IN THE STRATA OF LIFE

     

There are people, in the strata of life: the kind that are strong-willed and those that are weak-willed. The strong-willed people are confident, courageous, and bold: they always have their way in life. While the weak-willed  people are timid and jittery. They are always anxious, and people around them always have their way in their lives(they are easily manipulated).

     But to everything in life, there are downsides and upsides. To the strong-willed and courageous, whenever they set their eyes on a goal or objective, they will accomplish it no matter what the challenge to the goal may be and God willing their their success! They are never discouraged and are never dissuaded easily from their chosen course in life. But the downside there is this, when a strong-willed person/people is/are given to complacency, the counsel of wisdom which pertains to life may not and will not dissuade them from taking an action or path which they've started to tread which will lead to or end them in self destruction.

      But to the weak-willed, if God allow them or they are fortunate to be in a good environment, amidst godly and kindhearted people who can compel them to do the right thing or leave a path which tends to destruction, they are easily convinced and won over, and eventually benefit from their state of being weak-willed.

        Nevertheless, if unfortunately they are found or found themselves in an/the environment of devilish and selfish people who know who they are, then their state of being weak-willed will predispose them to being exploited, taken advantage of, and even being corrupted and derailed into self destruction because  of being weak-willed.

     Being weak-willed is inimical to human life, development and wellbeing because, evil 'men' pervade the world and are looking for men and women, boys and girls who are weak-willed and easily swayed from their faith and consecration: they are looking for those that they'll seduce and dominate to that person's heartache and enslavement. Moreover to the person's alienation from God and eternal life.

       When you are weak-willed, you can be easily overcome by diverse temptations, you can easily be seduced and easily lose your life and destiny!

       Be confident and be courageous. Be bold and be steadfast in faith. Do not be easily swayed from the precepts of Christ Jesus and the father. Do not forsake the guide of your youth because of the sugarcoated words of the seducers. Be strong-willed to stand your ground in the face of peer pressure, be strong-willed to stand alone in the path of righteousness and morality when others are following the crowd treading the wayward path, gallivanting in the path of self destruction!

       Nevertheless, for the strong-willed men and women, complacency and blitheness is that spirit of self destruction which make one turn the deaf ear to the wise counsels and admonitions to refrain from the path of self destruction and eternal perdition! It is a must for a strong-willed person to constantly check him/herself if he/she is still standing in faith and not throwing caution to the wind to the end that he or she will not cry at the end and at the end of days!
