Hurricane Harvey - A WAKE OF CHANGE IN TEXAS!

I sympathize with a lot of people that have lost their homes, properties, possessions and lives to Hurricane Harvey in Texas and other areas affected, may God grant them the peace and the energy to move on in life.

But after checking the pictures and watching the videos of the areas affected, something struck me from within,
something that a lot may not be thinking about now...it is the word "VANITY" I saw beautiful houses covered with water, exotic cars submerged under water,and even people that the only thing they could pick to escape for their dear life is just a bag or just one dog. Folks I want you to understand a lot of them didn't plan for this, they were not expecting the magnitude of the occurrence, some may just bought their house,cars and other properties just a day before and see what just happened!

Everything we have is not really ours, even our lives. We wake up daily thinking of how to make our daily bread, amass wealth and live that life as if we own it in the first place. We need to start thinking beyond now, beyond the physical and where our eternity will be spent.

At the end of the day, we need to pursue what really matters which is our relationship with GOD, how we relate with people, how we can affect their lives positively and make the world a better place, living a selfless life and working out our purpose in life!

A lot of people have been displaced in Texas right now, some have a lot of possessions that have spoilt already now, some are going to start life all over again, some have properties but they are where they are getting relief right now, some have already passed away...REMEMBER none of them wished for this event or planned for it in anyway...the major thing on their mind right now is first, how to survive.

Aspire to pursue only what matters, the life we live is not really ours!

May the gentle souls that have passed away in the cause of this occurrence rest in perfect peace, May the Lord provide more for those that have lost their possessions and may God keep all of us remaining in the world right now to make it a better place!

If you are reading this, it means you are alive, since you are alive, you are a winner, because before you were formed in the womb, you won the first battle race by being the spermatozoa that fertilised the egg out of millions of spermatozoas released! Isn't that wonderful? ...Have you ever stopped for once to think that you are a winner by birth, you passed through the process of becoming a human being for nine months, you came out alive, crawl, walk, now you can run...its amazing how people over look what they are meant to be grateful for...

At the moment, it seems Paul and Peter Okoye of   Psquare   have decided to sell all the joint properties they own and split the money so they can finally go there seperate ways with no strings attached. LIB can authoritatively confirm that the duo have put up their ' Squareville ' mansion up for sale. A visit to the mansion located on Lola Holloway street, Omole Estate this morning shows the ' For Sale ' sign-post in front of the property and when we put a call through to the agent, we gathered that the twin building with a swiming pool, underground basement and other exotic features is up for sale at   320 Million Naira. At the time when Psquare moved into the mansion in 2010, Peter Okoye was quoted saying, ' getting a land in Omole Estate (Ikeja, Lagos) alone is N100m. When you look at the house, especially the finishing, it is over $2million. When people speculated that the house was worth N300 million, we had not even finished the int
