I REMEMBER...V A N I T Y
I vividly recall the story of a man who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80's edition of the Honda Prelude; you wouldn't buy that car for 50,000 Naira today. Vanity!!!

 A guy brutally murdered his brother, just because he wanted to acquire the rave of the moment - Pathfinder Jeep. That same vehicle is now better described as a coffin....Vanity!!!

 I remember as a kid, my whole street gathered at a neighbour's house to watch a "drama" shown on a "Double-Door Black & White Television". Today, there is Plasma Television and its almost found in every student's room....Vanity!!!!

 Some ladies left their true loves because some rich guy persuaded them with a Benz 190, which turned out to be the only car they ever owned till date.They found out too late that true love is invaluable.....Vanity!!!

What about Santana, Mercedes Benz, V Boot, 505 Evolution, Toyota Crown...? All overtaken by latest models of Camry, Honda, Bugatti, Bentley, X6, Acura and Infinity.... Vanity!!!

 A guy declared drinks because he launched the Nokia 3310 Mobile Phone in 2002.Today, that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phones..... Vanity!!!

What about the MTN SIM Card that many people went extra miles to buy for over 30,000 Naira?Today, you will not buy it anywhere because all networks are begging people to even take it for free...Vanity!!!

People are still making the most horrific sacrifices over VANITY and make enemies over WORTHLESS MATERIAL THINGS!

What can I say??

Look back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today; in your Marriage, Office, Family, Community... and see what becomes of it tomorrow.Just think about it!

 There is absolutely nothing you can't achieve... PLEASE TAKE IT EASY!

All you need is a Little Time , PATIENCE, Absolute Obedience and Trust in God and you would thank God without regrets.

There is actually nothing in this world that is worth going to HELL for. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

YOUR MONEY, POWER AND ARROGANCE CANNOT TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN; BUT ONLY YOU AND YOUR GOOD DEEDS WILL!!!

 Please be heaven focus, your eternal place of glory, peace and joy.

BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT AND FULL OF VANITY AND DECEIT

50 YEARS IS JUST 2,500 WEEKENDS!!!

Stature    It no longer a news that David killed Goliath. Hmm...  Why the scary look on your face. Oh!  You didn't know? Try checking your Bible after this piece.    Stature is a person's natural height. I know you might have seen me before. I'm not too short neither do I belong to the class of tall people.   Life is not to be faced with your stature, you don't need to be tall or short before you  overcome. Bringing back the scenario of David and Goliath, logically Goliath should have killed David and tore him apart.    I mean devour him without seeing his bone. But,  David looked beyond stature, he saw what no one can see, He lay hold on his confidence. He never allowed fear to set in.   Look at the world famous footballer -messi- no need for explanation.  We all know what the legend has become today. It makes me remember the times we want to change our bulb whenever it is faulty.  We usually c...

Multiplication or Addition

Addition or multiplication It flashed back to me during my primary school days, how my teacher beat me for not reciting the multiplication table well. Another crazy stuff is getting the additions correctly. "You will hear something like borrow one from this to become this, if you borrow one from this it's impossible. "   It's a good thing to start with addition and end with multiplication. There's a clear difference between addition and multiplication. Okay, no need to take anything to far.      Sit and be calm, I assure you everything you will be reading will be helpful .       It all started like a dream, when my head began to touch my feet. I wasn't taking it seriously; until I noticed people were not associating. I looked myself from head to toe if I was not in good shape.  This isolation was so much to be bearable.    I called everyone I could call to tell me exactly what was wrong with me. I was fasting and praying like...

Depression!  Depression is no respecter of anyone, be it rich or poor, young or old. And as simple as it sounds, it's deadly as it may not even show on the face of the ones who suffered it. You see that cute lovely girl who has the infectious smile ever, that same girl whom you have a crush on, yeah, she suffers depression. Did I hear you say its impossible because she's always cheerful and that she doesn't look like she does. Oh cut it Her quiet moment is of sorrow, she cries as she couldn't bear the loneliness within! Hence it's advisable to always check up on your friends and family. Never assume everything is going well with them. Amidst your busy schedules, randomly call, visit or text them. ****     ****    ****    ****    **** Dear confused mind, your worry isn't worth it. You're gonna be fine. Be good for us. We need you, this generation needs you, so be fine 😃 ©Tophame
