MANY MEN

If the race was to the swift, or battle to the strong, or bread to men of understanding, or riches to the wise, MANY MEN would be dull weak hungry paupers! If favor were to men of skill, or success to men of plan, or like say money no dey miss road, plenty men for no see light at all. Aren’t we thankful to God for the mystery of TIME AND CHANCE???

What’s however not thanks-worthy is the fact that MANY MEN seem to delight in messing with the TIMES AND CHANCES of OTHER MEN. Jesus says a STUDENT is not greater than his TEACHER. But MANY MEN don’t wanna see youngsters enroll in school, not to mention becoming as great as THEM, the SUPPOSED teachers.

In MANY MEN’s opinion, a filthy basement is the best abode for a youngster, even when God says the glory of the LATTER HOUSE shall be greater than that of the FORMER. For a time, KING SAUL of Israel unhealthily thought Israel was about him. He disobeyed God, dishonored God’s prophet, and attempted killing God’s chosen one, his successor.

All the deeds of Saul, how he fell on his own sword for fear of dying by the hands of those he once conquered, how the Philistines cut off his head, put his armor in the temple of idols, and fastened his body to the city wall, are they not documented in the first book of Samuel??? Yet, MANY MEN take no care to such incidences. For their mind, na Saul be dat.

But how are the mighty fallen! Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. That was David’s lament for the fallen Saul. I do not wish to lament the same for MANY MEN, even though they want PETTINESS for me. But if it comes to that, so be it!
