There are about 7 billion people in our world today. But, 80% of these figures live below the poverty line of $1 a day. It’s unfortunate, pathetic, and redeemable.
In fact, it is a world ravaged by poverty, misery, misery, violence, bloodshed, the dead, rampant economic problems.
Take it or leave it, most of the so-called problems, challenges facing our world today are self-created and therefore self-inflicted.
We, individually and collectively, have created most of these conditions that we face today, through our thoughts, words and deeds, yesterday and long ago.
When we help the poor, with our resources, talent, skill, experience, advice, smiles, kindness, experiences, whatever, we are accumulating positive spiritual works for ourselves, and this is an advantage for our karmic credit.
In our present lives, or when we die and enter the cosmic plane, the spiritual plane, or even our next incarnation on this same earth plane, we will come face to face with the consequences of our actions, good or bad.
As a special correspondent, writing for the Nigerian Tribune newspaper from the end of Lagos, I interviewed Rev. Mrs. Dele George, founder of Little Saints Orphanage Home, Lagos.
She really inspired this article and I am thankful that she was down to earth in answering the questions.

This is the only way to follow us and read some of our juicy stories daily.
Helping others will lift us individually and collectively on all planes of existence, even while we are still here on earth.
It will eventually bring world peace; if we lend a hand to each other regardless of gender, race, tribe or nationality.
Ask people who are well versed in spiritual matters. We continue in this incarnation from where we left off in the last one. You are free to agree or disagree with me here. You have every right under the sun to do so.
When we help the underprivileged in our society, we are burning off our negative karmic debt, or what Christians call sins, so to speak.
In our next life, we will surely continue in this school of life again, the cosmic of God will empower us and we will be born in a family, community, state and nation that will encourage us even more in one way or another to continue from where we stopped in our past lives.
