Most people want to start off being interesting, but that is putting the cart before the horse.
To be interesting, first you need to be interested.
Be interested in what is in front of you.
Be interested in who is beside you.
Be interested in where you are heading.
Commit to them and they will pull out of you, all that you need for whatever will come next.
– Osasu Oviawe
Matthew 8:28-34
And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?” Now a herd of many swine was feeding at some distance from them. And the demons begged him, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.” And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the swine; and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, and perished in the waters. The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, and what had happened to the demoniacs. And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.
Homily:
Firstly, evil recognizes good and cannot stand up to it.
Secondly, even demons understand the power of asking. They asked and they received.
Thirdly, economic well-being has always been prized above human well-being in society. The lost herd of swine was prized above the liberated humans.
