OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR 19TH NOVEMBER 2020.
Parrots are among the most intelligent birds with a unique ability for some species to imitate human voices. Very recently parot in London named Jessie escaped from thie home of the owner and perched on a nearby roof for 3 days. The London Fire Brigade was called to rescue the fine bird. The parrot owner told the fire brigade crew member that in order to bond with the bird, he should say to her, “I love you” The firefighter did exactly that. However, when he told Jessie, “I love you” she reportedly told the London Fire Brigade crew member to “fuck off” What a response to a loving call for a rescue, you would say. Brigade Watch Manager, Chris Swallow, said the rescue was attempted because there were concerns that she may be injured” since she had stayed up on the roof for so long.
Many people are like Parrot Jessie. When they hear a loving call for the salvation of their souls, they rebuff it, asking the preacher, like Jessie, to “fuck off.” You may be reading this piece today and you have rebuffed the salvation message for so long. Do not be like Israel that Apostle Paul referred to in Romans 10:21, “But to Israel He saith, All day long I have stretched forth My hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.” As in Verse 4 of today’s scripture, God’s goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering are aimed at giving you an opportunity for repentance.
Note also that the parrot spoke the words she had always heard the owner use! Be careful how you talk! Be mindful of how you dress! Be concerned generally about your lifestyle because someone or even a parrot might be watching you! The story of Jessie the parrot ended well. Later, she calmed down and returned back home to her owner and was filmed sheepishly saying, “thank you” to the fire service. Your own story too will end well as you always remember that: “Someone somewhere is learning a new lesson watching you live your life” (Wogu Donald). So, shine daily! Pray now!
