Hello friends, am delighted to be here today. I can say with
all sincerity that I am not in a very good mood today.
I see a lot of people doing things that is very risky all in
the name of catching fun, what kind of fun will an individually possibly be
enjoying to the detriment of his/her life?
How will you neglect the risk in the
things you intend to do, throw caution into the wind and go ahead to do
indecent things in the name of fun?
As I pass through the high way every time; I see people
skating on the high way; when they can go the open fields, stadium and school
premises to comfortably do that. Some of them are usually crushed by vehicles
on high speed, nevertheless, I see others skating on this same high way that
their colleagues were killed. Again I do ask myself the kind of fun an
individual will be enjoying to the detriment of his/her life.
Sometime, I pass through the street and see thousands of
people in beer parlours drinking their life away. How would people think that
their problem reduces when they are drunk? That is arrant nonsense, when you
drink to stupor; you can only forget your problems for a while, when you wake
up from the hangover, you will meet your problems the way it is before you left
it.
So many people are suffering from different organ failures;
kidney failure particularly is very common now especially with the male folks.
Indecent attitude and lack of regard for their maker is solely responsible for
this. People drink, smoke and inhale different kinds of substances in the name
of catching fun.
Young people jump from one person or the other, engaging in
illicit activities in the name of catching fun, as a result, many of them end
up sleeping with river goddess and marine priest thereby exchanging their
destinies for five minutes enjoyments. As you go about sojourning in this life,
remember that you will surely give account of whatever you do, so thread with
caution.
This now reminds me of two Unilag students that got drowned
in the Elegushi beach recently. The government just went ahead to arrest the
beach managers, the beach managers explained that they instructed fun seekers
not to go beyond the red flag but they went ahead to disobey.
The painful aspect of this occurrence was the fact that their
friends hurriedly snatched them from the rescuers to take them to the hospital.
As graduates and undergraduates, they are supposed to be learned enough to know
that a rescued drown person needs to be giving first aid, water needs to be
pumped out of such person as soon as possible and external respiration has to
be applied.
But to my greatest surprise, they rushed them away without
giving them the opportunity of receiving first aid. It’s so unfortunate and I
feel so sad for the families of these two elegant beautiful and intelligent
ladies whose lives were cut short in their prime.
They both graduated from Covenant University with very good
grades and are studying for Master’s Degree at the University of Lagos. If you
are a Nigerian, you will understand what studying at Covenant University means.
It’s so unfortunate.
Dear friends, I beseech you, avoid any kind of fun that is
risky. There are several ways to enjoy yourself with your friends, choose the
less risky activities I beg you. Above all, involve God in all you do, seek Him
first for direction.
If you allow Him to direct your paths, even if you walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, you shall not be harmed. Doing this
is very simply, know Him personally by having a relationship with Him;
endeavour to do what He says in Mathew chapter six verses thirty-three and all
will be well with you.
Till I come your way again, remain blessed.
