NEW WEEK TONIC: VANITY

Ecclesiastes 1

The Scripture in Ecclesiastes 1 dwells mostly on the clear fact about life, "vanity!"

Exhortation:

An unavoidable that we are all struggling to avoid is death. No matter how rich or poor you are, a day is coming when you will sleep and will not be able to awake again. What then is the class about? What then is the pride about? What then is the brags about? It's worth knowing that there is no class in the grave. The more expensive your coffin is, the more stupid the purchasers are, because GOD appreciates such money more when given to charity, widows, the sufferers and poor in your family, the Work of GOD, and the rest. Because no matter how tarry it is, such coffin would be eaten off by termites.

Admonition:

Give your life to CHRIST completely. Matthew 6:33. So that after your journey here on earth, you can make heaven.

No matter how much wealth you acquire on earth, one day you will leave them. Why can't you touch lives positively with your substance, so that history will continue speaking loudly about you, even after your exit. Remember, once you do it, you do it for GOD, and if you do otherwise, you do it for GOD as well. The reward is always constant. Matthew 25: 35 - 46

Always ask yourself thus; how many people can say of me, "if not for him...", Or, "GOD has used him for me.....". If, despite your self acclaimed success or wealth, you cannot single out a lone person you have transformed his life, then you are a failure.

Conclusion:

When you make a soul smile, you have rescued a generation. Value people, invest into people, jettison pride, believe that there is another life after this life, believe there is heaven, believe there is hell as well.
