WEALTH AQUIRED THROUGH AFFLICTION:..An old and a young man are walking in the street of life,Though the old man was there before the young,yet the young man look unto him with eyes of reproach..The old man appreciated the tattered cloth he wore,but the young man is not contented with the gold-fashioned apparel he adorned with,The old man wasted no time to board a bicycle for his journey but the young man keep gazing at the plane that is flying above ,in the sky,from his penchant car...Time flies!..and it waited not for any body...The old man was destituded of his daily food,he striveth heavily in other to take his hand-to-mouth,he liveth in hut,drinketh from a flowing river,having red-waterish eyes all because he wanted to roast a piece of cocoyam...mosquito never taketh time to consider his affliction,it keep biting the old-grey hair-man..But the young man appreciated not what he possessed,though he liveth in a mansion,drinketh a purified water,eat the best food..he still want more,more,more and more every time he saw the breaking of the day..The man lacketh materials,but he was filled with wisdom and experience,The young man have many good thing but knowledge and experience are very far from him...wisdom calls ....The people of old show sigh of satisfaction to the little things they have,they were not rich like this generation,yet they never complain or grumble but this generation possess many things but they are not contented or satisfied...WHO LACKETH?......Righteousness exalt a nation but sin is a reproach to any man....(proverbs14:34)...Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord.....(16:5)....pride goeth before destruction ,and an haunty spirit before a fall(16:18)...wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:but he that gathereth by labour shall increase(13:11)..There is he that maketh himself rich,yet hath nothing:there is that maketh himself poor,yet hath hath great riches(13:7).....these are words of wisdom for you my brothers and sisters...rejoice when you have little but be careful when you have much.....people might have been watching you ..they might have been expecting much from you but only when you are still managing and giving thanks to GOD for the little you have,people might be looking at you that you ought to have marry or build house,gained admission to higher institution,have a better job,buy a car........but believe this: people want it for you not because they love you but because they want to show to you that they care,there care is not genuine but hypocritical,for there so-called care have no good benefit for you but only to harm ,endanger and wound your soul,by putting you in haste,anxiety and too much of depression there by oppressing you,but he would that loveth you will tell you to be patient and worry not"for the soup of life is very hot and it can not be drink in haste and with hasty hands"....dont set your life on fire by losing your mind in deep thought of how things is for you today but believe that"the wealth of man come not by effort but by grace"so if it is by grace the strenght reap nothing but the time set for all man is different,those that died in their state of affliction are those that raced with time,and later fall away from the track when all there efforts are exhausted....The road of life is the same,but chance and time make things different,and man maketh it tough for himself when ever he thinketh that his wisdom and strenght can give him what he wants....Target of aquiring wealth suddenly and the mind or thought of hasting to possess are one of the basic factors that kills one dream...As the partridge sitteth on eggs,and hatcheth them not;so he that getteth riches,and not by right.shall leave them in the midst of his days,and at the end shall be a fool(Jeremiah17:11)....The best thing for a man to do in the time of affliction is to take the tablets of patient and the water of prayer,but make sure you take enough water,for one patient will certainly be fruitless when prayer is left out,Having faith in the MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE GIVES LIFE even when all hope of a man are dead...righteousness build a nation but sin burn it down...keep the best for your self by giving the MAKER OF ALL THINGS a chance to make all things possible for you..but let your life be without sin,for HE is a HOLY GOD, that HE can not walk in a life where there is filthiness...forsake pride and arrogance,for a heart with pride is without understanding but a humble heart will increase in knowledge....Be contented with the little you have and pray for more with patient,for heavens shall vanish away like smoke and the earth shall wax old like garment,and the people that dwell therein shall die in like manner,but the salvation of the LORD shall be forever,and HIS righteousness shall not be abolished.(ISAIAH51:6)
