The news that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA,
Abuja, had a flamboyant all-white yacht birthday
celebration in Dubai, generated a lot of heated
arguments and criticisms online last month.
The pastor had now stepped up to give a
comprehensive reason as to why the birthday
took place in Dubai. He was forced to do this after
he shared a story on his Facebook page and a
man accused him of not practicing what he was
trying to preach about.
Here is the post that stimulated the convo: ” I
found an interesting story this morning, and I
thought to share with you; A group of alumni,
highly established in their careers, got together to
visit their old university professor. Conversation
soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to
the kitchen and returned with a large pot of
coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain,
plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some
expensive, some exquisite, telling them to help
themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand,
the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice
looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving
the plain and cheap ones behind. While it is
normal for you to want only the best for
yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the
cup, but you consciously went for the best cups
and were eyeing each other’s cups. Now if life is
coffee, then the jobs, money and position in
society are the cups. They are just tools to hold
and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn’t change.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we
fail to enjoy the coffee in it.”
Family, “HE CAME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE”.
Don’t be consumed by circumstances or
situations around you, Focus on enjoying the
“LIFE” Jesus has freely made available to you. Did
you learn anything from this? Share with me.”…
