This article is of great insight and inspiration filled

I peruse the internet daily as one of the vast expanses of modern day technology, innovations, idea mines, business resources. Tons after tons of information have thickened the air over various issues of life aforementioned and even many more. For some, this information has been constructive, and for others it has been lethal.

Just as there are people who would prefer making themselves slay kings and queens on the internet, turning themselves into human animals with dog noses, drooling rabbit ears electronically attached to their faces using the Snapchat app, wasting precious time and data on Instagram watching one minute funny clips and skits which the uploaders themselves have used to make their pockets bulge with jaw dropping hard currencies for themselves by capitalizing on the stupidity and narrow mindedness of some of their numerous followers.
Recently, I stumbled on an information on the headlines of the social media, and I couldn’t believe how it made me weep like a child. A website where men subscribed for #2000 just to watch the nudes of women. Chai! ***Biting my fingers*** money I can use to manage a pot of soup for days.

SO PATHETIC!!!

It makes me wonder what has befallen our generation. The old song during high school days trod my mind. “Parents listen to your children, we are the leaders of tomorrow, try to pay our school fees and give us sound education.” I wonder if the child that would become the so called “leader of tomorrow” would ever be an efficient one, when he or she doesn’t know what to do with common internet data…other than useless chatting, pornography, snapchatting etc. the funny thing is that, the CEO’s of these social media platform which have made our youths lose their head, are all young billionaires. When I read of the achievements of our own kid millionaire comedienne – Emmanuella I covered my face in shame. I am almost thirty and am yet to find my bearing…well thank God my eyes are opened now. And I am forever grateful to Him for giving me the chance to retrace my steps. And that’s why it grieves me so much to see that thousands of youths are yet to sit, think and get sense.

I rummaged through these things, looking for answers to questions. Why are youths being so blindfolded? Why are they not positive minded? Why do we prefer to be so wasteful and slothful? Why do we often bite more than we can chew?

THE ANSWERS!!!!!!!

I realise that information which doesn’t have any relationship to the knowledge of Christ and the Bible is easily welcomed into an average mind. When a youth sees a post headlined “Ten ways to kiss your girlfriend passionately and make her scream,” they become excited, the link is quickly opened, funny enough if data erroneously runs out at that time, they can quickly transfer money from their accounts or even go to the length of borrowing airtime from their network subscribers just to watch the squalor that would only destroy their lives. But when they see posts like “Jesus loves you,” they scroll past like they have seen a taboo.

The taboo has now become the norm and vice versa. The knowledge of Christ and the Bible is the best thing or gift anyone can ever have. I don’t see the reason for us all not to believe in the word of God. Some say “have you seen God before, that you talk about him so much” my question then goes thus, “If I talk to you about the importance and benefits of air why do you believe. Have you seen air before?” if we all can believe in the air and its capabilities and we feel it daily, then it makes me want to wonder why are senses are firewalled against the knowledge of the Bible.

A book gives considerable knowledge about the author and so does the bible give us considerable knowledge of the endless powers of the Most High. Come to think of it! Are there any issues in the world that doesn’t have a reference in the bible? Is there anything going on today that hasn’t gone with the past? Are you aware that the bible covers every area of life; geography, genetics, business, relationships, politics, religion etc. No wonder it’s the bestseller of all time. It’s high time we all discovered ourselves.

Youths have to retrace their steps back to God. Being a child of God doesn’t restrict you from being wealthy or enjoying the riches of the world.
Concerning finance, even God confirms it in His word that “Money answereth all things” He goes further to say “Brethren I wish above all things that you prosper and enjoy good health, even as thy soul prospereth.” “Silver and Gold are His.” Biblical characters such as Abraham, Joshua, Caleb, Joseph, Deborah So I wonder where people get their notion that Christians aren’t meant to enjoy wealth. Even Christ pays taxes to Caesar and only warns “Watch and Pray” you are to watch the way of life you live, and you are meant to always commune with Him in prayer. He only warns; “that the love of money is the root of all evil.” Not spending it or having it. Be wise…get sense. It is only when you place money high above God that’s when it becomes precarious to the salvation of your soul.
If I am to breakdown every area of life the Bible touches, there wouldn’t be sufficient time for that.

I know that even this post now is already too long for some people to read ***Winks*** but whichever way the aim is for someone to be inspired… “in all thy getting, get wisdom and understanding” says the Bible. One big secret!!! Most of us already know but fail to apply…because this is a business oriented group majorly as I understand it to be, I AM HAPPY TO ALSO MAKE YOU KNOW…IN CASE YOU DON’T, AND SEE THAT GOD IS INVOLVED IN BUSINESS TOO. So you have a business and its not thriving well as you deem fit? Don’t quit that business. But I have and additional one for you. It’s called TITHING! Tithing is simply giving God 10% of your income. For someone like me who is undergoing restructuring now, I still pay my tithe… HOW? MY TIME! YES! I GIVE GOD THE TITHE OF MY TIME by having fellowship with Him for 2hrs 40mins… that’s what you get when you divide 24hrs by 10…simple math! Uh! 24/10 = 2.4. what happens when you give God your tithe? He opens the floodgates of the heavens (Malachi 3:8 – 11)… All just for 10% of your income… isn’t that wonderful. Be involved in this business and see if God won’t be involved in all your affairs.

NB: He is the best business partner you can ever have. He is the only one who wouldn’t defraud nor fail you. As long as you perform your own terms and conditions of your contract with Him, you will continue to get the returns
