Faith is a link between man and his creator.
Mankind has two challenges on this: that God is all-encompassing hence there is no basis for discrimination. And that religious activities have conditions for acceptance before God.
The declaration of God in the Holy Quran 2: 62, ''Those who believe in the Quran(the Muslims), and those who follow the Jewish scriptures and the Christians and the Serbians-any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.''
All adherents are, therefore, identified of which only one is good on the issue of achieving tranquility of the mind, peaceful co-existence, safe and secured environment, and sustainable development.
There are some adherents who do not allow the word of God to take root in their minds.
Another set of adherents are those that are like a rocky edge, without room for in-depth knowledge resulting in stunted growth because the root of the seed or words of God cannot get to the mineral resources bed of life.
The third type of adherents could be regarded as suffering from bad peer group bandwagon effect where the adherents are filled with the worries of a life-Godly mind with a satanic environment.
The fourth one that is good can bring forth the expected buoyant yield could be likened to that of the fertile soil of Godly mind in a Godly environment.
References to back up the above claim could be sighted in the Holy Bible Mark 4: 1-10, Holy Quran 11: 113, 18: 27-28.
In the Holy Bible Isaiah 6: 9-10, ''And he said, Go, and tell these people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10Make the heart of these people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.''
The Holy Quran corroborates this assertive judgment of divine substance in 2: 6-7, '' As to those who reject Faith it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe. Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing. And on their eyes is a veil: Great is the chastisement they incur.''
From these lessons let there be a paradigm shift of positive turning effect on your attitudinal disposition towards God and His words by standing aright in your faith to be a good vehicle of God and a veritable tool for development in your society.
Only God can make things work, I need God, you need Him, we all need the almighty Allah. Give Him total submission to His will to overcome barriers of life and quench the inferno of insecurity.
