Proverbs 28:6
Better is the poor that walketh in His uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways though he be rich.
Someone might read this now and the first thing that comes to mind would be… I reject poverty in Jesus name, I shall not be poor,, etc😉 but wait o, as much as I’m not against such confessions, in fact, me sef, I reject poverty in Jesus name. 🙏 I wouldn’t want us to ignore the message of the passage this time around.👌
Our Society today has become so perverse that we only tend to applaud the ones who seem to be looking good, dressing well, using the best cars, living in fancy buildings, etc (of course they’ve got good results in life we say). Who cares about uprightness, good morals- abeg who that one help…as long as there’s cash flowing in, as long as my needs are met.👐
A young lady keeps collecting money from that man, and he’s not your father, neither is he your husband….infact, you have no intentions getting married to him- yet you call it smartness, 🤔I call it greed—my dear, your ways are perverse👌
As a young guy, you’re not scared of manipulating figures to get what you want… you’re smart shey? Nadar, its deceit– my dear your ways are perverse o😞
Maybe, you tell lies to get a favour you so much desire or think you deserve– you’re perverse in your ways nìyen o
Ah! Abi its that you find it easier to associate only with “the rich” regardless of what the source is, my dear, na the same category you dey o.
I could go on and on with the analysis
The devil offers a thousand and one ways to riches and pseudo satisfaction as long as he gets the soul of man in exchange for that transaction – – trade by barter burúkú
What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul….or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul. It seems to be our most valuable asset… Yet we often act so unconcerned 😞
If our hope is limited to this world, we are of all men most miserable and to be pitied.
My dear, Godliness with contentment is great gain o…
It may look like they are “making it” faster, but as long as it’s not in the legit way, you’re far better.🤔 Remember, the blessings of God maketh rich and addeth no sorrow.👍
May we be strengthened to walk in uprightness, may our hearts be filled with the joy of the Lord always and may our lives continually bring glory to God🙏🙏
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven😉😁
OGOcares😘
