and a popular controversial claim that emerged in the 20th century holds that it is the only man-made structure that is visible from space.
Originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang (c. 259-210 B.C.) in the 3rd Century B.C. as a means of preventing incursions from Mongolians and barbarian nomads into the Chinese Empire, the wall is one of the most extensive construction projects ever completed.
History has it that when the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the Great Wall of China; they thought no one could climb it due to its height. During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice and every time, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the wall, because each time, they bribed the guards and came through the doors.
The Chinese built the wall, but forgot the character - building of the wall-guards. Though the Great Wall has over the years become a powerful symbol of the country’s enduring strength and spirit, but it has actually been a good reminder to the Chinese of the superiority of human character.
The Chinese realised much later that the best defence against the enemy is not a fortified wall, but a fortified character. Thus, the building of human character comes before building of anything else.
Prayer is not EVERYTHING! Build relationships, and don’t ever forget that God will always use man. Be mindful of your words and how you speak to people. Work seriously on your character and attitude towards life.
I want to say emphatically that *character is not optional;* it is sacrosanct to the future that God has planned for you. No matter where you place prayers, character matters. *The greatest fraud in life is religion without character.* A man without character is recklessly alive.
William Shakespeare captured it succinctly when he said: *“The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves* .”
Peter Schutz, the former chief executive officer of Porsche said: “ *HIRE CHARACTER; TRAIN SKILLS* .”
Lastly, back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin.
One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side.
The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing, but they didn't.
Instead they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side.
On top of this stack they placed the sign:
*“EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"*
How very true! You can only give what you have.
What do you have inside of you?
Is it *hate* or *love* ?
*Violence* or *peace* ?
*Death* or *life* ?
*Capacity to build* or *capacity to destroy* ?
What have you acquired over the years?
*Team spirit* or *pull down* architecture ?
*"EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS"*
Think about it!

Disturb Us Lord
Prayer by Sir Francis Drake
Sir Francis Drake, famous sea captain was the author of the words in this post
Disturb Us, Lord, a prayer written in the 15th century by the famous sea captain and explorer Sir Francis Drake, is a striking appeal to God! Centuries later a wonderful song has been written and recorded also entitled Disturb Us Lord. They both remind me of how I can get off course in life and become distant from God. Sometmes I need to be disturbed and reawakened.
I urge you to first read the prayer, written in 1577 by Drake, who is famous for circumnavigating the globe. Read his appeal slowly. Then read the lyrics to the Disturb Us Lord Song. Contemplate Drakes timeless sentiments and those of the modern song
Ask God To Open Your Heart And Mind To The Message These Words May Hold For You.
What is true for your life? Ask God for His wisdom and discernment.
POEM by Sir Francis Drake
Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, when
with the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wilder seas
Where losing sight of land
We shall find the stars.
We ask you to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push back the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love.
This we ask in the name of our Captain,
Who is Jesus Christ! (End of prayer)
DISTURB US LORD LYRICS
Here are the Lyrics to DISTURB US LORD by Tony Wood/Lee Black/Dave Clark
Disturb us Lord
When wordly things delight us and we
Fail to look above
When we withhold from others
Though we’ve been given much
If the fire of our first love’s not burning bright as before
Disturb us Lord
Disturb us Lord
When we’re not in your Word and we don’t
Spend time on our knees
When we have a chance but we don’t speak the
Truth that sets men free
It we don’t worship you with fiery passion anymore
Disturb us Lord
Sometimes in your great love
You comfort the troubled
But other times in your great love
You trouble the comfortable
Disturb us Lord
If our lives never touch the lives
Of those still in the dark
If we don’t live with hearts that break for
Things that break your heart
In tenderness please lead your church
Back to your heart once more
Disturb us Lord
If we ever lose the wonder
Of the cross that you once bore
Disturb us Lord
Disturb us Lord
