whoever has your key controls you
WHO HAS YOUR KEY?…..MY SCHOOL MOTHER/FATHER
Raise your hand if you are from Ghana. Raise it higher if you went to senior high school (SHS) and had a school mother/father..lol. Did I remind you of something right? Now let me break it down. A school mother/father in my era was supposed to assist you until you find your feet in senior high school. At SHS first year, even though it was not a school rule it was an accepted norm especially if you were in a boarding house to be assigned a school mother/ father. Then in your second and third year you, in turn, mother/ father a first year, and the cycle continues.
I looked forward to this exciting "mentorship" period but unlike everyone, I never had the chance to enjoy the school mother thingy.
I was abandoned at an early stage. This was because to me carrying your school mother's plate to the dining hall, fetching water, carrying her books to class, etc. did not make much sense to me especially the point where you are introduced to some other students supposed to be your school father, brother, and sister together with your school mother to sort out as it were a family issue. I was like what kind of life is this?
My school mother made it easier for me to dump her when she started invading my chop box which had gari, milo, and shito. I didn't understand why she would do that. Oh! I forgot to mention that my school mother was supposed to have a key to my chop box hence the invasion.
So long story short, I told her my piece of mind, took my key and that began my journey of rejection. Lol
What I am driving at with this story is to let you know that whoever has access to your life controls and take whatever he/she wants from you at any point in time.
When you give the keys of your happiness to someone who cares less about you, you have handed over yourself to them. This explains why many of us live on earth sad and bitter because our keys to success or happiness are with someone unworthy of them and they twist and turn it at any angle they want. As a Christian, I am asking "who have you given access to your life? "
Have you mistakenly handed one of your keys to the devil? Do you know that the devil is desperately in need of the key to your spiritual growth? Do you have an idea of how he will manipulate and destroy you if he has access to your key? "Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." (1 Pet 5:8, NLT)
Now here is the catch, unlike me, my other mates also had their keys with their school mothers and some of the mothers were loading it with good stuff; milk, sardines, you name them.
So what it means here is that it matters the one you are handling your keys to.
How about allowing God to take hold of the keys to control it and give you a fulfilled life. (John 10:10, NIV) "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
His word say that trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding, In all your ways acknowledge and he shall direct your path. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Hand over the keys of your life to Jesus and he will give you a life full of abundance.
