IN FIRST SAMUEL 1:1-10 we read about a man called ELKAN.The man has got two wives another lady got a children,another one Hannah don't have children because she was a barren.every year ELKAN give a gift to his family,and he gave Hana a double portion because he was loving Hanna too much while she was a barren.BUT HANA was unsatisfied for the double portion she get from her husband.She was looking to be productive not just to get a gift,until she died without a name left behind.THEREFORE HE TAKE ACTION HE GO TO GOD TO ASK A CHILD,and God answer her gave her a child.OH! WHAT A CHILD,SAMAUEL,WHO BECAME THE LEADER OF GOD'S PEOPLE.Another meaning of word barren mean ;UNFRUITHFULL,UNPRODUCTIVE.SO HANA DID NOT ACCEPT TO GET A GIFT BUT SHE WANT TO BE A PRODUCTIVE LADY .
TODAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MADIBA WHY? BECAUSE HE WAKE FOR THE RIGHT OF OTHER PEOPLE.HE WAS NOT SATISFY THAT HE IS CHIEF OF HIS NATION SO MAY SIT DOWN WAIT TO GET HIS SALARY AS A CHIEF AND A LAWYER.BUT GO AGAINST APARTHEID AND SPEND MANY YEARS OF HIS LIFE,as he did not accept to to get a gift but to aproductive,he also show us a leadership lesson as he gave from his salary A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE TO help the orphan children!
BUT THE DIFFERENCE I SEE 2 DAY IS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE A BARREN OR TO BE UNPROCTIVE.
AS WE see in nowa days that a person who is working is looking to get money from the people who are not working,before you can be hierd in a work you must pay somebody a bribe,(LET ME BE HONEST I AM NOT SAYING THAT ALL COMPANY ARE CORRUPT NO BUT OTHERS ARE NOT TREATING SUFERING PEOPLE WELL THEY TREAD THEM VERY BAD).
SO NOW IF A PERSON IS GETING A SALARY EVERY MONTH AND EXPECTING TO GET A BRIBE FROM PEOPLE WHO NEED HIS HELP ALREADY THAT PERSON IS LOOKING FOR DOUDLE PORTION,NOT TO BE A PRODUCTIVE.If he want a bribe and a person who want a job does have money,he will not give that person a job,or the man who was looking he need money to send his child to tertiary institude.SO NOW NO PRODUCTIVE BUT LOOKING FOR A DOUBLE PORTION. WHEN A PERSON DIE WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAID,how many people I'VE HELPED,OR HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE OPPESSED!
