A lot have been said about the animal kingdom and
how thwarted world we now live in is tending toward
an animal kingdom. I thought that the last chapter
will be the last but I realise that there are more
similarities between the two worlds. Briefly we will
examine some animalistic behaviour that we now
exhibit in our world today. Please, relax and read
through:
# MIGRATION
One of the characteristic of the animal kingdom
especially the ruminant animals migration. They
move from one geographical locations to another in
search of greener pastures. They travel great
kilometres in search of food, especially during
drought period animals such as wildebeest, Zebra,
buffalos e.t.c move in search of food and water
while others such as the salmon migrate to
procreate, this is yearly and it happen at specific
time in the year. The carnivorous animals such as
the Lion, cheetah, leopard, crocodile e.t.c who had
claim territory for themselves usually wait in
ambush for them as they see food approaching
without having to go long miles in search. In true
sense if this animals decide not to migrate they will
probably all died of starvation, they migrate because
they need to and not because they wanted to.
The human world is not quite different form that as
well, men migrate from one place to the other it
might be intrastate or interstate or out the country
as a whole, but why do they do that? It is because it
is needed or because they felt it is needed, or they
just wanted it. Many migrate because of their basic
wants and not needs, they migrate solely because of
the cares of live and not because they needed to do
the will of God, some don't even think about the
dangers ahead or the difficulties in their new
location. My cousin went to India and where he
was, he was approached by an india lady, who
asked him to help her secure a Visa to Nigeria, that
she is suffering in India, he looked at her that if
Nigeria where to be better than India he won't have
sought for medical attention in India and that
Nigeria is facing almost the same challenge, she
won't believe Him but that's the truth. The truth is
we will have reasons to migrate form one place to
the other but the question is why? It is to satisfy
ourselves or to please God? Are we going because
we thought it is needed or because God needs us
there? Think about it, there is a way that seems
good to man but its end leads to destruction.
# INSTINCT NOT WISDOM
Animals can be very very intelligence, they can be
able to learn as human does, imitate man in actions,
all this sum together they are still not wise. Animals
are yet to differentiate good from bad, right from
wrong, they only do what they want to do per time
or if they are trained they do what they are told.
Despite all the training, animals have still proven
that they aren't wise as some still attacks their
trainers sometimes kills them. When an animal is
hungry he doesn't think twice he goes in search of
food and when he sees the food they eat, they are
moved by instinct and not wisdom. Men also are
more like animals in our modern day, they do not
think of the result or the consequences of their
actions, once its satisfies their present want or
urge. They live for the now, survival that is
animalistic not humane. Think about it, are you led
by instinct or by wisdom. Jesus is the Wisdom of
God.
# CAMOUFLAGE
Animals are master of disguise and they do that to
prey and avoid been preyed on. Animals both on
land, air or in the waters are good in camouflage.
Their is a fish that disguise as a female and fools
the male fish and fertilized the eggs (the male
actually guards the eggs from intruding). The
chameleon which is know to be the master of
disguise does so to prey and to avoid been the
prey. It has been noticed that albino cats such as
Lions, Tigers etc don't survive in the wild because
they are easily spotted by their prey, disguise is a
natural way by which they live and destroy each
other. Animals needs it to survive but men wants it
to destroy each other. Men are the best in
camouflage, they pretend to be what they are not
for many reasons and deceive each other to get
what they want. The world is filled with a lot of
disappointed individuals because they have trusted
men and women who have disguised as saint but
actually are demons. We need to be careful, a heart
that is not with Jesus is wicked heart and a master
Odun disguise. Note not a heart that goes to Church
or bears a christian name or a worker but a heart
that is dead to self and his carrying His cross daily
when following christ. Are you an animal or human
being.
