GOLIATH WITH THE GOLDEN FEET

With every opportunity comes challenges and in every challenge there are opportunities. From this statement, it shows that an opportunity creates more opportunities through challenges. we all face challenges from different aspects of our lives but we often use our understanding to fight the battle. And we even scare ourselves away refusing to see the reward afterwards.
Opportunities do not come with their values stamped upon them. Every one must be challenged. A day, dawns, quite like other days; in it a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us. The face every opportunity of life thoughtfully and ask its meaning bravely and earnestly, is the only one and only way to meet the supreme opportunities when they come, whether open-faced or disguised.
You may never be able to explore all these potential opportunities if all you see are the challenges involved. Your challenge can be a stepping stone if you climb courageously and can as well be a stumbling block if you are afraid to climb. A very close friend once told me that his mum tells him that if the devil is not bothered about you then you have nothing to offer, it means he (devil) already has you. It simply means the devil has already defeated you and thus you are not of interest to him.
*Graphical Expression of Opportunity and Challenges


Biblical Examples people challenged of Goliath with the Golden Feet
DAVID
When others were seeing the great Philistine, David saw an opportunity- to be rewarded by the king (1 Samuel 17:24-27). The king would not have probably needed to make anyone wealthy and a son-in-law if not for the challenged faced by the land.
CALEB
When the other spies saw themselves as grasshopper (Numbers 13:33) that will be devoured by the Amalekites, Caleb saw the milk and honey in the land and how fruitful the land is.
What is Common to David and Caleb?
They both did not see their abilities, strength, knowledge and experience.
What they saw was God’s promises and abilities.
Lessons
You cannot defeat the Goliath alone, you need God.
Every Goliath has a Golden Feet. Don’t look at the face, Focus on the feet.
Your challenge is a stepping stone and not a stumbling block, Climb it.
  Be Blessed

Meet The Woman Who Is Half-Human, Half-Fox Creature At Karachi Zoo(video)

Image
 This is mysterious! One of the top attractions at Karachi Zoo in Pakistan is ‘Mumtaz Begum Africa Wali’ – a mythical half-fox, half-woman chimera. With the body of a fox and the head of a woman, this bizarre creature manages to delight visitors more than any other animal in the zoo. Her witty conversation and fortune-telling talents make her an instant hit with any sort of crowd. Once you enter Karachi Zoo, it’s hard to miss Mumtaz Begum – the organizers announce their bizarre attraction on a megaphone. When you get inside Mumtaz Mahal, the building that houses her, all you can see at first is a fox’s hide placed on a table-like arrangement. Suddenly, a woman’s head appears out of nowhere, exactly where the fox’s head is supposed to be. The woman wears heavy make up with bright lipstick, and small children in the crowd are immediately captivated by her presence. Then she begins her story: “I was born like this in Africa 35 years ago, and I live on cake, j...

What are children turning into?

Smiling..... i was in my office this morning working on syndelsmiles a man just came in and started grumbling about how rude a young boy was to him, that was how the discussion started. with all different opinions of people about children of now a days. seriously something is wrong.... below are what i picked from the controversy.  Can you imagine that children’s behavior would become a real problem today! What has changed? Are they badly educated by their parents or are they exposed to many more difficulties resulting from the new way of life? This drastic transformation raises a lot of questions, and I think the most important question is: how should we raise our children in today’s world. I would raise my children in comparison to the way I was raised. They taught me how to prepare many things in order to become a real woman today. They always wanted me to share my opinions. I was really involved in the family. Every Sunday, we went to church because that was the o...
