The Youth Proverbs (Vol. 10): "Radix malorum est cupiditas,(The love of money is the root of all evil)"

It answers all things,
Yet, in it's heart is all evil,
When you ear money, your ears starch up.
Chai! Money!
Thou youth! You are vulnerable to two,
Just two and one of the two,
Either Lord or Mammon,
The two have the keys to your heart.

Wait! Did I say Mammon?
Yes, Mammon is the money,
In Lord is the wealth and peace,
Oh! Peace is wealth.

Mammon buys your soul and gives you the money,
The Lord restores your soul and gives you the wealth,
But greed, greed the stronghold of Mammon,
Mammon comes with greed.

You need the wealth,You need your soul.
It's not without the greed, you want the riches,
You get the riches, you loose your soul.
What then is your gain?

Any and every youth wants the cash,
Many care less how it comes,
All they want is the luxury,
They can't afford to bow for the Lord.

Nine of ten bow daily for Mammon,
One of ten bows daily for the Lord,
In Mammon is greed,
In Lord is the love of integrity.

Radix malorum est cupiditas,
(The love of money is the root of all evil)
Integritas est radix autem bonitatem,
(Integrity is the root of goodness).

Blood everywhere in the name of I want,
Abomination in the name of I want,
Fraud in the air, all for notes,
Every youth wants the notes.

The integrity pays than money,
You hate your own soul when you love money,
You love your own soul when you love the wealth,
You gain your soul, you gain the wealth in the Lord.

In a Nutshell;
Many of the nefarious acts raging in our various societies are traced to "greed"(The Love of Money). This is not at all new, but as old as Adam and Eve in their falling state. And so common amidst the youth. Few aged people run after money, but the youth want the money at all costs.
The so called saved are not excluded in this matter, many for the love money left the Lord that love them. No wonder paul warned the young Evangelist, Timothy to flee from "the love of money". (1Timothy 6:5-11).
My Advocacy to dearly youths is, Let only the Lord in into your heart and not Mammon. This your youthful season is not a time to chase after money, it is a time to cling to the Lord and He will out of His aboundance bless you with wealth and peace. Cling to Him and be deligent. Your deligence fuels your integrity.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

TIME AND SEASON

Time simply means passing periods, that is, the progressive movement of period. Time is progressive. Time is measured in minutes and hours. Basically, The seasons are the main periods into which a year can be divided and which each have their own typical weather conditions.  Season can also refer to the period during which a particular activity or event takes place. Time and season work pari passu. Season expires in the progression of time, and time swallows up each season.     The life we live as human being is for a season (period of time), and whatever we do here on Earth awaits judgement. Hence, man passes through different stages of life which are marked by seasons. There are five (6) major stages of human life, they are; Infancy, Childhood, Puberty,Adolescence, Early Adulthood, Mid-Adulthood and Late Adulthood. These stages is what I further group in to  four (4) seasons of human life which are; The Infancy/Childhood Stage/Puberty T...
