UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF VANITY UPON VANITY
when you understand the concept of vanity upon vanity, then you will focus more on 'ETERNITY'

THINK OF THE BEST THAT LIFE CAN POSSIBLY OFFER YOU, EXOCTIC CARS, NICE APARTMENTS,MANSIONS,WORLD TOUR TRIPS, WINING AND DINING AT THE FINEST RESTAURANTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD,BEAUTIFUL WOMEN,CUTE GUYS,MONEY,POWER,RESPECT,ETC, ALL THESE SOUNDS PRETTY NICE AND HARD TO RESIST.

LETS NOW LOOK AT HOW MANY YEARS YOU WOULD SPEND ENJOYING ALL OF THESE GOODIES,IF YOU HAD THEM. AN AVERAGE MAN OF THESE DISPENSATION WILL SPEND 70-100 YEARS ON EARTH,

LETS NOW COMPARE 100 YEARS TO ETERNITY. 'WHAT IS ETERNITY?' Time without beginning or end; infinite time or The state or quality of being eternal or The timeless state following death. HAVE YOU EVER IMAGINED WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE WALKING ON A PATH THAT HAS NOW END,OR GOING ON A JOURNEY THAT HAS NO DESTINATION, THATS EXACTLY WHAT ETERNITY IS LIKE.

'100 YEARS COMPARED TO ETERNITY IS LIKE ONE DROP OF WATER COMPARED TO THE WATERS OF ALL THE LAKES,STREAMS,RIVERS,SEAS AND OCEANS OF THIS WORLD'.

THE QUESTIONS NOW ARE (1) WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR ETERNAL LIFE, 'LIFE AFTER YOUR SOUL DEPARTS FROM YOUR BODY'(2) WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU? YOUR BODY THAT WILL NOT PASS THE FOUR WALLS OF THIS EARTH OR YOUR SOUL WHICH IS ALL THAT WILL BE LEFT OF YOU WHEN THIS LIFE IS OVER?

THE BEAUTY THAT LIES IN HAVING GOD IN YOUR LIFE IS THAT,YOU CAN SERVE HIM AND STILL ENJOY THE BEST THAT PLANET EARTH HAS GOT TO OFFER. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LET HIM TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE, LIVE EVERYDAY ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,
