Responsible....

The dilemma of coming into existence with out one's participation leaves one a bit helpless. You were on your own, wherever you were when two People, male and female had a sexual intercourse, for whatever reason. It happen that the sperm cell met with an ova and pronto, a zygote was formed. After a period of time, you were birthed. From your conception to your delivery, I doubt if you were responsible for anything. The fact that you can read this means someone also became responsible for you at the budding years of your life. Apparently, this concept, responsibility, was introduced to you much later in life. If you are fortunate, as a child. At other instances, as an adolescent and in some grave situations, as a fully matured adult.
Thus, we are left with only one option, to take over what we didn't start and give meaning to what we had no idea of why it started in the first place-Life! Interestingly, ours attitude towards this issue of responsibility does not change the fact that wes are indeed responsible. We may be ignorant of the fact, but we are responsible. We may shy away from it, we are still responsible.
While we may still be trying to understand the degree of our responsibility for ourselves, it is important to realize that we are also responsible for what happens in our environment, in our earth. This may not be difficult to understand when we see it in a collective sense, particularly with the evidence of global warming, wars and the many calamities besieging mankind because of man's activity, however, we will find it a bit challenging to accept individual responsibility for a general situation. Put differently, I am not a victim of what happens around me, I am the cause. Does that sound too ambitious? I hope not. When Adam sinned in the garden of eden( Genesis 3), the earth was cursed for his sake. What did the earth do to warrant the curse? I do not have an idea. Does this mean everything around me is tied to me, not the other way round? It appears so. While not attempting to belabour the issue, notice that before Man was created, everything had been made and given to him to enjoy. So, we can safely argue that they were made for man, not man for them. Little wonder it appears absurd to live for food, which leads to obesity. But that is not our focus. In Genesis 8: 20-22, when Noah built an alter and sacrificed on it, God said in His heart that He wouldn't curse the ground, earth, again because of man. That is huge. Adam attracted a curse by his action, Noah's action led to a reversal of  that same curse. If Adam brought a curse that Noah reversed, both because of what they did, it follows therefore that your action can bring a curse to your family, business, community, nation and the planet. If the wrong things are all around you, do not fold your arms and feel you are a victim, arise, and do something to reverse the curse. Noah did not cause the situation that led to the countless dead bodies that were littered all over his environment when he came out of the ark, but he realized that he could not afford to play the blame game. Without being told, he had to do something. He built an alter and offered the only other recorded sacrifice in the Bible after Cain and Table's sacrifice. Noah made a sacrifice we are all beneficiaries of till date. You can also make a sacrifice that will reverse the course in you're environment for generations to come. As much as you are doing very well as someone responsible for yourself, its time to awake to your responsibility for you're land, your industry, nation and generation. You may have sown seeds for your personal needs, I have done that too. But it is time to sow seed as a sacrifice to bring into government righteousness, justice and accountability. We can't sit back and watch things decay around us and end up only complaining and tweeting the latest bad news. We must arise as priests and offer on the alter sacrifices that will herald a new era for the kingdom of the world has become that of Christ and His servants, and we shall reign! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE, I AM RESPONSIBLE!!!
