Value Re-orientaion: Panacea To Materialism by nedostic: 6:56pm On Nov 26, 2011 |
I believe as a country what we need is value re-orientation. Lets go back to the basics of our religious inclinations, Christianity is all about modesty, Yes its good to prosper but the underlying factor should be good success as the bible puts it, I believe as a nation, we would never get it right until we come out of hypocrisy and build our institutions on values, churches and mosques are being replicated in every nook and cranny yet so many Nigerians wallow in poverty, We have equally forgotten so soon that poverty is a socio-economic malady and not a spiritual problem as we are made to view it from the religious angle, Most of our religious leaders are at fault because they have either failed to live right or to correct the wrong of the led. Religious teachings should be guided on sobriety, honesty,hard-work,love,sharing and reverence for God. On a final note, we all need to devalue materialism and place higher premium on acting and doing right always, |

@gotizsata, your comment is quite weird! I would not want to join issues with you but the reverse to me is the case. Jesus Christ to me is the ultimate, Please I expect quality contributions, |

money is better because god is satan, then in Luke 19:27 Jesus said But as for these enemies of mine who didn't want me to be their king-bring them here and slaughter them in my presence! |
