'' You need both good and bad people to succeed in life ''- Anonymous

Life is a double edge sword is what the old dictum says, perhaps multiple edge; ,the good; the bad ; the not so good and the ugly . The world itself was created with good and bad mingling together . Let us also emphacised that human being were also born with what the Yoruba will supersticiously called 'Ibi Omo', Umbilical cord.

People often said ,every dissapoontment is a blessing ,but I prefer to say ' Every dissapointment may be a blessing in disguise . Yes, that's where we are going today . "The people you  expect to pull you down ,while on your knees ,may be the one to give you a hand '' .

 Why then the fuss about bad people ? Let them be bad to you, in as much as God is ready to use them as a vessel to lead you to your promised land . Sometimes ,when people reproach us, we tend to feel bad and dejected , but such may be a springboard to success .People have always passed the comment that ,mischievous people sometimes lead people to their places of destiny, i think i agree no less with this fact .Let them reproach you , if that is the mission they have been created to accomplish ,in as much as God is using them for a purpose . Another thing is that , God sometimes use bad people for a purpose in people's life ,but we may sometimes need the third eye or spirit filled life to discern what wonders God of Wonders was about to do . The only provinso is that do your part well and leave the rest for God to work out .Let us cast our mind back to the story of Joseph ,the dreamer in the Bible ,who was sold  into slavery by his own blood brothers, yet God made him the head of that household . Those wicked brothers of Joseph, were they not bad people in his life ?

Examples abound in history and in the real life settings that justifies this claim . I have a classical example of someone who was sacked by his employer out of envy and jealous for his rising profile , but years after ,he became a vessel God is using to bless people, including them  . Another brethren was unjustly redeployed by his employers , but years later ,he rose to the position of someone who now  decides the fate of his former bosses .

Let me also share this; for some people',criticism from other people is what they need to fire their creative imagination  . For others being cut short by bad people imbued in them the zeal and the fighting spirit to make it in life .For other people ,being sacked or being relieved of their post or job is the tonic they need to discover their real purpose in life . I  have seen people who were propelled by the torment of the evil ones to dig deeper into their spiritual life and come out strong as a warrior or prayer Lord . Why then ,the fuss about bad people ?. Viewed in another way ,when the piercing arrows of an enemy hit you like a poisonous substance , you can even besiege God through prayers to turn your sorrow to hero ,which I know the God of host will answer if you also have a good and clear mind . You need both good and bad people to survive in life . Period!
