We all know that things have changed compared to a few years back that everyone was 90% innocent ( just an assumption, I hope we understand) and only a few ones are being wicked in their ways. We must have heard the history from our parents or read it from different books about your country, how it was peaceful then and everything was going on smoothly but everything has changed greatly and we no longer have our peace of mind nor have a smooth day any longer in the country that we found ourselves.

How are we all doing? Hope you all are having a fun-filled day? Let's continue to hustle and don't forget God in whatever we are doing, God bless.

Back to what I am discussing earlier, we no longer see sin as anything special in time like this, we assume it is normal like an article I wrote in my formal account and titled it "norms of the day" this is the link to the article. Here I wrote about different things we see as natural and normal whereas they are sins that we commit every day.

In times like this, kidnapping has become very rampant in every part of the country especially in my country here, people no longer feel secured and saved for their life, they now live in fear and this took their peace of mind.

In times like this, the killing of humans is no longer something special, is now like killing animals to eat. Murderers, assassin killers, cultists and thugs now kill for fun and money and kill for just a because of a single argument that transpires among them.

In times like this, cheating is seen as a way to make it in life for students, they no longer want to use their brain and they feel it is the best way to Ace all papers and badge a first-class, they see those that read as fools. In a relationship too, married men and women now see cheating as a way to punish their partner for their wrongdoing or as a way to have fun while their partner is away for long.

In times like this, premarital s*x is in vogue among the youth of nowadays, they see nothing bad in it at all to the point that they can say it boldly that they can't do without s*x a day. Virginity to females is now like free airdrops that can be given to anyone and the males also, they think is all snake we can eat and after eating they clean their mouth. They have forgotten the part of the Bible that says the bed should be undefiled as the body is the temple of the lord.

In times like this, money ritual is what is beeping in everyone minds because of the situation of the country. They feel money is all we need to live in this and they feel one without money in this world is a useless person. All this mentality push them to do the unexpected, they use the human part or take the human life for money ritual. They use both pregnant women and virgins for ritual, they use all sorts of things all because of money.

In times like this, false prophets are now seen as the saviour of the world that they can run to in times of trouble. Many have seen them as Jesus (the saviour they are expecting) with their false teachings, they have put all their life matter in their hand forgetting that they are humans too. All these false prophets too have also forgotten that all these will only lead them to hellfire and not heaven for misleading a multitude to the path of destruction.

In times like this, cybercrime as (yahoo-yahoo) popularly known among the youth nowadays is the only means the youth thinks they can survive in this bad economy and bad government. I don't know how they derive joy and comfort in scamming people and collecting their hard earn money from them. All these are bad and needs to stop. They have become very lazy and cruel in their way of life because, for them, only a fool keeps working under the hot sun.

In times like this, smoking cigarettes and all other puff stuff and drinking alcoholic drinks are getting out of hand in the community. It was boldly written that smokers are reliable to die young and yet, people ignore that part of it and still takes it, all this makes me wow sometimes that humans can be very unpredictable and stubborn. We know a particular thing is bad but we will choose to do it.

All these and many more at what is happening in our environment in times like this and is affecting us negatively. So what should we do in times likes? How can we live a holy life and to the glory of God in times like this?

God is all we need

We need to retrace our step back to the creator, the owner of the universe and the owner of our life. At this point, I don't think anyone needs to the preaching of the word of God because we all know what's right from wrong. Although some haven't heard about the God and they need to, also constant preaching to those who already know him serves as a reminder to them that God exists, so for this, we all still need the preaching of God word. We need to go seek his face and ask for his forgiveness and start a new life, we need to stop all these bad acts and turn a new leaf.

It is God we need in times like this, we can't do without him, we need to trust him and do exactly what he has commanded us to do.

Thanks for reading and God bless you all, till I write again.
