I STARVED FOR YOU TO EAT.

Image
 😢  Dear Son, I want to know why I died like a poor woman when I have a Son like you. My Son, I wanted to bless you before I die, but now I have gone with my blessings. My breakfast, my lunch and my dinner was one of my challenges when I was alive, but you spent money to cook all types of foods, meats and different types of drinks on my burial day. My Son, you choose to spread and rubbed my dead body with costly fragrance when I was using groundnut oil as my favourite cream. You dressed my Corpse with an expensive cloth when it was difficult to buy a wrapper for me. When my Corpse was in the Mortuary you came to check on me from time to time, you care about my Corpse than when I was alive why ? The most painful thing is the kind of expensive coffin you put my Corpse when I lived in an uncompleted house while alive. When you were young I starved for you to eat and be satisfied, I wore one cloth in order to provide enough clothes for you. I thought you would take care of me whe...

Life is nothing BUT Death is certain.

 The day I entered mortuary, what I saw was undescribable.... Human beings laid down on bare floor and stark naked.They are more than fifty. Some were supported by jerry cans, some were placed on bare floor, some on tables and some on plank. Women and Men were together but were stoned dead with their private part uncovered. When we pushed Dare inside, the attendant removed all the cloth on his body and my leader was stark naked and he was placed on a wood. I looked at him, he could not protest, he could not use his hands to cover his nakedness and I asked myself, what is this life all about??? Why are we struggling to possess everything????why are we having pride and ego as if we own the world.????? Why can't we forgive one another and know that vanity over vanity and all is vanity...... See house owners, degree holders, car owners lying on top of one another naked without shame...... See different hair styles on the head of women and here they are stoned dead. Life is nothing, pos...

THE TWO HOMELESS MEN.

Image
Victor and Adam ; the two homeless and poor men were on a walk as usual to find something for a living. Fortunately for them, they met a man who has  given them a chance to travel abroad on an all-expenses paid trip. They were told to carry nothing and return with nothing. They were to make sure they spend all that was given to them.  Provision had been made for their expenses and welfare which they would get upon arrival at their destination.  The only caveat was that neither of them knew when they would be asked to return home.  As they arrived, they were both given a huge sum of money and a credit card with no limits, but reminded to spend it all before returning to their home country.  At this, they became instantly wealthy by local standards. Adam thought to himself. "Wow! This is my opportunity to live like a king for I don't know how long this would last".  So he went and rented an expensive Ferrari and rented the best room in the best hotel in tow...

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

Image
One day, a young beautiful woman who is a devoted Christian was on her way as usual to Church when she heard some misunderstandings and quarrel in the next neighbor's house, so she quickly walked there to show concern. To her surprise, her friend who is not a devoted Christian was fighting with her husband as to who must take care of their only child. Because, poverty was fighting them and they had no option than to neglect their son. The devoted Christian Lady adopted the boy and took full responsibility of the child despite she also has children. She never showed any difference and loved all the children equal. Since the adopted boy was older than her children and was also ahead of her children in education, she invested all her resources that are meant for her children in to the boy.  People were questioning : "are u sure this boy u are taking care of today will one day remember you?, why don't u save instead and invest in your children's future" . she only ...

We live to please God and not man.

The shirt/dress we put on, the shoes we wear, the expensive food we eat, the cars we buy, the luxurious life style we live. Do we do all these to please God or Man? Some people will act blind when they see others suffering, they will pretend they don't have and instead of letting it end there, they will go an extra mile to hurt you. God is not going to judge Man according to how much he possess in his Account, he is not going to judge according to the luxurious life style one lives, he is not going to judge the expensive schools one attended or sponsoring their Children to attend BUT he is going to judge you according to how you lived and made good use of your resources. Buying expensive wants is not bad, saving huge in your accounts is not bad, making savings for your future or unborn children is not bad but would you have to look down on people who needs urgently and presently. Ask yourself that, "When I die right now, what accounts will I render to the Creator?"...

If Tomorrow Doesn't Come

Image
An old man told me a story about his late cousin who used most part of his active life in service to pay off a mortgage. He wanted to build a mansion so he took a huge loan for it. All other dreams he had were buried in his quest to build this mansion as he was stretched to the limits. He died shortly after his retirement and in a few years, his wife and two children he left behind had no real time use for his mansion. To them, it was too big, a waste of space and to all intent and purposes, old-fashioned. They sold the house off to buy a smaller apartment and some cars. The man who told me this story was pained for one thing: that mansion was the reason his cousin could hardly take care of other life's necessities. He literally lived for it but shortly after he was gone, it was up for sale. Friends, for once, slow down and take good care of yourself. I know you like to save for tomorrow but today happens to be a tomorrow you once talked about. For many people, their tomor...

MY LIFE JOURNEY, NOT A COMPETITION.

Image
You were born in a first class hospital, I was delivered at home, we both survived. You went to a private primary school and I went to a public school, we both ended in the same high school. You woke up from the bed and I woke from the floor, we both had a peaceful night rest. Your outfits are all expensive, mine are all simple and cheap, we both still cover our nakedness. You ate fried rice and roasted chicken, I ate local made food but we both still ate to our satisfaction. You ride on Lexus jeep, Range Rover, G Wagon, Hummer Jeep and I use public transport but we still got to our various destination. You may be reading this post from your Sony Xperia,  Goldvish Le Million, Vertu Signature Cobra, Samsung Galaxy 8Edge, iPhone11s+ and I typed it with my Touch one broken screen, we still see the message. Lifestyle is not a competition and there are different ways to get a lot of things done, different lanes all leading to the same destination. Just because your neig...
