WHAT A SHOCK

Please take time to read this challenging story, it will change your evangelistic vision and fortitude.

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and
hand out Gospel Tracts

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain

The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.'
His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for what?'
'Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out.'
Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring rain.'
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking,
'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?'
Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'
Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go?
Please?'
His father hesitated for a moment then said,
'Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son.'
'Thanks Dad!'
And with that, he was off and out into the rain.
This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract .
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT.

He stopped on a corner and looked
for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.
Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered.
He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.

Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him.
Again,
he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch!
He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.
Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do
for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am,
I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that  * JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU *
and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE..'
With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave.
She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you,
son! And God Bless You!'
Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, 'Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?'
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.
As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, 'No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before.
You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.

So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then
stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and broken-hearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of
my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought,

'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.'

I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking
loudly...

I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and
started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy

I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you!
The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice,
'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that

JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU .' Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up
to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.

You see-- -I am now a Happy Child of the KING.
Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel
who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell.'
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honour to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building,
Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated..
He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honour for his son... Except for One.

WORDS FOR THE WISE

In the dark , pit may look like a bed
In anger, heart beats faster than drum
In hunger, eye loses sight
Circumstances, unforseen
Harms and damage , immeasurable.
Lives could snap off in a seconds
Yet, I am here, you are there

Going out , coming in
Like the passengers in a bus
Different junctions we may reach
Parting ways may be inevitable
Relationship and friendship cut short
Yet , I am here , you are there

Difficult or easy it may be
Balanced diet may turn below diet
Rest room may turn toilet
Shoes may become slippers
Wardrobe unchanged for years
Yet , I am here, you are there

The rich get typhoid and all the hypers
They look happy but inwardly sick and dying
Even we,  have lost many friends, colleagues and mates
Riches will come if our creator wish
But with the one we couldn't buy, he blesses us
The life we live and the air we breath
There may be so much we lack
Yet , I am here, you are there......
Alive!

NINE WAYS TO AVOID CONFLICTS

9 Ways To Avoid Conflicts at Work
Today’s Must Reads

Psychological climate in the team is one of the main criteria to which many job seekers pay attention
when choosing the place of work.

However, if financial and other details relating to the new position can be discussed during the preliminary conversation with the management or at the interview stage, the relationship of colleagues and working environment can be assessed only after a certain time.

How to behave in the conflict
situations and what to do in order to improve relations with other employees?

Change your attitude to the conflict
It is impossible to live life without contradictions and disputes. Work is a place where people spend a lot of time, so such conflicts occur quite often.

However, sometimes these disagreements can be useful - emotional discharge helps to find a
common solution of the problem and makes change a mind about a colleague and listen to someone
else's point of view.

However, it should be noted that too frequent elucidation of relations may cause constant stress and tense atmosphere in the team. Note also
whether the management is trying to understand the circumstances and offer solutions to the problem.

Create Resume Resolve a conflict at an early stage Perhaps you've already noticed the dissatisfaction
of an employee with your work or caustic remarks in your side? Try to figure out what was the reason
for such a situation until the moment the petty quarrel turn into a conflict with the rapid clarifying of the relationships. Do not be afraid to talk to a colleague - probably during the dialogue you will learn how to find a compromise in order such
circumstances will not be repeated in the future. If the reason for disagreement lies not in the personal
motives, it is likely the problem will be solved peacefully.

Keep the communication to a minimum
If you have a bad relationship or a person brings
unpleasant emotions to you, try to keep contact with such a worker to a minimum.

However, if you do occasionally have to deal with a colleague and to clarify some working moments, try to be in a positive attitude and keep a neutral tone in the conversation - it will help keep things under control and properly manage your emotions.

Analyze your own behavior
Try to thoroughly analyze your own behavior in the team and put yourself in the place of your colleagues. This way you will understand who the
main culprit for such situations is and what factors most often provoke conflicts in the workplace.

Consider the comments of other co-workers - if they are true and adequate, maybe it is worth
listening to them and to improve relations in such a way?

Choose a neutral position
It is quite often situation in a working environment - disagreement between two staff members, each of whom is looking for support in other colleagues.

Nevertheless, it is better stand aside and take a neutral position. You should not get involved in someone else conflict and gossips not to spoil your own professional reputation..

This behavior is the most correct, especially if you’ve just started
working in the company or going through the probationary period.

The Latest Job Vacancies in Nigeria Search Job Solve conflicts independently Try to analyze your own situation independently but
at the same time ensure that other employees do not affect the decision of a question. Do not carry the disagreements to the public, but rather try to understand the conflict without the participation of other team members. In the case if you cannot find a common language, offer a colleague an alternative
variant - for example, ask for help from your chief with whom you will be able to discuss this issue.

Think carefully about your arguments and how you explain and defend your position..

Control your statements
No matter what was the main reason of yourquarrel - mistakes in the work process or just incompatibility of characters - in any case it is
necessary to control your emotions and expressions. Transformation of the conflict into the discussion of personal qualities of the colleague is
not the best quality of employee. Initially pay attention to the initial subject of the dispute rather than try to hurt a worker by negative comments and statements.

Be able to admit mistakes
If in the course of the dispute it was suddenly found out that you were wrong, do not be afraid to admit your mistake and apologize to a colleague. Such a
behavior will be displayed on your relationship positively and help prevent similar conflicts in the
future.

The ability to find compromises in difficult situations and listen to the views and ideas of other employees is one of the main qualities of a true
professional..

Make your conclusions
Despite the fact that conflicts are inevitable, you should remember that they should not interfere with a comfortable work and be a constant source of stress. If the tense working atmosphere is continuous, but the desire to improve relations do not bring tangible results and the management makes no attempt to resolve the problem, think whether you are satisfied with this state of affairs and whether you will be able to perform your job responsibilities effectively in the future.
