Since inception, mankind has been bestowed upon (by God) to take charge of the earth and its fullness thereof… But to what effect have these bestowments or possessions tolled upon mankind?
From mankind’s thirsty-quest for power to the unending yearning for material wealth and possessions… we live in an age where we put more value on the materials/possessions/positions we are gifted/blessed with than on the lives of other humans around or far from us.
Shouldn’t it rather be seen as inhumane and awkward? How the world now seems to overlook and deem it normal when people at any position of power, people having (more than) enough possessions, use them (negatively) to endanger or make life unbearable for those (humans) who are in lesser positions or are somewhat in a situation needing help?
” Take heed… for a man’s worth doesn’t depend on the abundance of his earthly possessions.” Your money doesn’t/can’t solve it all, see and serve humanities in need, is it the cars you’ve got? Humble yourselves whilst you still have them, are you blessed to buy or build that same dream house of yours? Use it to serve a purpose (positively) to your fellow men, you ain’t gonna be in there forever!
There’s nothing better than having these possessions, being in charge of the bestowments, matter of fact, we are all made to have them in abundance but we shouldn’t, in any way, let it interferes (negatively) in our relationship with our fellow mankind because everything (the houses, the cars, the clothes, the yachts, the jets, the positions…) are just TEMPORARY LOANS, At the end of our existence we’re leaving with nothing from this world to eternity.
We can gain the whole world but the sole aim is never to lose our soul in return and to find our worth, while still here, in helping, lifting and reaching out to one another in a way we’re all capable of because everything we’re bestowed and graced to have on here ( earth) is just a TEMPORARY LOAN!
Thank you Gbadebo Adebayo for this amazing insight. We should all be thankful of the blessings that we are given and strive to use them to for the good of everyone.
Amen, amen and amen!!!! I love this, too, such wise words more of us must live and share by example with others. Less is more. Strive for balance in all things. We must leave our world a better place when we leave, as this wise an says, “Take heed… for a wo/man’s worth doesn’t depend on the abundance of his earthly possessions.”
Thanks, Pamela. God bless
