SIN OF PRESUMPTION
Touching Story.
A cat was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it & go out to attend other matters. She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the cat faithfully watching over him.
One day something tragic happened. The woman as usual, left the baby in the "hands" of this faithful cat & went out shopping. When she returned, she discovered rather a nasty scene, there was a total mess. The baby's cot was dismantled; his nappies & clothes torn to shreds with blood stains all over the bedroom where she left the child & the cat. Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby.
All of a sudden, she saw the faithful cat emerging from under the bed. It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as it had just finished a delicious meal.
The woman went berserk & assumed that the cat had devoured her baby.
Without much thought she beat the cat with a wood to death. But as she continued searching for the"remains" of her child, she beheld another scene. Close to the bed was the baby, who although lying bare on the floor, was safe & under the bed the body of a snake torn to pieces in what must have been a fierce battle between it & the cat, which was now dead.
Then reality dawned on the woman who now began to understand what took place in her absence. The cat fought to protect the baby from the ravenous snake.
It was too late for her now to make amends because in her impatience and anger,she had killed the faithful cat.
How often have we misjudged people & torn them to shreds with harsh words and deeds before we have had time to evaluate the situation? It is called SIN OF PRESUMPTION
Presuming things our way without taking the trouble to find out exactly what the situation really is. Little patience can drastically reduce major life long mistakes. Who Are you misjudging right now. Don't think what you think others are thinking. Take time to get the whole truth.
Share if you're touched and use it as a LESSON!

RCCG Puts Smiles On Faces Of Lagos Residents
In line with her Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), the new creation chapel, Ajao, Lagos, over the weekend put smiles on the faces of some of the residents of Oriba, Tagbati, Mayunre and Olorunsogo communities of Epe local government area.
The programme according to the parish pastor of the church, Pastor Igho Orienru, was in line with the mandate given by the general overseer of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye that the church must ensure implementation of projects within their locality to complement government’s efforts in providing basic amenities for the citizens.
He said that corporate social responsibility entails giving back to the society by adding value to the life of the people and not only blessing the people spiritually but also ensure that their physical life have a meaning.
“It was on this note that the new creation chapel came together for the first time to stage this year’s CSR to the rural people so that we can have a better impact on the unreached communities unlike previous years”.
Pastor Orienru pointed out that free medical care, foods, clothes and other items were distributed to the communities.
On the theme of the programme, “Reaching the unreached initiatives”, the pastor said that the church was continually reaching out to the rural communities that are yet to feel government impact and also planning to embark on community projects like providing clean water.
