death.”
Here is a true story
that confirms this fact. A man started
running down the street of his town screaming, “The dam has
broken.” Women shopping in the
supermarket heard the scream and they dropped their grocery baskets and joined
him. Men in the barbershop and offices
heard the mob and joined them, as did the police and the firemen. Soon the street was filled with people screaming,
“The dam has broken!” One old man ran as
fast and far has he could and then sat down on the curb for a moment and
thought, “I've lived here all
my life. What dam?”
The truth and fact was quite simple. There was no dam. There was no danger.
A short while later
the citizens came shuffling back into town, collectively embarrassed by their
irrational response to fear. Some
suffered physically from the stampede; some even died. Thankfully, most survived. Lesson learned: reject fear and choose
faith to create a better present and future.
What is the FUTURE?
F - focused
U - utility/utilized
T - timing
U - used in
R - realizing
E – expectations
“For God has not
given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (II
Timothy 1:7)
Sisters
and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU
ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
