Proverbs 5:1 (Read Whole Chapter)
"My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding!"
I woke up in this generation to a society that is fast losing value for culture, value for life, value for relationships, and value for virtue!!! How do we tell the tale of ways that kept our society together long ago, long forgotten, and long dispersed into nothingness!Is it possible for us to go back again, to a time when parenthood was universal, children were collectively owned, and values and virtues were deeply guarded!?
Can something bring us back again to the place where we were all each other’s brothers and sisters, and there was a huge line drawn between good and evil!? Would it be hard if I asked what happened to communal efforts to train our children, reprove wrongs in the society, and punish the offenders with one voice even without LAW COURTS!? Where did we lose the Social collective responsibility to our fellow man? Our neighbors; our brother’s children; our sister’s children; our relative’s children?
How did we lose the commitment to PROGRESS which made our ancestors (most of whom were not even saved)hold meetings and make contributions towards training any child who the community considers to be brilliant no matter who gave birth to him? Proverbs 10:21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
Where did we go to collect this level of wickedness which spores a parent to try to destroy another parents child just because he is progressing and promising!? Proverbs 11:12, "He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace."
Where did the witchcraft of evil competition, brazen manipulation and diabolism and evil greed for money in our communities come from? What greed has made our ELDERS voiceless, while their youths are desecrating the very foundations that kept sanity in our communities? Why would anyone see evil and call it good just so he can benefit from evil? And is there any REAL benefit in EVIL? Proverbs 10:23, "It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom."
ARISE! BROTHERS! ARISE! SISTERS! LET’S REBUILD THE OLD WALLS! Let’s go back to what made us a people of repute! A people of valor! A people of Purpose! Let’s rise and build, not just for ourselves, but for our neighbor, our brother, our sister, our people! Let’s use our tongues to count our teeth! What legacy are we leaving for our kids? For the next generation?
Even after you are gone, what you did will stand for or against you! We will not be saved from evil just because we act like the Ostrich (bury our heads in the sand while our whole body is exposed) hoping the evil will just go away without a deliberate action to stop it! Since old age does not necessarily teach wisdom! Let’s get wisdom and understanding.
The wisdom we need to build a lasting legacy is from the WORD of GOD!!! Proverbs 9:10 (Read Whole Chapter) "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." SELAH!
