Scorpions sometimes sting themselves to death because they too are not immune to their own poison.

Be careful what you do for a living.

People make money daily from commercial s*x, po*******hy, fraud, 419, violence, drugs, fake drugs. There is no doubt that these constitute a billion dollar industry world over.

The acquired taste for luxury and the good things of life can be funded from the bad things of life.

If you are in an illicit trade, don't forget that neither you nor your loved ones are immune from the poisonous impact of your source of livelihood.

You or someone you love dearly could be victim of what you do daily and the consequences could be fatal.

Have you ever wondered why most Children of acclaimed "big men" are nuisance? The answer is not far fetched, trace the source or Origin of such wealth.

When you see a sad "wealthy man", take note that he is sadly paying for his illicit wealth. Pity him and pray for him. ....

Hardwork pays! !! The joy of that woman selling corn, that tailor, that hair dresser, that plumber, that agbo seller is the reason why God is doing wonders to earth through their offspring.

God can make a poor man suddenly and instantly rich. Sirach: 11:28

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatianns 6:7

The snake has no ears but its tongue is highly sensitive to sound vibrations so it constantly flicks the tongue to pick these vibrations and thus able to recognize and respond to sounds.

Nobody knows why God created some things with defects such as deafness.

When Jesus was asked this question His reply was that Gods purpose is to reveal His glory through these seemingly defective creatures.

However we have a lesson to learn from the snake.

The lesson is this. What you have was given to you to create what you don't have. Stop looking down at what you have.

All David had was a sling but it was enough in Gods hands to vacate Goliath. All Joseph had was the capacity to interpret dreams but it was all the ministers in Pharoahs cabinet needed to get back into favor with their boss.

All Simon had was a boat. He used it to locate the greatest harvest of his fishing career. All Moses had was a rod but it was enough to part the Red Sea.

No technology or science has been able to achieve this. Yes we can reclaim land now but to create a passage through a sea is still in process. Stop complaining about what you don't have, start focusing on what you have.

Take a sheet of paper and write down your current asset base namely; your contacts, experience, skills, time, education etc.

Also look through your wardrobe you may find something you can use to get what you don't have. If the snake hears with the tongue, there is nothing you cannot do if you put pressure on yourself.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Stop Complaining

*I LOVE THIS ANALOGY*

- When *GOD* wanted to create *FISH*, he spoke to the *SEA*
- When *GOD* wanted to create *TREES*, he spoke to the *EARTH*.

- But when *GOD* wanted to create *MAN*, he turned to *HIMSELF*.

- So *GOD* said:
*"Let us make man in our image and likeness"*.

Note:
- If you take a *fish* out of the *water*
it will *die*;
And when you remove a *tree* from the *ground*, it also *dies*.

- Similarly, when *man* disconnects from *GOD*, he *dies.*

🔆 *GOD* is our *natural environment*.
We were created to *live in HIS presence.*

- We have to be connected to *Him* because only with *Him* does LIFE exist.

- Let's stay *connected to GOD.*

🔆 Remember that *water* without *fish* is still *water,* but *fish* without water is *nothing* .

🔆The *soil* *without* the *tree* is still *soil,* but the *tree* without soil is *nothing* ...

🔆 *God* *without* *man* is still *God,* but *man* *without GOD* is *nothing*

🔆 If this message reaches you and you share it with others, that is called:
*EVANGELISM*

*God Bless You*
