This weeks events caused me to redirect my blog for the week after hearing the glowing testimonies of how dr Manyandu inspired those she came into contact with. I have been in medical school and can testify to you that you rarely hear students speaking in glowing terms of their consultants, but in her case it seems to be different. The words motherly, understanding , teacher have been used to describe her and it brought me to my default verse Job14:1 that truly that which is born of a woman has few days to live on this earth and how we use that time determines the legacy we leave behind . Jesus once asked his disciples how people though of him and got a myriad of answers from prophet to Elijah back from the dead(matthew 16) Have you ever given it thought though in relation to you , like how do your kids see you, your neighbour or even the stranger we meet in the bus or in our workplace. Jesus says these people shall be our testimony in the end when he narrates how some saw him in prison and visited or poor and hungry and gave them food. Whatever we do for thoughs around us in need we have done to Christ saw always be compassionate to all and never tire in doing good. Had it not been for her many works of charity Dorcas would not have been given a new leash on life literally when Peter prayed for her after the widows mourned and pettitioned him on their behalf. We need to be effective in how we use the time allocated to us on this earth for noone knows the day or the hour when you are called to be with the Lord. Jesus ministry was only 3yrs but 2000s years later its still impacting generations what a legacy. Im remimded of the woman who met Christ by the well Jacob had dug years before and generations still drew from it, scripture says a righteous man lives and inheritance for his childrens children . A name can be an inheritance looks at how many people are benefitting from the chimbetu brand which simon made so im challenging someone today to strive in doing good and to start acting now and not delay for the graveyards are full of people who thought they had time
…when im gone
