*** EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD (PART2) ***

Usually, we hear a statement like this, “APPEARANCE CAN BE DECEPTIVE”. In order words, you do not judge the value or worth of a thing by the facial look! A man or woman might be fine or beautiful outside but inside, he or she is a scorpion, snake or a monster. Many people are good in faking their feelings with their actions. And so if you have anything to do with such an individual because of their physical appearance or fake actions, you might be in for the worst mistake in your life.

A man deceived a believing sister into marriage by camouflaging to be a follow believer, God fearing and lover of the things of God. Being ignorant of the wiles of the enemy, the sister got attracted to the fake lifestyle and evil gifts the man always showers on her. She failed to seek the face of God and His Will concerning the relationship. As this brother keeps having strong influence on the sister with his demonic antics, the sister got entangled in his fake personality and she accepted marriage proposal from him.

It was not more than three months after their wedding that the sister started realizing that she had made the worst mistake of her life marrying that man without seeking the face of God. The man was a fraudster, murderer and pathological womanizer. Anything that depicts evil and wickedness is found in the man. He was an agent sent to seduce and pull the sister out of faith and bring her down. And she foolishly felled for the devilish ploy. Being satisfied of achieving his evil and wicked mission and putting a dent in the sister’s reputation and destiny, the man filed for divorce and dumped the sister. That was how the marriage ended.

Many people sell their properties including any portion of land they have, gather the money and travel overseas for greener pastures. They arrived the foreign land only to find out that Nigeria is better than where they have travelled to, morally and otherwise. Most times, these people became disillusioned and ended up in crimes, some don’t come back alive and if God be so kind, when they come back alive, they start from square one.

A particular brother deported from one of the foreign land narrated how he wasted many years of his life over there by ending up as a Homosexual and intimacy gadget in the hands of dare devils that calls themselves the Elite in that country.
After spending several years in a foreign land, a man returned back home as a pauper without tangible achievements. While most of his mate that he left when he was travelling were all well established and doing great in their various fields of study. The worst and dehumanizing experience he encountered at the course of obtaining the foreign certificates of that country (because his own country certificate was not recognized) landed him becoming a homosexual, all in a bid to survive.

A former ritualist and 419 fraudster made a shocking confession that they usually travel to foreign countries in order to stay off from public attention and scrutiny, while their main consignments and dubious enterprises comes from their own country home. “ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD”.
It is worth knowing that a person or a place may be good looking, having an attractive character and opportunities, but they may not really possess any genuine talent or ability respectively. They can even turn out to be without moral principles and honest.

As a child of God, pray that God will deliver you from the flashy things of this life and you will not be influenced by people but by what God says. The steps of the righteous man are directed by the Lord; also ask God to direct your steps so that you will not make any mistake…SHALOM!!!
