AND THE MAN DIED


The following depicts the attributes of different cadre of men who at one time graced this planet earth

He had the most beautiful heart ever
His generosity was second to none
AND THE MAN DIED
He was a tyrant, brute and animalistic
He caused genocide and terror was his name
AND THE MAN DIED
He was the most handsome man that ever liveth
Her beauty and skin shone like the stars
AND THE MAN DIED
He made widows and orphans
He was a rapist and pedophile
AND THE MAN DIED
His wealth was like the sand of seashore
Even five generations after him would never know lack
AND THE MAN DIED
His fame and power knew no bounds
Her competitors are yet to be born
AND THE MAN DIED
He held power like his life depended on it
He was a coward and full of prejudice
AND THE MAN DIED
His writing and speaking prowess are intriguing
The world was at his feet
AND THE MAN DIED

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THEIR DEATH?

-Nations mourn for days
-Nations shouted for joy
-World leaders graced his burial
-His family were jailed and killed
-National site were named after him
-His name was blacklisted
-They wished him well in ETERNITY
-They wished he rots in HELL
But their memory fades as generations passed on

WHAT HAPPENED ON THEIR DEATHBED?

Knowing fully that a journey
of eternity is about to unfold
They wished! wished!!and wished!!!
Till they breathe their last
But what did they wished they had done?
YOU DECIDE!!!

If only in this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 1COR 15:19

Don't you care?

I came across this piece some years back, did some modifications; I just hope the message remains intact. Enjoy!!! You are driving home after a tiresome and energy-sapping day at work, you decided to tune your radio to hear the local news, you heard the breaking news that a small town in India has been struck with a strange disease, leaving about four people dead already, you don't give it much of a thinking at first- at least people die every day. You got home into the warm embrace of your wife and only son, after your meal, you settled to listen to the evening news and you heard that there is more to the news  its not only a town but three hundred towns with lots of people dead and still counting, but still it never got your attention because Chelsea is playing Barcelona in the champions league semi final that same night. You woke up the next morning and the headline news was that, the symptoms of this disease is now in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar, Kuwait and  infact the whole

The real cost

Thanking  @ jossef69 for his help in tweaking (as he choose to call it) this piece. Check him out here . One of the greatest expenses you will ever have in your life is opportunity cost- Warren Buffet. Chief Peter had an accident and lost his car; a GMC 2014 limited edition. He was en route to present the classy wheels to his daughter on her 21st birthday. Mister Paul also had an accident with his 1996 model Beetle that managed to double as a private vehicle and a taxi. It happened on one of his incessant visits to the doctor…. oh, mechanic. Here are the questions before us: What is the common factor? Both of them lost their cars in an accident. How are they different? One has fleet of cars; the other has fleet of cares. What is the cost of the accident? The former loses a little portion of his salary’s worth while the latter have creditors breathing down his neck. What is the opportunity cost? For Chief, it is the daughter’s goodwill he would have enjoyed as a result of surp

Your Future

                YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS        A brilliant and godly young man I know was asked a question during his sending off ceremony in an organization, the question was that “what would he have corrected if he is able to roll back the hands of time” and the answer he gave was that he would have chosen to have another father…wow…so shocking and thought provoking. So you mean of all the mistakes, erroneous guesses, choices and the “what if’s” he had committed in his two dozen plus years he has lived. T’was the “error” of having a “bad” father he would have loved to correct. But come to think of it, was it his undoing that made him had a bad father? Whose fault? That is one of the most bitter pill or better still bitter-sweet pill to swallow in our world. Some things are just of our control.      Okay now, let’s take for example, if the almighty gave me a choice prior to my birth, I would have chosen to be born probably in the united states or one of the developed count
