People shaking hands
Everything that has surfaced over the face of the Earth has a beginning.
Every plant, animal or human being has an origin, the very first time it began to exist.
However, human beings are much important subjects to focus on.
Talking about human beings, the emergence of races, cultures, religions, governments and social systems all started one day.
Little by little, they modified over time before assuming a stable, permanent form.
Every individual on the face of this Earth came from a woman, via artificial insemination or natural fertilization, the zygote still needs a womb to develop in before it can be delivered.
There might be new technologies in the future that can enable birth/delivery to occur in other ways but that is not the point of this discourse.
The point of this discourse is : the beginning of a man, the source of human being, a person's origin has a lot to do with his or her status quo.
We didn't just start existing, we were born first.
Even the way we look can be traced up our family trees.
Different things bind different people to different forms of belonging.
The forms of belonging are mostly family, church, mosques, schools, professions, sports, hobbies, clubs, associations, occupations e.t.c
Whenever people are gathered under one umbrella with common goals and objectives, they are more of one body.
They can be likened to one body.
This is because they abide by the same code of conduct, ethics, rules and regulations.
Provided a person has willingly consented to being a party to such agreement, he or she has become one with the group in question.
In some cases, you don't get to give consent, instead, someone stands in and decide for you.
This particular form of belonging occurs when a child is born into a family and automatically accepts everything he or she meets without an room for consent giving.
So, they act as one person even though they are many individuals numerically.
Because one agreement binds all of them together, they share in the goals , the successes and even the failures.
This means that, whatever action any of them takes, affects everyone who has committed his or herself to the terms and conditions of the group.
When one person does one thing, it is seen as done by everybody.
This is why it is important to study the present modus operandi of any group we find ourselves in.
The present modus operandi is as a result of decisions and happenings of the past / original modus operandi.
The way a people behave has an explanation of why it is that way in their past.
It is good to ask questions and inquire into history.
Traditions exist even in the corporate world, firms and organizations have cultures , the way things are done around there , which is most times unannounced and never questioned.
When a person identifies his or herself with a new group, born into a family , adopted into a family, joined a club, employed in an organization, partaking as part of an association, the person must first get a good understanding of the traditions of the circle in question, the culture, the way of doing things, unannounced and unquestionable.
This is what the proverbial African fowl does, in a new environment, it stands with one feet up and the other down.
The fowl is in a phase of observation.
It is foolishness to confront whatever seems off in a new environment.
You'll only be getting yourself in trouble.
Instead, because you know that you are now one of the people in question, that whatever happens to one, happens to all, you should do a background check on everything traceable.
When crazy things begin to happen, the solution can only be administered properly from the foundation.
Going back to the origin where and how it all began.
It is stupid to rebuff such search for answers.
It's like walking blindfolded on road full of potholes.
Jesus Christ is our deliverance, yes.
He is the solution but even as he is the solution, we will have to find out the root cause of whatever the problem is, in order to administer Jesus to it properly and efficiently.
It is good to research before committing to anything form of agreement.
Terms and conditions should not be swiped up without in-depth study and consideration.
By the time you will have seen all there is to handle by your commitment, you will know what you are going into and will know how to tackle whatever matter that may arise.
Romans 5:12:
"Wherefore, as by one man, sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned".
It is well with us in Jesus name, amen.
