They always say the good days are gone, I remember listening
to some senior citizens talking about how the educational system was during
their time, in the university they had meal tickets, school fees was less than N100,
they had their laundry done for them, and am sure they gave them their book and
no knows maybe cloths sef lol. I remembered
mentioning that they are the REAL AJE BUTTERS. All these sound amazing but I am
sure they had their challenges and dissatisfaction but they pulled through, and
today they are mentors of another generation whose way of life and challenges
were totally different from theirs.
I watched a clip where children from the ages of 5-10 where
presented with the box telephone, remember the one you have to dial by putting
your finger in each digit, then you roll it to the end and back again(don’t deny
it I know you remember), well it so happens the children had no idea how to use it, they laugh and wondered what it
was, it was funny that was when I realised I was no longer the child, am now
the adult and I get to tell them about my school days and the kind of music I listened
to and how music nowadays does not make sense, the fashion is now terribly etc.
(sigh)
Looking at the generations past, present and future, with their
different testimonies, benefits, challenges, way of life, type of music,
governmental system, how communication can be difficult between them due to the
age gap, never fully understanding each other’s values and reasoning it can be
frustrating most especially when you are trying to work together, with all that
I realise the bible is the same and it applies to them all.
The bible does not diminish, it does not change in style or try
to remain culturally relevant, the bible does not require a face lift, or a
remix, no need for marketers or adverts , the truth remains that the bible
deals with every challenge, I mean every challenge, answers are found there,
ideas, songs, policies, way of life, its literally the gold mine,
Never have I heard anyone say during my days the bible was
so so so and so, the word is consistent and sure, reliable and true, backed
with results.
Read the bible today,
it will bless you.
Celebrate you all.
